Considering Sites for Development in Inwardleigh Parish (including Folly Gate) Site Information Pack This pack contains:
A Site Information Table This table sets out information about the constraints and opportunities for each site which have been considered. Depending on the constraints identified, we have concluded that there are either ‘significant constraints’ to development or ‘limited constraints’ to development.
Site Maps These maps show all of the sites which have been considered as part of this exercise. For more information Constraint Maps South Hams and West Devon Place Making Team Follaton House, Plymouth Road, Totnes, TQ9 5NE These maps show the different constraints, such as conservation areas, flood zones and the wildlife sites.

Folly Gate - General Information Folly Gate is a small village located in the north of the Borough. It has only a limited range of facilities within the village which include a pub and village hall. The designated primary schools for Folly Gate are Okehampton and Hatherleigh Primary Schools. There will be a requirement to provide financial contributions towards primary school transport from any new development. Development will also need to contribute towards additional primary school land and/or facilities at either Okehampton or Hatherleigh. Hatherleigh's current site is not capable of expansion and some land next to the school site would have to be secured. The designated secondary school is Okehampton College and financial contributions will be required from new development towards additional capacity and secondary transport.

Development of this size and on the character of the village eastern side of the A386 would alter the character of the village and make it more visible in views from Dartmoor. The size of the site and its location to the and wider landscape, east of the A386 does not lend itself well to development, even small scale, without significantly affecting the character of the settlement.

Any development should follow these structural boundaries. local facilities only The site covers a large area and development on the whole site would represent a significant growth of the village with the potential to impact on the small landscape and character of the village. A smaller scale development is likely to be more appropriate in terms of respecting landscape and settlement scale development is character. However, because of the site's location which benefits from being well related to the rest of the village there could be opportunities for a slightly likely to be suitable. larger scale development if it improved the offer of services in the village.
