Purpose of the Exhibition

The purpose of this exhibition is to seek the views of the local community toward the proposed development at Pinn Court Farm. A number of display boards have been prepared that show how we think the site can be best developed. We hope that feedback from this exhibition will enable us to better understand what uses the local community would like to see on the site should the development go ahead. The feedback we receive will be taken on board and will form part of our planning application to East Devon District Council.

Please feel free to view the display boards at your leisure and ask us any questions about the development that you may have. We have prepared a short questionnaire for each attendee to complete. We would be grateful for your comments and when completed, please return the questionnaire in the box provided. Alternatively send us the completed questionnaire at a later date or email us with your comments.

• Use water efficient appliances, fittings and systems, such as dual flush • Rainwater goods designed to allow for the installation of water butts.

The selection of materials for the construction of the buildings will be informed by environmental considerations, favouring elements with the lowest lifecycle impact as determined by the BRE’s Green Guide Specification. Preference will be given to the specification of sustainably sourced materials for all of the main building and finishing elements e.g. PEFC or FSC sourced timber.

Care will also be taken to ensure the scheme provides opportunities to enhance the biodiversity and ecological potential of the site, with the retention and reinforcement of hedgerow habitats and installation of bird/bat boxes a priority. This will help to provide a strong landscape framework for the scheme.

The drainage proposals for this scheme will be in accordance with Environment Agency and SUDS Management Train requirements. Surface water runoff will be dealt with using sustainable means such as source control via soakaways. Soakaway test have already been carried out across the site, establishing their viability in several locations. As such, the surface water drainage strategy for the site is likely to be a combination of infiltration drainage and attenuation tanks.
