    NPA/DM/14/020 DARTMOOR NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE 04 April 2014 SITE INSPECTIONS Report of the Director of Planning 1 Application No: 0042/14 District/Borough: West Devon Borough Application Type: Full Planning Permission Parish: Burrator Grid Ref: SX548726 Officer: Andy West Proposal: Conversion of barn to ancillary accommodation/holiday use (retrospective application) Location: Withill Farm, Sampford Spiney Applicant: Mr & Mrs R Kitchin Recommendation: That permission be REFUSED Reason(s) for Refusal 1. The proposed development, by reason of the degree of independance and physical separation from Withill Farmhouse, would be tantamount to the creation of an unjustified dwelling in the open countryside contrary to the Dartmoor National Park Core Strategy Development Plan Document in particular policies COR2 and COR15, the Development Management and Delivery Development Plan Document in particular policies DMD23 and DMD25 and the advice contained in the English National Parks and the Broads UK Government Vision and Circular 2010 and National Planning Policy Framework 2012. 2. The proposal would result in holiday accommodation in a building outside a recognised settlement which is not in association with an acceptable farm diversification scheme contrary to the Dartmoor National Park Core Strategy Development Plan Document in particular policies COR2, COR18, COR19 and COR20, policies DMD9, DMD35 and DMD44 of the Development Management and Delivery Development Plan Document and the advice contained in the National Planning Policy Framework 2012. The site inspection panel met in the car parking area to the immediate north of the main dwelling. All parties then made their way through the farmyard area towards the application building.

  • Appendix 1 to Report 33/2009 CHALLENGING the CUTS
    Appendix 1 to Report 33/2009 CHALLENGING THE CUTS DEVON AND TORBAY POST OFFICE TASK FORCE FINAL REPORT JANUARY 2009 INSIDE FRONT COVER Brian Berman 5 July 1939 to 30 September 2008 (insert photograph) Towards the end of the work of the Devon and Torbay Post Office Task Force Councillor Brian Berman died suddenly. Brian was a member of the Task Force from the outset, representing the County Council. He was an active and determined member and a passionate advocate of the needs of Devon’s communities. The Task Force deeply appreciates his commitment to the task of fighting Post Office closures and the time and energy he put in. He has been a very sad loss to his colleagues and the community. This Final Report is dedicated to him, in the hope that his contribution will result in a real change in the way rural communities are served. 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report summarises the work of the Devon and Torbay Post Office Task Force. It explains the processes that the Task Force went through, its actions and achievements and the lessons it learned. The report then presents clear recommendations at the local, regional and national levels. In presenting this report the Task Force hopes that the lessons it has drawn from the process of the review of the Post Office network in Devon will be heeded and acted on. The process has, in the view of the Task Force, been deeply flawed and the outcomes unsatisfactory to say the least. Unless there is recognition at all levels of government of the value of the Post Office network both nationally and to local communities, the Task Force fears that the network will be further eroded.
