That the Habitat Regulations Appropriate Assessment contained within the report be adopted; and, 2. The application be APPROVED subject to conditions. Crown Copyright and database rights 2019 Ordnance Survey 100023746 Committee Date: 29th August 2019 Whimple And Target Date: Rockbeare 19/1606/FUL 18.09.2019 (Rockbeare) Applicant: Mr N Readfern (Whimbrel Homes Ltd) Location: The Elms London Road Proposal: Construction of 3 bay garage with flat above RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the Habitat Regulations Appropriate Assessment contained within the report be adopted; and, 2. The application be APPROVED subject to conditions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application is before Members as it represents a departure from adopted policy. The proposal seeks to provide a flat above a garage block that has previously benefitted from planning permission. As the principle of development of the site has been found to be acceptable by a Planning Inspector in 2016, due to its close relationship of the site with Cranbrook, and with planning permission subsequently approved for the garage block as part of a development of 4 dwellings on the site, the principle of a building in this location and residential use of the site has been established and is acceptable. The access is suitable to serve the additional dwelling and adequate car parking is provided. Whilst the proposal will increase the ridge height of the garage slightly, and introduce a couple of dormer windows and gable ends to the front and rear elevations, the site is set back from the main road frontage and as such the design of the proposal is considered to be acceptable.

  • Rockbeare Parish Council to Offer Our Views on the Revisions to the Electoral Divisions for Devon County Council
    ROCKBEARE PARISH COUNCIL The Review Officer (Devon), Local Government Boundary Commission for England, Layden House, Turnmill Street, LONDON, EC1M 5LG. 15 January 2015 Dear Sir, New Electoral Divisions for Devon I write on behalf of Rockbeare Parish Council to offer our views on the revisions to the electoral divisions for Devon County Council. Most people in the parish identify with Rockbeare and Marsh Green and go to Ottery St Mary to access local facilities such as shops, leisure centres, doctors etc. There are no shops in the parish, one post office shared with a vets and one well known public house which readily identifies itself with Rockbeare. Our area and its immediate surroundings are heavily influenced by the emergence of a major new development, Cranbrook, which has in a short time grown from nothing to having about 1000 houses in 30 months and continues to grow at that pace adding at least 50 new houses every month. Already there are more houses in Cranbrook than there are in our parish. East Devon District Council has revised our parish boundary such that the area north of the rear boundaries of properties fronting London Road will be part of the Cranbrook Town Council area as from 1 April 2015. The Cranbrook developers have submitted an outline planning application for about 4,500 additional houses to extend the area of the development to the west, east and south of the current outline consent, taking the total number of houses to about 7,500. As this is already part of EDDC Local Plan proposals we assume that the application (or something very close to it) will receive approval.

  • Regeneration of Ottery St Mary
    The Aim To have a sustainable and economically vibrant and dynamic Ottery St. Mary, centred on a well preserved and maintained historical centre with safe access for pedestrian and car users. Where we Are Now And How We Got Here Ottery’s History is Written on its Buildings and Streets Structural Changes/Appearances Developed around horses and pedestrians Structural Changes/Appearances Dirt tracks to tarmac - now trying to cope with excessive traffic Nearly all roads into town have on-street parking reducing two way traffic into a single lane Structural Changes/Appearances Few suitable unloading areas for businesses Structural Changes/Appearances Congested roads with too much large traffic Structural Changes/Appearances Additional signs, too many signs, confusing signs. Suggests Ottery being used by through traffic Heritage - Renovation Natural Environment/ Green Space Land of Canaan- only exists because of public campaign in 1970s to stop housing, but is now at the heart of many community events Natural Environment/ Green Space Only other large visible green space in town centre lost to housing in 2015 Natural Environment/ Green Space River Otter provides a natural environmental asset, but is under utilised The clear and urgent need for regeneration has evolved out of years of public consultation. Where We Want to Go Area Under Consideration To assist in focusing our ideas, the working group has identified Ottery St Mary Conservation Area as at the heart of the regeneration bid Why the Conservation Area? .A definable boundary already
