This Council therefore commits to reviewing and aligning all our other plans and policies as well as our practices to ensure we meet our targets on carbon reduction and prioritise proactive protection and conservation Page No of our natural environment and wildlife heritage. By doing so we will ensure a prosperous future for our people, our wildlife and our planet for generations to come.’ b. From Cllr Hodgson and Cllr Rose ‘The new Government planning proposals could strike at the heart of South Hams and undermine the future and quality of our natural and built heritage and outstanding landscape. This Council therefore commits to recruit more Conservation officers into its planning team to enable applications and appraisals for new and extended protective designations of our AONB and Conservation areas to ensure their future protected.’ c. From Cllr Brazil and Cllr Baldry ‘The increase in housing numbers proposed by the Government's planning reforms would be a disaster for the South Hams. Yet more of our countryside would disappear under concrete. This Council will challenge the government by way of Judicial Review if anything but objectively assessed housing numbers are forced upon us. Housing numbers should reflect both local need and type of housing only.' d.

In proposing the motion, Cllr Pearce advised that the Council had now been successfully operating its formal Member meetings remotely for a number of months. As a result, it was now considered timely to reinstate the ability for Members to be able to submit Questions and Motions on Notice to Council meetings. During the ensuing debate, Members expressed their support for this motion and it was then: RESOLVED This Council RESOLVES to delete paragraph 3.3(a) (as set out below) from its adopted Remote Meeting Procedure Rules: 3.3 Business (a) In keeping with the rationale for holding meetings only where they are required, agendas for any such meetings required to be held shall not include any items for Questions or Motions on Notice from Councillors. As a result, provision for Questions and Motions on Notice will be reinstated with effect from the next scheduled Council Meeting to be held on 17 December 2020. 16/20 AMENDED BUDGET 2020/21 The Council considered a report that presented a draft amended Budget for 2020/21 in light of the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. In the ensuing debate, particular reference was made to:- (a) the work undertaken by the Section 151 Officer. A number of Members wished to thank the Section 151 Officer and her finance team for their hard work in preparing this draft amended Budget; (b) an amendment to the motion. An amendment was PROPOSED and SECONDED that read as follows: That Part 1 of the recommendation be revised as follows: Page 2 ‘That the first four options as set out in Section 5.2 of the presented agenda report (totalling £433,000) be approved and a sum of £880,000 be taken from the Unearmarked Reserve (making a total of £1,313,000) in order to produce an Amended Revenue Budget for 2020-21.’ In expressing their support for the amendment, some Members were of the view that it would be more appropriate (bearing in mind that the COVID-19 pandemic was considered to be an Emergency) for Unearmarked Reserves to be used in order to balance the Revenue Budget for 2020-21.

The site is located in an unsustainable location in the open countryside away from settlements and is contrary to the promotion of sustainable development via the NPPF and the strategic approach in the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan, contained in Policies SPT1, SPT2 and TTV1. Its open countryside location also fails to meet policy TTV26, which seeks to restrict development to that which is essential in a rural location.
