The Planning Committee urges Devon County Council to refuse the planning application for a Sand and Gravel Quarry at Straitgate Farm this was unanimous: 1. DEVON MINERALS LOCAL PLAN The application is contrary to the Devon Minerals Local Plan (DMLP): Mayor’s initials …………………….. -12- 1a the application site is not included in the DMLP 1b to approve the application, and approve processing at Blackhill of material quarried at Straitgate, would delay restoration at Blackhill by at least five years with adverse biodiversity impacts; this would be contrary to the DMLP, and contrary to government guidance, which states that restoration should take place as soon as possible. 2. LACK OF NEED 2.1 There is no need for a new sand and gravel quarry at Straitgate. Devon is required to provide a seven year landbank for land won sand and gravel. Permitted reserves of sand and gravel at the end of 2013 were 8.5 million tones. Average sales for the period 2009 to 2013 were 471,000 tonnes per annum. The Devon sand and gravel reserves of 8.5 million tonnes means that the reserves would last for 18 years. 2.2 There has been declining use of sand and gravel for many years. It is very unlikely that demand would increase more than marginally because of increased use of secondary and recycled aggregates. In the unlikely event of increased demand necessitating additional supply it is much more sensible and less environmentally damaging to extend existing quarries near Uffculme, than to create a new quarry on good quality agricultural land with considerable other adverse impacts at Straitgate. Particular concerns about a quarry at Straitgate include: 3. LISTED BUILDING 3.1 Straitgate farmhouse is Grade II Listed. A quarry would have adverse impacts on the setting of the Listed Building. 3.2 Cadhay House is Grade I Listed. The medieval fishponds at Cadhay are supplied with water emanating from Straitgate. Any disturbance to the water flow would have a detrimental effect on this very important feature at Cadhay. 4. LOSS OF AGRICULTURAL LAND Loss of grade 3a 'best and most versatile' agricultural land. 5. ADVERSE VISUAL IMPACT There would be a serious adverse visual impact from Ottery St Mary one and a half miles to the east, and from the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty three miles to the east, 800 feet above the Otter Valley. 6. NOISE AND DUST There would be a noise and dust nuisance for nearby residents. 7. LORRY NUISANCE AND DANGERS Mayor’s initials …………………….. -13- 7.1 There would be a serious lorry nuisance for local people. There would be a particular problem along the seriously inadequate B3180 road, with especial concerns about a large number of bulky and slow moving lorries crossing the A3052 road at Halfway House. 7.2 Transporting minerals from Straitgate to Blackhill for processing would be contrary to government guidance and DMLP policies to minimise the distances that minerals are transported by road. 8. BIRD STRIKE 8.1 Exeter Airport has long been concerned about a proposed quarry at Straitgate, which would be 6k from Exeter Airport, 90 seconds flying time from the airport, and directly under the flight path at a point where aeroplanes are flying at a height 200 metres. 8.2 A quarry inevitably creates a void which fills with water and attracts birds. Landing and take-off are the most dangerous aspects of flying. It would be totally unacceptable to create such a hazard in such a location. 8.3 The number of passengers and flights using Exeter Airport is projected to increase substantially in the next few years. More flights would result in greater danger for even more people. 9. FLOOD RISK 9.1 A major concern is that quarrying at Straitgate would increase flood risk. There is a history of serious flooding to the west of the River Otter. In October 2008 there was a major flood event in the Otter Valley. There are 4 streams which originate from Straitgate Farm, and all of them caused very serious and very substantial flood damage in October 2008: 9.2 A watercourse which flows south under the Exeter Road in the vicinity of Pitfield Farm, then swings east crossing Toadpit Lane, then continues in an easterly direction to the north of West Hill Road, crosses West Hill Road to the east of Foxenholes, and then runs to the north of Salston Ride on its way to the River Otter. In October 2008 this watercourse caused severe damage at Toadpit Lane, Foxenholes, and Salston Ride. 9.3 The Thorne Farm Stream which flooded something like 50 properties on the Thorne Farm estate, with many cars destroyed and many people having such extensive property damage that they were forced to leave their homes and not return for six months. 9.4 A watercourse which flows downhill in an easterly direction and crosses Cadhay Lane passing to the north of Cadhay House. After the October 2008 event, the owner of Cadhay House had to entirely rebuild his entrance road which had been completely destroyed. 9.5 A watercourse flowing downhill and eastwards to Coombelake where it joins the River Tale. This watercourse caused substantial property damage in October 2008. Mayor’s initials …………………….. -14- 10. WATER TABLE DISTURBANCE 10.1 The proposal is for no mining below the water table. However the water table is variable, with considerable difference of water levels at different times of the year. There is real concern about the possible disturbance of the water table, and the possible contamination resulting from incidents such as diesel spills. 10.2 A large number of properties in the vicinity of, and to the east of, Straitgate obtain their drinking water from sources originating from Straitgate. It is imperative that in the event of mineral extraction at Straitgate taking place, there should be an absolute certainty that an ample supply of good quality drinking water would be maintained. I am far from convinced that this can be guaranteed. 11. CADHAY BOG Cadhay Bog is ancient woodland. There is a rapidly diminishing and very limited amount of ancient woodland in the UK. Cadhay Bog is dependent on a regular steady flow of water throughout the year. There is concern that extraction of minerals from Straitgate would result in periods when the flow of water is excessive, and also periods when the flow of water would dry up.

Part of the application site lies within an area allocated for Community and Educational Uses under Strategy 24 of the Local Plan. However, what is proposed in the application departs substantially from the allocation in that it seeks to build houses on this, and adjoining land, and to construct a primary school on adjacent land further to the west of the allocation.

  • Councillor Geoff Pratt Independent East Devon District Councillor Ottery St
    Councillor Geoff Pratt Independent East Devon District Councillor Ottery St. Mary Ward The Planning Application by Devon County Council (DCC) to relocate Tipton Primary School to Ottery St. Mary coupled with the building of 150 houses was heard by the EDDC Planning Committee on the 6th January 2021. The proposed development was located in the countryside outside of any built-up Area Boundary with no planning policy support for residential development in this location. The resulting harm created by the urban sprawl of 150 houses built in open countryside on a prominent site that could be viewed from many areas in and surrounding Ottery and the dangerous highway conditions that would arise in Cadhay Lane were also considered by the Committee to be relevant issues which outweighed any benefits contained in the application. The Planning Authority held that the application was in breach of Strategies 7, Strategy 24 (Development at Ottery St Mary development in the Countryside), Strategy46 ( Landscape Conservation and Enhancement) and Policy D1 of the Local Plan and Policies NP 1( Development in the Countryside) and NP25 (land Identified for Educational Uses in Ottery St Mary) I made the proposal to refuse the application which was seconded by Cllr Philip Skinner The planning committee refused the application by 11 votes to 2 with 2 abstentions. This decision opens the opportunity to reconsider either rebuilding on the existing school site or on an alternative site in or near the village. The flooding problem on the exisiting lower school site (caused by the Metcombe Brook) appears to have be grossly overstated.
