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. There are also a number of other large developments that have received consent especially in the Broadclyst parish which will also require your consideration. We presume that the Commission will not wish to review county divisional boundaries every 5 years or so to accommodate this rapid growth and therefore our views are offered to provide some permanence to the new boundaries especially in the rural hinterland of which our parish is becoming a part. The residents of Rockbeare fought a long yet losing battle against the Cranbrook “Growth Point” proposals in the early years of this century but in recent times have sought to ensure that the emerging new community is well planned in collaboration with EDDC. However that does not mean that they wish to be subsumed into the new community and become a very small voice in its governance. They would be strongly opposed to such a move. Accordingly we wish our current parish to join with our neighbouring parishes to the west and south of us in any new electoral divisions that the Commission may propose. We recognise that such a review will have an impact on the wards for EDDC but assume that given the pace of change in this area that this is something which the Commission will address as part of its review or invite the appropriate authority to consider. We have also presumed that the Commission will not seek to split existing parishes (assuming such a move to be within its remit). However were that to be considered for Rockbeare Parish, we would wish to be consulted over any new redrawing of our boundary. Yours faithfully David Mason Chairman, Rockbeare Parish Council .

    Ward Whimple And Rockbeare Reference 19/1606/FUL Applicant Mr N Readfern (Whimbrel Homes Ltd) Location The Elms London Road Whimple Exeter EX5 2PH 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. 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.

Introduction 1.1. Purpose of this Statement 1.1.1. This statement has been prepared to answer question 1 in relation to matter 9, issue 2 (Site Allocations: all) and question 1 in relation to matter 9, proposal 7.22 (2) (Warren Rd, Mary Tavy) for the Dartmoor Local Plan Review 2018-2036 Examination. These questions are: • Are the site allocations appropriate and justified in light of potential constraints, infrastructure requirements and adverse impacts? Are the sites viable and deliverable? • In light of the acknowledged lack of funding for a school on this site, would the site be likely to be developed within the Plan period and if not would its safeguarding be justified? 1.1.2. It should be noted that this statement does not cover all of the questions raised by the Planning Inspector in relation to matter 9 but focuses upon those issues in which Devon County Council (DCC) has a specific interest in order to fulfil its statutory responsibilities (i.e. as the Education Authority). 2. Are the site allocations appropriate and justified in lights of potential constraints, infrastructure requirements and adverse impacts? Are the sites viable and deliverable? 2.1.1. The site proposals in Ashburton (proposal 7.3 and 7.4) would allocate housing in an area where the local primary school has no capacity for the additional pupils generated by the developments.

  • Devon County Council Senior Council for Devon
    • Other things we think would help in other developments: - a longer timescale - the two year target was testing for all parties; - clarity and a higher national profile about national expectations of the model to be adopted; - older people did not recognise ‘Better Government for Older People’; - a wider range of older people can in theory be involved through organisations they choose to be members of, and there are disadvantages in trying to establish a new Devon County membership organisation, but it is difficult to marry individual and group membership in the same organisation. The Government’s citizen involvement agenda requires individual involvement; a resolution is needed over a period of experience. Council • Tendering (a legal requirement) and a contractual approach makes a difference to this type of work. • The tender was won by an independent consultancy from elsewhere in the County (Peter Fletcher Associates - PFA). We picked up traces of local resentment on the part of some voluntary sector interests which may have inhibited the development of the SCfD in certain areas. LinkAge Plus • We have gained much from the undoubted expertise of the contractors. However, we feel that separating expertise from development within the tendering process could have given greater value. • AGILE were given the status of co-commissioners of this work. We would recommend this. However, the development was a complex process which some older people who were involved found confusing, and in some cases there was a sense of loss as more older people became involved and distress when processes seemed beyond their control and the differences between the existing model of engagement and the new one Senior Council for became apparent.
