Mr. David Watters (Chair of Downderry & Seaton Residents Association) also spoke in objection to this application, reiterating the reason of overdevelopment (increase from one idwelling to two on the site); stating that the proposal was contrary to the results of the recent Parish Neighbourhood Plan survey in terms of meeting local housing needs; raising concerns regarding the closeness of the development to the cliff edge and highlighting probable disruption to use of the beach and Brenton Road during the construction process. The owner of a property adjacent to the development site also expressed objections to the application including reasons of overdevelopment; proposed roof heights; overlooking; the scale of excavations required with possible land slippage and the probable increase in traffic with proposed parking for six vehicles. The applicant had not consulted neighbours regarding the development. The Architect for the application stated that the issue of construction traffic for the development was not relevant to the granting of planning permission; that the John Grimes Partnership had been employed to provide a report on the issue of cliff stability and this did not highlight any concerns; there had been no suggestion that the beach would be closed because of construction works and that an M.M.O. licence would cover proposed works on the beach.
