PA23/02089
Mr Dean Scantlebury D S Developments (SW) Ltd – Land Adjoining Duck Lane Trematon Saltash PL12 4RT
Application for Rural Exception Site comprising of four detached open market bungalows (1 x 4-bed with double garage, 3 x 3-bed with integral garage) and two detached affordable bungalows (2 x 3-bed, 1 x social rent and 1 x shared ownership) and two semi-detached bungalows (2 x 2-bed, 2 x social rent) along with parking spaces, access road, landscaping and open space area (re-submission of withdrawn Application No. PA22/07188).
Ward: Trematon
Date received: 23/03/23
Response date: 21/04/23
It was proposed by Councillor Miller, seconded by Councillor P Samuels and resolved to RECOMMEND REFUSAL due to:
1. STC should not be considering rural exception sites as the Town Council is an urban council.
2. Doesn’t meet criteria of Rural Exception Site including aspects such as:
· Market sales within Rural Exception Sites are to enable the site to be viable, but here it seems to be the major reason for the development in finance terms.
· The valuations used in the proposal are about ten times the accepted values expected for Rural Exception Sites
· Several justifications mentioned in the application which are not supported by evidence.
· Not a good mix of affordable sizes. The affordable properties are smaller in nature, so therefore the development is not being led by a need for affordable housing.
· The need for housing in this locality has not been demonstrated by the local community.
· Defined as community led and councils and social housing association.
3. Other matters of concern:
· Drainage issues – sewage/water.
· Transport issues.
· Highway issues: traffic generation, vehicular access, highway safety.
· Layout and density of building design, visual appearance.
· Noise and disturbance resulting from use.
· Overlooking and loss of privacy.
· Local Planning Policy and policies in the Development Plan.
· Adverse impact on nature conservation interests & biodiversity opportunities.
· Effect on trees.
· Effect on listed buildings.
It was proposed by Councillor B Samuels, seconded by Councillor Foster and RESOLVED to reinstate Standing Orders 2(f) and 2(g).
