Authority: South Hams District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: leisure-sport · Other minor developments
Inspector: Wyborn D
Postcode: TQ6 9RN

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the location within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB)
whether or not the development plan would support the proposed car park in this location, having regard to the location within the countryside and Undeveloped Coast

What decided it

The sensitive design of the car park with appropriate landscaping and retaining walls would integrate satisfactorily into the landscape and AONB, and the demonstrable local parking need for residents in the surrounding area justified the location within the Undeveloped Coast.

The modest visual change and landscape impact of the car park, when sensitively designed and landscaped, was outweighed by the benefit of meeting a demonstrable local parking need for residents in the surrounding streets with limited off-road parking provision.
