Westview Farm, Road From Kelland Corner To Two Crosses, Dunsford, Devon, EX6 7AY

the erection of 4 dwellinghouses in the place of approved 5 units from Class Q application

Authority: Teignbridge District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Spencer-Peet A

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
Whether or not adequate arrangements are made for the disposal of surface water from the site
The effect of the proposed development with regard to carbon emissions

What decided it

The appeal proposal would be more harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding area than the fallback Class Q conversion scheme, and this harm could not be justified by material considerations of sufficient weight to warrant a decision contrary to the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S2, Policy S22, Policy EN2A, Policy EN4, Policy EN3, Policy S7

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
