Pumps Acre, Greenhill Lane, Denbury, Devon, TQ12 6DN

outline application for the demolition of the existing holiday chalet and the construction of up to three residential dwellings, with all matters reserved except for vehicular access

Authority: Teignbridge District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Nicholls H

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the location of the development accords with the development plan
Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Denbury Conservation Area

What decided it

The public benefit of delivering three dwellings as a contribution to the housing stock, combined with the considerable weight attributable to the emerging Local Plan policies which support development within the extended settlement boundary, outweighs the less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the conflict with the current development plan.

Framework references: 49, 215

Plan policies cited: Policy S21, Policy S22, Policy EN5, Policy GP3, Policy V7

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.
