Authority: South Hams

Procedure: Hearing
Development: leisure-sport
Postcode: TQ5 0EH

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether a need for the development within a countryside and coastal location has been demonstrated
whether the location of the site is suitable for the development having regard to access by sustainable or active transport modes
the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including the SDNL, the Undeveloped Coast, tranquillity and dark landscapes

What decided it

The Inspector concluded that the café served a demonstrable functional need connected to the water-dependent boatyard and marina use and caused no material harm to the SDNL, tranquillity or dark landscapes, so the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.

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.
