Minutes:

The Committee considered the reports of the Business Manager – Strategic

Place Development Management together with comments of public speakers, additional information reported by the officers and information detailed in the late representations updates document previously circulated.

 

Public Speaker, Objector- Spoke on the access via the private drive, questions regarding tourist interest in the site, the condition of the road and its accessibility to emergency vehicles, the history of the garden, lack of need for the holiday house due to a nearby property for sale that would fit the same purpose, no public access to the garden, the detrimental effects to the road due to the increase in usage, and the refusal of similar applications.

 

Public Speaker, Supporter- Spoke on the agreement that all revenue gained by the use of the accommodation that would go towards upkeep of the garden, they have permission to use both private roads, refusal would result in the loss of heritage lottery funds, the split between the garden and coach house increasing traffic, only 3 properties share the private road

 

Comments from Councillors included: The heritage lottery fund will help with restoring the garden, Devon County Council has confirmed there will be minimal impact on the road, concerns over the poor quality and narrowness of the road with only one passing bay, whether or not there had been a bat mitigation plan, inclusion of a Section 106 agreement, no planned public access to the garden, if funds could be secured to improve the surface of the road and the site should be more accessible.

 

In response to comments from Councillors, the Business Manager clarified that there would be a Section 106 agreement which would secure the funds to be invested in the garden, all 3 properties have right of access to the road which is a civil matter and cannot be controlled by a condition, and a construction management plan would be included in the conditions.
