Resolved

Permission be refused for the following reasons:

1. The proposed development would constitute the provision of open market housing within the open countryside which is contrary to Policy S22. Whilst an element of affordable housing is proposed, the application is not accompanied by a viability assessment which evidences the requirement for the open market housing to cross subsidise the delivery of affordable homes on a rural exception site. The application is therefore contrary to Policies S21, S22 and WE5 of the Teignbridge Local Plan.

2. Insufficient information has been supplied to demonstrate that the proposal would not have a harmful impact on protected species contrary to policies EN8 (Biodiversity, Protection and Enhancement) and EN10 (European Wildlife Sites) of the Teignbridge Local Plan.

Consideration was given to the agenda report which provided an update on the consultation results on the draft policy. During Committee discussion concern was expressed that: there were a variety of vehicle plug-in designs and it was considered that Government policy should seek a standardised plug in system for electric vehicles; rural area would miss out on electric plug-in locations; and the resources involve in making and disposing of car batteries, and the charging of batteries.

The Portfolio Holder for Waste Management and Environmental Health advised that car manufacturers were pursuing the electric vehicle option for the future, and he understood research was looking into the reuse of second hand electric car batteries.

RECOMMENDED

The Executive be advised that the Committee recommends approval of the Electric Vehicles, Infrastructure and Ultra Low Emission Vehicle Policy.
