Application No.: 4097/16/OPA Date Received: 21 December 2016
Proposal: READVERTISEMENT (Amendments to detail of proposed new access and road
layout) Outline application with some matters reserved for residential development of circa 8 dwellings, open space and associated infrastructure with all matters reserved except for means of access (and associated off-site highway works)
Location: Proposed Development Site At Sx 663 471, St Anns Chapel, Bigbury, Devon
Dated 11th July 2017:- The South Hams District Council hereby REFUSE permission to carry out the development – described above for the following reason(s):
1. The proposed development is likely to generate an increase in pedestrian traffic on
highways lacking adequate footways and also lacking adequate visibility at the junction
of the C252 and the B3392 with consequent additional danger to all users of the road
contrary to paragraph 32 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy DP7 of the
South Hams Local Development Framework and Policy DEV 31 of the emerging
Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan.
2. Having regard to the new road access points, the provision of a new relocated and
wider highway and the resulting loss of Devon Hedgebanks, the proposal will fail to
conserve the landscape and scenic beauty in this part of the South Devon Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty contrary to paragraph 115 of the NPPF, Policies CS9 and
DP2 of the South Hams Local Development Framework and Policies SPT11, DEV24
and DEV27 of the emerging Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan.
