Planning Application No. 14/1090/02 - Tithebarn Green, Monkerton, Exeter PDF 194 KB To consider the report of the Assistant Director City Development.
Minutes: The Principal Project Manager (Development) presented the application for 350 dwellings (approval of reserved matters for appearance, landscaping, layout and scale, Ref No 12/0802/01 granted 29 November 2013). He confirmed that revised plans had been received that satisfactorily addressed the outstanding concerns over wheelchair accessible dwellings and that the recommendation was now to approve. Condition one would be amended to include revised plans.
He referred to an email from Grace Carleton stating that “the section in the south east of the site is located in the Monkerton Ridge Park area and is part of the picturesque ridge. This area should be kept as green as possible with planting of plants and trees. It is understood that this will be addressed later as it does not form part of this application. It is also understood that the master-plan states that development in this section should be sensitive to the ridge. The NPPF also stated that development should not affect important landscapes.”
Members were circulated with an update sheet - attached to minutes.
Mrs Foster spoke against the application. She circulated photographs showing flooding of her garden and raised the following points:-
· severe concerns about potential for flooding in the area generally and specifically at my property as a result of the development; · there are few trees and poor hedgerows near my house with brambles etc. often cut back by Network Rail and their absence exacerbates the flooding problems as there is insufficient vegetation to absorb the water; · the culvert passing through the garden has flooded in the past (as shown by circulated photographs) as it links to the poorly drained adjacent fields. It runs under the railway line; · the additional concreting over of open space and provision of hard-standings will increase the likelihood of flooding in the future; · have written to Linden Homes but no response has been received; · ask that no approval be granted until reassurances obtained on the planting of additional trees and hedgerows, special drainage arrangements and the integration of the culvert with the attenuation pond.
Mr Jewson spoke in support of the application. He raised the following points:-
