At the TDC planning committee held on 8th April, Councillors voted against the advice of Officers and refused consent for 4 houses at Highfield, Picket Head Hill, Shaldon. Officers recommended approval because of the "presumption in favour" clause in the new National Planning Policy Framework but Councillors considered that planning policies to protect the undeveloped coast carried greater weight and voted to refuse the application.
Later in the same meeting, councillors approved the development of 133 houses at Buckland Barton. This site is next to the Animal Sanctuary and will overlook the estuary.
Councillors voted three times before accepting the proposal. The first vote to approve the application was rejected by 9 votes to 8 with one abstention. After intervention from the Officers and the Leader of the Council, a second vote to refuse the application on specific grounds was lost by 8 votes to 9 with one abstention. This was immediately followed by a final vote to approve the application, which was won by 9 votes to 8 with one abstention.
This site was included in the draft local plan but was subject to a lage number of objections. These were due to be heard by the Inspector when he examines the plan, which has not yet been submitted. Granting planning consent at this time has rendered meaningless the whole democratic process of objection since the Inspector will now have no option but to accept a fait acomplis.
There is more about this on this on the Residents Association current issues page.
