The Planning Committee of Teignbridge Council convened on Tuesday 11 June 2024 to discuss several significant planning applications and enforcement actions. Key decisions included the approval of a change of use for Higher Mead Farm, the deferral of a decision on the Red Lion Inn pending a site visit, the approval of a loft conversion at Sea Lawn Terrace, and the issuance of an enforcement notice for unauthorised residential use at Chardonnay, Woodland.
Higher Mead Farm
The committee approved the application for the change of use of land at Higher Mead Farm in Ashburton to allow the siting of eight static caravans for holiday use, including associated staff accommodation. The application was retrospective, as the caravans were already on site. Councillor David Cox moved to approve the application, noting that it would not have been brought before the committee if not for the applicant's status as a councillor. The motion was seconded by Councillor McGregor and passed unanimously.
Red Lion Inn
The committee deferred the decision on the application for the change of use and conversion of the Red Lion Inn in Tedburn St Mary into four houses, pending a site visit. The application included the demolition of single-storey extensions and the retention of an EV charging facility. Concerns were raised about the impact on the village's social infrastructure and pedestrian safety. Councillor Sanders proposed the site visit, which was seconded by Councillor Taylor and approved by the committee.
Sea Lawn Terrace
The committee approved the application for a loft conversion at Flat 3, Sea Lawn Terrace in Dawlish. The conversion includes the installation of a rear dormer and retractable balconies. Despite concerns about the visual impact and potential precedent for future developments, the committee voted in favour of the application. Councillor McGregor moved to approve the application, seconded by Councillor Taylor, and the motion passed.
Enforcement at Chardonnay, Woodland
The committee authorised the issuance of an enforcement notice for the unauthorised siting of a residential mobile home at Chardonnay, Woodland. The site had a history of non-compliance with previous enforcement notices. The enforcement action aims to address the unauthorised residential use and ensure compliance with planning regulations. Councillor Nutley proposed the enforcement action, seconded by Councillor Sanders, and the motion was approved.
