Report of the Chief Planner (CET/22/78)

 

Electoral Division:  Chulmleigh & Landkey

 

Additional documents:

Decision:

It was MOVED by Councillor J Brook and SECONDED by Councillor J Yabsley and RESOLVED that:

 

(a) a non-immediate Article 41 direction be made, subject to any intervention from the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, covering the area shown in red in Appendix I to remove the following permitted development rights within Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended): (i) Class C - mineral working for agricultural purposes, of Part 6 Agricultural and forestry

 

(b) The Chief Planner be authorised to make any minor amendments necessary to the direction that do not alter the main purpose, in consultation with the Chair and Local Member.

Minutes:

(Councillor P Henderson attended in accordance with Standing Order 25 (2) (b) and spoke in favour to the application).

 

The Committee considered the report of the Chief Planner (CET/22/78) which recommended making a non-immediate Article 4 direction to remove the permitted development rights associated with mineral extraction for agricultural purposes in the area known as Codden Hill, southeast of the village of Bishop’s Tawton.

 

The Chief Planner’s Report gave a reasoned assessment of the proposal, referring to all relevant policies and summarising the comments and views of interested parties received prior to the meeting.

 

It was explained that an Article 4 direction would result in the withdrawal of permitted development rights, meaning that deemed planning permission is no longer granted automatically by the GPDO and that a planning application would need to be made to the mineral planning authority.

 

Member discussions and questions to the Officers included points arising from the issues raised by the Speakers related to detrimental effect on residents living in that area, risk of legal action, the continuation of current operations, and confirmation that removal of permitted development rights would ensure that any future proposals for quarrying require planning consent.

 

The matter having been debated and having regard to the main material planning policies and requirements,

 

It was MOVED by Councillor J Brook and SECONDED by Councillor J Yabsley and RESOLVED that:

 

(a) a non-immediate Article 41 direction be made, subject to any intervention from the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, covering the area shown in red in Appendix I to remove the following permitted development rights within Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended): (i) Class C - mineral working for agricultural purposes, of Part 6 Agricultural and forestry

 

(b) The Chief Planner be authorised to make any minor amendments necessary to the direction that do not alter the main purpose, in consultation with the Chair and Local Member.
