Why it was refused
- The application site as outlined in red on the submitted Site Location Plan (Reference: 2508 2 SK 01 00) has an existing land use as woodland which is covered by a Woodland Tree Preservation Order (Reference: TPO1086 W1). The proposed development of two dwellings on the site would cause permanent and irreversible harm to the protected trees. As such the proposed residential use would be incompatible with the Woodland Tree Preservation Order and the proposal is contrary to the provisions of Policy DEV28 of the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan 2014-2034 and Paragraph 136 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2024).
- In the absence of a completed and signed Unilateral Undertaking to secure a scheme of mitigation to manage the additional recreational pressures upon the Plymouth South and Estuaries European Marine Site (comprising the Plymouth South and Estuaries SAC and the Tamar Estuaries Complex SPA), the proposal is contrary to Policies SPT12, SPT14, DEV26 and DEL1 of the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan 2014-2034; and the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan Supplementary Planning Document.
