Seascape Second Drive Teignmouth East Teignmouth TQ14 8TL

1. 1.Impact on street scene: The proposed replacement of the approved natural stone finish with slate hanging to the north (principal roadside) elevation, including the wrap-around onto the east and west elevations, would materially alter the appearance and visual character of the approved development. The approved use of natural stone formed an important part of the accepted design approach, reflecting the traditional materials and character of the surrounding street scene. The proposed slate hanging would introduce a noticeably different material treatment to the principal elevation which is not considered to be characteristic of the immediate locality and would result in a materially different appearance to that previously approved. The amendment would therefore represent a noticeable change to the approved development rather than a minor alteration. As such, the proposed changes cannot reasonably be regarded as a non-material amendment under Section 96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. ADVICE ON PURSUING THE REFUSED AMENDMENTS The proposed amendments have been refused as the Local Planning Authority considers that the changes would materially alter the appearance of the approved development, particularly the principal roadside elevation, and would result in a noticeably different appearance within the street scene. The proposed slate hanging is not considered to reflect the prevailing material character of the immediate locality and therefore cannot be considered under the non-material amendment provisions of Section 96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Should the applicant wish to pursue the proposed changes, a further application for planning permission would be required. Alternatively, a simple render finish may be more acceptable. Please submit clear drawings and the correct fee with your completed application form.
