1 Introduction
1.1
This document deals with allocating sites for development in the rural areas of the
South Hams to 2016 and beyond. It is part of a growing portfolio of planning documents
which together are called the South Hams Local Development Framework (LDF). The
aim of the LDF system is to enable sustainable development which supports the
present and future needs of local communities. Local planning authorities are required
to produce a LDF for their area.

Plan Preparation 2
2 Plan Preparation
2.1
The Rural Areas Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) forms part of
the South Hams (LDF). The South Hams LDF is a portfolio of documents which together
with the South West Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) will deliver the future planning
strategy for the South Hams.
2.2
South Hams District Council has produced a number of LDF documents, some of
which are already adopted, including the Core Strategy (adopted 2006) and the
Affordable Housing DPD (adopted 2008). All South Hams planning documents can
be found on the Council’s website www.southhams.gov.uk or can be obtained from
the Council offices at Follaton House, Totnes.
2.3
The LDF portfolio will in time replace the adopted Local Plan. Meanwhile, certain Local
Plan polices are saved and still carry weight in the determination of planning
applications. A list of saved policies is available on the Council’s website. This DPD
will replace saved policy KP12: Chillington from the Local Plan.
2.4
The preparation of this DPD has been informed by a process of on-going evidence
gathering and community engagement, including:
Devon and South Hams Sustainable Community Strategies;
Other strategies, such as those for Housing, Prosperity and Public Space;
LDF Site Options Consultation (May/June 2009) facilitated by the Prince’s
Foundation for the Built Environment and additional consultation (January/February
2010);
Rural Areas Issues and Options (July 2007)
LDF “Town and Village” Issues and Options (October 2004);
Other LDF related consultations (Core Strategy, Affordable Housing DPD, etc);
Various evidence base reports, particularly:
Strategic Housing Market Assessment;
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment;
Sustainability Appraisal (incorporating the requirements of Strategic
Environmental Assessment);
Habitats Regulation Assessment;
Sustainability Threshold Assessment;
Strategic Infrastructure Delivery Programming;
Design Review Assessment;
Employment Land Review;
Strategic Flood Risk Assessment;
Landscape Character Assessment;
Air Quality Management Areas;
Community plans;
Local Housing Needs Surveys.

2 Plan Preparation
2.5
This DPD has now reached Publication stage and is subject to a statutory consultation.
It is programmed to be submitted to the Secretary of State in summer 2010, with
Examination by a planning inspector anticipated towards the end of 2010 and Adoption
in 2011.
Planning Context
2.6
The Rural Areas DPD focuses on the allocation of sites to accommodate the
requirements of the adopted Core Strategy, the overarching document in the South
Hams LDF. The Core Strategy requires approximately 600 dwellings (including about
50 dwellings in each of the four local centres) and 3 hectares of employment land to
help meet the needs of the rural areas up to 2016. The DPD also provide for
development requirements to beyond 2016 as broadly set out in the Regional Spatial
Strategy (RSS). The RSS is not yet adopted, but indications are that it will require at
least the same rate of development across the district in the future.
2.7
Looking beyond 2016 will help to ensure an adequate supply of development sites
and associated infrastructure for the next 15 years and more. Monitoring of the plan’s
implementation and new evidence gathered will guide a future review of the Core
Strategy in order to add clarity to the longer term spatial strategy for the district.
2.8
The proposals in this document, policies in other LDF documents and national and
regional policies and guidance must be read alongside each other. For example, the
development proposals should reflect and contribute towards other policies in the
development plan, such as promoting high quality design, enabling 50% of new housing
to be provided on previously developed land and providing infrastructure in phase with
development, or providing affordable housing consistent with strategic targets set out
in the Affordable Housing DPD. The adopted affordable housing target for the local
centres is 55% and for the villages 60%.
The Purpose of this Document
2.9
The aim of the DPD is to deliver sustainable development that vigorously addresses
local priorities. It will meet all of the Council’s corporate priorities, particularly to:
Secure a supply of housing for local people at affordable levels;
Create the conditions for the growth and maintenance of quality economic activity;
and
Maintain the district’s distinctive environment whilst enabling access and sensitive
development.
2.10 The DPD deals only with the allocation of sites. In practice this means proposing land
for homes, employment, mixed uses, commercial development, community uses, or
other essential infrastructure requiring a site to be allocated. It does not contain policies
6
Plan Preparation 2
or proposals that deal with other planning policy matters such as designation of a town
centre zone, changes to the local policy areas or changes to the town’s development
boundary.
2.11 Sites proposed for development in this DPD are shown on the Proposals Map. This
can be viewed on line at the Council's website www.southhams.gov.uk. The site
proposals are also shown in map form as part of this document.

Site Selection Process 3
3 Site Selection Process
3.1
The Council aims to find the right sites in the right places for the right reasons. To
guide the process four key strands of evidence have been gathered, each involving a
range of stakeholders and community organisations and have assessed all reasonable
options:
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment – assesses whether sites are
available for development and, if so, over what timescale;
Sustainability Threshold Assessment – looks at the suitability of sites based on
sustainability criteria;
Design Review Assessment – considers how individual sites could contribute to
place-making;
Strategic Infrastructure Delivery – assesses what infrastructure is required, where
and when.
3.2
The diagram below shows how these four assessments have all informed the site
allocation DPDs and brief outlines of each are provided below. Other principal pieces
of evidence are also briefly described.

3 Site Selection Process
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)
3.3
SHLAA is a process which is required by government in order to support housing
delivery in England. It aims to identify sites which are available for development but
does not aim to qualify their relative suitability or to allocate them for development.
That remains a task for the planning process and is the principal aim of the Site
Allocation DPDs. However, the SHLAA has helped to indicate the likelihood of sites
being considered for inclusion in the DPDs being brought forward for development,
and by when. The SHLAA process in South Hams has, in line with good practice, been
supported by a Panel involving the Council, the Environment Agency, house builders,
land agents and community representatives, with adjoining local authorities and the
regional Government Office invited as observers. The SHLAA methodology has been
developed and applied jointly by South Hams District and West Devon Borough
Councils.
Sustainability Threshold Assessment (STA)
3.4
LDF documents are required to be underpinned and informed by sustainability appraisal.
In South Hams the process has been further developed and Sustainability Threshold
Assessment (STA) has been used to support and assist in site selection. The STA
process enables sites to be judged against a set of sustainability indicators. A simple
“traffic light” system has been applied to indicate the relative sustainability of sites.
Building on the experience of the SHLAA panel, the Council has drawn together a
panel to support the STA process. That panel involved the District and County Councils,
the Environment Agency, Natural England, development industry and business and
community representatives.
Design Review Assessment
3.5
The Design Review Assessment (DRA) assessed sites on design principles. It was
undertaken by the Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment and aims to ensure
that selected sites would contribute to good place making. A set of design based
criteria were applied to the potential development site options and sites were discounted
if they did not meet the criteria.
3.6
For example, preferred sites should infill a built area or be adjacent to the town or
village, be within close walking distance of key services and facilities, be accessible
to public transport, be able to accommodate a mix of uses if necessary, integrate with
existing development patterns and positively influence settlement boundaries.
Strategic Infrastructure Delivery Group
3.7
The Council also formed a Strategic Infrastructure Delivery Group (a sub-group of the
South Hams Strategic Partnership) to assess the existing provision of infrastructure
and consider future requirements against the proposed levels of development. This
work should help to co-ordinate the delivery programmes of the key service providers
and help to identify specific requirements arising from the new development and how
10
Site Selection Process 3
this is going to be met. The Group includes South Hams District and Devon County
Councils, NHS Devon, Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, the Environment Agency
and South West Water. The group’s infrastructure delivery programme for the Rural
Areas is presented at Appendix 1.
Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA)
3.8
A Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) is required to inform the LDF documents
and provides information on areas at risk from flooding. The Council commissioned a
Level 1 SFRA to provide an overview of potential flood risk from all sources within the
South Hams which was completed in June 2007.
3.9
Subsequently, Level 2 SFRAs were commissioned to assess a number of potential
development sites in Totnes, Ivybridge, Kingsbridge and Salcombe at some risk from
flooding. These studies provide in depth information about the potential flood risks at
specific locations. They help to determine the suitability of potential land uses on
specific sites, and whether safe access and egress can be achieved.
3.10 Information derived from these studies concerning the potential flood risk and flood
mitigation of potential development sites relevant to this DPD is provided in Section
6. The SFRAs are available on the Council’s website.
Sustainability Appraisal
3.11 This DPD is accompanied by a Sustainability Appraisal report (incorporating the
requirements of Strategic Environmental Assessment) that considers the social,
environmental and economic effects of the policies and proposals in the plan. This is
to ensure sustainable development is at the heart of decisions at every stage of
plan-making and is an integral part of the process.
Habitats Regulation Assessment
3.12 The Site Allocation DPDs have been subject to an assessment relating to the Habitats
Directive. This assesses the impact proposals in the DPDs may have on the integrity
of habitats and species of European importance, known as Natura 2000 sites. The
assessment is available as part of the LDF evidence base on the Council’s website.
Options Consultation
3.13 An Options Consultation was held during May and June 2009. This presented a
substantial number of potential development site options generated from the SHLAA
and STA processes and dealing with the towns and a range of villages across the
district. The consultation included a series of Enquiry by Design (EbD) workshops
facilitated by The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment and representatives
from the local community were invited to participate. Responses received during this
consultation and the various evidence base reports have helped shape this document.
11
3 Site Selection Process
3.14 In January and February 2010 the Council carried out further consultation in several
communities where it considered that some additional work was required prior to
publication. Those communities were:
a.
Kingsbridge and West Alvington – where evidence shows that it will be difficult
to assure delivery of Core Strategy requirements for the town to 2016 and the
village may have a role to play
b.
Modbury, Salcombe, Aveton Gifford, Marldon, Stoke Fleming and Ugborough
– where development is recommended on sites not included in the June
consultation or where it is considered that the right set of proposals is not yet
fully clear
c.
Avonwick, Diptford, Ermington and West Alvington – which have come
forward as villages where sites should be proposed but which were not part of
the June consultation.
3.15 In summary, the STA process has enabled an assessment of each site to be made.
The SHLAA process has added detail regarding the likelihood that the site can be
made available and by when. The DRA work has ensured the selected development
sites follow good place making principles. The infrastructure work has ensured that
the necessary supporting infrastructure can be brought forward at the same time as
the development rather than lagging behind. Other studies, assessments and
consultations have been added to the evidence to inform site choices. Further
investigation of site availability has been particularly important, and in some cases, it
is necessary to progress less sustainable sites early in the plans so as to assure
delivery. Further details on each assessment are available on the Council’s website
www.southhams.gov.uk and form part of the LDF evidence base.

Rural Context 4
4 Rural Context
4.1
For the purposes of this document, the rural areas of the South Hams are defined as
those parts of the South Hams outside the four market towns of Dartmouth, Ivybridge,
Kingsbridge and Totnes and excluding the Plymouth fringe. These are dealt with in
separate DPDs, and the Site Allocations DPDs dealing with the four main towns are
published alongside this DPD for comment. This DPD covers the Local Centres and
villages (see section 1).
4.2
The South Hams stretches from the urban boundaries of Plymouth city in the west
across to the holiday resort of Torbay in the east, with Dartmoor National Park and
the districts of West Devon and Teignbridge providing the northern edges.
4.3
The area of some 350 square miles encompasses a countryside and coastline of
outstanding quality, with a wide range of market towns and villages, hamlets and
farms. The South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty recognises the national
importance of the coastline and estuaries. Approximately 82,000 people live in the
District, with about two-thirds living in the rural areas outside the larger towns of
Dartmouth, Ivybridge, Kingsbridge and Totnes.
4.4
On this basis the opportunities for development, extent of local housing need, availability
and sustainability of sites were investigated. Principles of good place making and
community involvement followed as described in chapter 3. Evidence and community
involvement resulted in some of the villages originally identified for consideration being
removed from the list or seeing development proposed only after 2016, whilst others
were added. The resulting distribution of development includes 17 villages and is a
planned response to sustainable development opportunities in the period to 2016 with
longer term provisions to support rural communities across the district. . Thus, the
proposed pattern and levels of development present a sustainable future for the rural
communities of the South Hams.
4.5
Core Strategy Policy CS3 (Employment Land Provision) sets out to provide about 3
ha of employment land on small sites of no more than 0.5 ha in the Local Centres and
other sustainable locations. In the Local Centres sites are allocated for mixed use
development to include housing and employment. In some of the villages there are
also opportunities to provide employment as part of a proposal where the location and
the site are suitable. In combination these proposals will meet the requirements of the
Core Strategy.
4.6
In addition to allocated development sites in this DPD, there are also other ways to
secure affordable housing for local people in the District’s villages. These are provided
for in the policies of the Affordable Housing DPD and include Rural Exception Sites.
Thus there may be other opportunities to address the need for affordable homes in
villages which do not feature in this DPD.
13
4 Rural Context
Key Issues and Challenges
4.7
Key issues for the Rural Areas, documented in a number of sources including parish
plans, include:
Remoteness and accessibility;
Local distinctiveness and strong sense of place; and
Social inclusion and affordable housing.
4.8
Enquiry by Design workshops were held in various rural settlements across the District
(June 2009) facilitated by the Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment as part of
their Design Review Assessment referred to in chapter 3. Issues raised at these
workshops included:
resist coalescence with nearby settlements;
limited infill sites with greater number of greenfield sites;
limited growth to retain character of settlement with well defined boundaries;
affordable homes for local people;
local jobs;
support for local services and facilities;
traffic problems and limited public transport; and
topographical and other natural constraints (including flooding)
4.9
These issues have been a particular influence in the process of considering which
sites are selected for future development.
4.10 This DPD will seek to address some of these issues through the allocation of sites to
help meet the future needs and aspirations of the Rural Areas in the South Hams.
14
Vision and Objectives 5
5 Vision and Objectives
The Vision
5.1
The Core Strategy contains a vision for the LDF which reflects the priorities of the
South Hams Sustainable Community Strategy.
The Vision for the South Hams LDF
Meeting communities' needs locally;
Securing sustainable development;
Protecting the regeneration of market towns and villages and rural diversification;
Prioritising developments for affordable homes and new jobs;
Protecting and enhancing the area's precious environmental heritage.
5.2
Increasing importance must also be given to:
Adapting to and mitigating the challenges of climate change.
5.3
It is important to establish a vision for the Rural Areas as part of the Site Allocations
DPDs. It should add a local dimension to the Core Strategy vision. The vision for the
Rural Areas aims to meet the aspirations and needs of the local community, as set
out in a number of local community documents and strategies.
5.4
The vision for the rural areas is as follows:
The Vision for the rural areas
Sustainable rural communities whose development:
Provides affordable homes for local people;
Provides good local job opportunities;
Enhances rural character and local distinctiveness; and
Supports accessible rural services;
5.5
Achievement of the vision will require close working and cooperation with key
organisations and agencies that cover the District. New development will be expected
to deliver essential affordable housing, employment opportunities and contribute
towards the provision of local community facilities that will help achieve the vision set
out above.
15
5 Vision and Objectives
Objectives
5.6
The vision for the Core Strategy is underpinned by a range of strategic objectives.
This DPD, whilst showing consistency with these objectives, needs to develop local
objectives that are specifically geared to the Rural Areas.
5.7
The objectives for the Rural Areas are to:
RAO1: Provide housing to meet the needs of the rural communities, particularly including
the provision of affordable homes;
RAO2: Provide opportunities for good jobs in employment schemes which support
economic diversification in the rural areas;
RAO3: Provide development that supports the role of the local centres and improves
the self sufficiency of the smaller towns and villages;
RAO4: Locate development to help reduce the need to travel and on sites well located
to the settlement pattern;
RAO5: Conserve and enhance the special character and local distinctiveness of the
natural and built environment in the rural areas;
RAO6: Achieve an appropriate scale and form of development that meets local
challenges, responds positively to opportunities and is based on evidence of local needs
and aspirations, including community facilities and green infrastructure.
16
Development Proposals 6
6 Development Proposals
6.1
This section sets out proposals for those sites allocated to meet the development
requirements of the Rural Areas to 2016 and beyond. The decision on which sites to
allocate is informed by the evidence base, community consultation and the various
assessments referred to earlier. The site allocations are deemed the most sustainable,
available, deliverable and able to contribute to good place making.
6.2
The Council has undertaken a thorough assessment of and consultation on all
reasonable alternative development site options in each of the settlements selected
for new development. The total amount of land assessed across the rural areas exceeds
the amount required so not all of the sites considered will come forward to deliver the
Core Strategy requirements to 2016 or the likely longer term requirements.
6.3
When proposing sites for development the preference is for previously developed land
(PDL) in accessible locations. The evidence base has established that such
opportunities are limited in the rural settlements.
6.4
The sites that should be progressed for development to meet the needs of the rural
areas are those which perform well in each of the assessments. They are sustainable,
available and deliverable, will contribute to good place-making and are considered to
provide the best opportunities.
6.5
Table 1 below sets out the development proposals to 2016 and beyond, detailing the
amount of housing, employment land and the community benefits associated with
each site.
6.6
Associated infrastructure should be provided in phase with development. The
infrastructure delivery programme which supports the Site Allocations DPDs indicates
the appropriate phasing and existing levels of commitment. Development will be
required to enable funding gaps to be closed. Where justified, financial contributions
may be accepted in lieu of on site provision.

6.7
Modbury is a small market town with a strong local community. It is located mid-way
between Plymouth and Kingsbridge along the busy A379.
6.8
It is designated as a Local Centre recognising the important role it has to play in serving
residents of the town, surrounding communities and visitors to the area. It offers a
range of day to day shopping and community facilities, including a primary school,
health centre, fire station and community hall (the Memorial Hall). The town also
contains a range of offices, light industrial units and art and craft workshops.
6.9
All of Modbury to the south of the A379 is within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
(AONB). A significant part of the town is designated as a Conservation Area and a
Conservation Area Appraisal has been adopted.
Key Local Issues:
6.10 The key issues for the town, documented in a number of sources, including the Modbury
Parish Plan (2007), are:
Traffic and parking problems;
A lack of affordable housing; and
The need to provide a town square.
Development Proposals
6.11 The development requirements for Modbury are:
50 dwellings by 2016;
Provision for continued housing growth beyond that; and
A need to provide for employment in sustainable locations.
21
6 Development Proposals
6.12 The development proposals to meet the needs of the town are informed by the evidence
base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character of
Modbury means that there are few opportunities for new development to take place
on previously developed land (PDL). The proposals therefore include greenfield sites,
particularly to enable assured delivery of the required 50 dwellings by 2016.
West of Palm Cross Green
6.13 The site proposed to meet the bulk of development requirements for the town lies on
the western edge of the town to the west of Palm Cross Green. Parts of the site are
elevated and open to distant views. However, the location performs well in terms of
availability, sustainability, deliverability and place-making, is close to the primary school,
Memorial Hall and employment estate and can meet all the town’s development
requirements to 2016.
6.14 Part of the site adjoins the main A379 road, from which access can be achieved. The
provision of improved pedestrian safety at Palm Cross Green and good pedestrian
links to the town will be particularly important. Suitable strategic landscaping measures
will also be required in order to address the site’s prominence.
6.15 There are local aspirations for a new road through the site to link with Barracks Road
and relieve pressure on the Palm Cross junction. Whilst this may not be necessary to
facilitate the site’s development and it will be important that the requirements of the
proposal are delivered as a priority, such a link would alleviate the traffic hazard at
Palm Cross and assist in achieving a permeable design. Any development proposals
for the site should therefore include measures to address this issue.

Development Proposals 6
South of Poundwell Street
6.17 There is an aspiration in Modbury to create a town square to act as a focal point for
the community. Land in the vicinity of Poundwell Street incorporates a variety of existing
uses – housing and commercial buildings, a health centre, car parking and adjacent
small fields. The area could provide scope for a development which would involve
regeneration and redevelopment as well as new development providing mixed uses,
improved car parking and a new town square. The variety of land ownerships involved
and the characteristics of the area (such as steep slopes and narrow streets) combine
to mean that such a development cannot be assured before 2016. However, the plan
identifies the opportunity for this to be explored.
6.18 Infrastructure required to support the development shall be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA2: South of Poundwell Street
Mixed use development is proposed beyond 2016 to include:
About 20 dwellings;
Commercial development; and
Creation of a town square and re-ordering of the town centre car park.
Development of the site should be carried out in a comprehensive manner.

High second home ownership
n
Salcombe
6.19 Salcombe is situated at the southern end of the Kingsbridge Estuary. The older part
of town is close to the edge of the estuary where many of the second homes and
exclusive shops are located. Subsequent growth has expanded the town up and over
the hillside to the west.
6.20 Salcombe is designated as a Local Centre, recognising the role it plays in serving
residents of the town, surrounding communities and visitors to the area. It offers a
range of shops and services that include a post office, primary school and bank. Much
of the employment is marine or tourism related. The recent growth up the hill has
resulted in an imbalance in the provision of housing, services and facilities.
6.21 The town and surrounding area lie within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
(AONB). The older part of the town is designated as a Conservation Area and a
Conservation Area Appraisal has been adopted. The town is prominent from the estuary
and its landscape setting is extremely important. The Kingsbridge Estuary is a
designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Local Nature Reserve.
Key Local Issues:
6.22 The key issues identified for Salcombe, documented in a number of sources including
the town's parish plan dated 2005, are:
High proportion of second home ownership;
Lack of affordable housing for young people;
Declining resident population and impact on local services and facilities;
Lack of parking provision in holiday season;
Lack of small business units;
Support for marine related activities; and
Lack of supermarket/grocery store.
Development Proposals
25
6 Development Proposals
6.23 The development requirements for Salcombe are:
50 dwellings by 2016;
Provision for continued housing growth beyond that; and
A need to provide for employment in sustainable locations.
6.24 The development proposals to meet the needs of the town are informed by the evidence
base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character of
Salcombe means that there are few opportunities for new development to take place
on previously developed land (PDL). The proposals therefore include greenfield sites,
particularly to enable assured delivery of the required 50 dwellings by 2016 and beyond.
Bonfire Hill
6.25 Planning permission for 44 dwellings at Bonfire Hill satisfies the Core Strategy
requirements for development in the town to 2016. The affordable housing element of
this development is complete.
6.26 There is scope for further development to take place in the same locality, and mixed
uses are proposed there beyond 2016. There are local aspirations for an enlarged
park and ride facility, an extension to the cemetery and additional allotment provision.
Proposals for the site should include consideration of re-arranging/re-locating the
existing uses to meet these aspirations.
6.27 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA3: Bonfire Hill
Development is proposed, to include:
About 50 dwellings by 2016;
Beyond 2016, about 50 dwellings and 0.5ha of employment land;
About 0.2 hectare of play provision and 0.3 ha of other public space; and
Cycle and footpath provision including enhanced access to the town centre.
Development of the site should be carried out in a comprehensive manner.
26
Development Proposals 6
Shadycombe
6.28 Employment land is proposed by 2016 on land at Shadycombe, adjacent to the Creek
car and boat park. The site is well related to the town and performs well in terms of
sustainability and place-making.
6.29 The continuance of existing community uses within it should be provided for, preferably
on the site or otherwise elsewhere in Salcombe. These uses include a fire station,
public toilets and a community hall. Development on the part of the site falling within
Flood Zone 3a and 3b might accommodate water compatible uses.
6.30 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA4: Shadycombe
Development is proposed by 2016, to include:
0.5ha of employment land; and
Cycle and footpath provision including enhanced access to the town centre.

Chillington/
Stokenham
6.31 The twin villages of Stokenham and Chillington are defined together as a Local Centre
and have an important role to play in providing a focal point for the community and a
number of surrounding rural communities.
6.32 Together, Stokenham and Chillington have a good range of community facilities. The
parish church, parish hall and primary school are in Stokenham. Chillington has a
shop/post office, health centre, small community hall and some employment units.
6.33 The villages lie about five miles east of Kingsbridge and a mile inland from Start Bay.
The busy A379 runs through the villages. They lie largely within the Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty (AONB) and both village centres are designated as a Conservation
Areas. Conservation Area Appraisals have been adopted.
6.34 Chillington has a number of sites that have been granted planning permission for
residential development. The community has expressed a desire to see development
in Stokenham to redress the balance and strengthen the centre of the village. The
current limited capacity at the sewage treatment works is a significant constraint to
new development in the short term.
6.35 The two communities wish to see the villages retain their individual character and
coalescence should be avoided. However, pedestrian and cycleway links between
the villages should be improved.
Key Local Issues
6.36 The key issues for Stokenham and Chillington, documented in a number of sources,
including the Stokenham Parish Plan (2004), are:
Traffic problems;
A lack of affordable housing;
29
6 Development Proposals
Need for local employment opportunities; and
Access to shared facilities.
6.37 The need for a new village hall has also been raised through the recent consultation
process, and the community supports a site which lies between the two villages, equally
accessible from either one.
Development Proposals
6.38 The development requirements for Stokenham and Chillington are:
50 dwellings by 2016;
Provision for continued housing growth beyond that; and
A need to provide employment in sustainable locations.
6.39 The development proposals to meet the needs of Stokenham and Chillington are
informed by the evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The
form and character of the villages means that there are few opportunities for
development on previously developed land (PDL). The proposals therefore include
greenfield sites, particularly to enable assured delivery of the required 50 dwellings
by 2016.
30
Development Proposals 6
Chillington Village Centre
6.40 This site lies in the centre of Chillington to the south of the A379. It performs well in
terms of availability, sustainability, deliverability and place making and can meet the
needs of the village to 2016. This site is awaiting completion of a legal agreement to
grant planning permission for residential development.
6.41 This site is therefore proposed in the plan for mixed use development to 2016 including
provision for local community needs.
6.42 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA5: Chillington Village Centre
Development is proposed by 2016, to include:
About 50 dwellings and 0.5 ha of employment;
Provision of enhanced village hall facilities; and
About 0.1 hectare of play provision and 0.15 hectare of other public space.
South of Carehouse Cross, Stokenham
6.43 This site lies to the south-west of the village on either side of the road south from
Carehouse Cross. The site is close to the village centre and primary school and
performs well in terms of availability, sustainability, deliverability and good place making.
6.44 The western part of the site will complete development on the remaining side of
Carehouse Cross, and its design could incorporate a new gateway feature helping to
slow traffic speeds through the village. The eastern part of the site is well related to
the village core. Both sites can be accessed from adjacent highways, including the
main A379, and in each case appropriate street frontage can be created.
6.45 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
6.46 Development proposals for the site should include land or a financial contribution to
enable the local aspirations for the provision of a new village hall to be met and to
address the lack of a village shop in Stokenham. Proposals for the development of
this site should consider the need for appropriate landscaping.
31
6 Development Proposals
Proposal RA6: South of Carehouse Cross, Stokenham
Mixed use development is proposed beyond 2016, to include:
About 100 dwellings and 0.5 ha of employment land;
About 0.15 hectare of play provision and 0.35 hectare of other public space;
Land or financial contribution to enable the provision of a village hall and shop; and
Cycle and footpath provision including enhanced access between Stokenham and
Chillington.
Development of the site should be carried out in a comprehensive manner.

6.47 Yealmpton is located six miles east of Plymouth. It is a large village and is designated
as a Local Centre recognising its important role in providing a focal point for the local
community and surrounding area. It offers a range of day to day shopping and
community facilities, including a primary school which includes space for community
use, health centre, post office, general store, café and a farm shop.
6.48 All of Yealmpton to the south of the A379 is within the Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty (AONB). The historic core of the village is designated as a Conservation Area
and a Conservation Area Appraisal has been adopted.
Key Local Issues:
6.49 The key issues identified for Yealmpton, documented in a number of sources, including
the parish plan (2006), are:
Concerns of over-development and loss of rural character;
Traffic volume, speed and noise throughout the village;
Lack of adequate parking facilities;
The need for affordable housing to address local need; and
Lack of a pharmacy and dentist.
Development Proposals
6.50 The development requirements for Yealmpton are:
50 dwellings by 2016;
Provision for continued housing growth beyond that; and
A need to provide employment in sustainable locations.
35
6 Development Proposals
6.51 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Yealmpton means that there are few opportunities for new development to take
place on previously developed land (PDL). The proposals therefore include greenfield
sites, particularly to enable assured delivery of the required 50 dwellings by 2016.
North and east of Milizac Close
6.52 The site proposed to meet development requirements lies on the western side of the
village adjacent to Milizac Close. It performs well in terms of availability, sustainability,
deliverability and place-making and can meet all of the village’s development
requirements to 2016.
6.53 The site lies adjacent to the A379 from which access and appropriate street frontage
can be achieved. The provision of good pedestrian links to the village will be important.
The existing area of allotments has been included within the proposed site to allow for
an appropriate street frontage to the development. These allotments therefore need
to be re-provided for elsewhere within the site.
6.54 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA7: North and east of Milizac Close
Mixed use development is proposed, to include:
About 50 dwellings and 0.5 ha of employment land by 2016, and at least the
equivalent area of land to re-provide for the displaced allotments;
Beyond 2016, about 50 dwellings and 0.5 ha of employment; and
About 0.2 hectare of play provision and 0.3 ha of other public space.
Development of the site should be carried out in a comprehensive manner.
North of Riverford Farm Shop
6.55 A further site to help meet employment requirements is situated to the west of
Yealmpton to the north of the existing Riverford Farm shop. Access can be achieved
through the current arrangement.
6.56 The location performs well in terms of availability and deliverability. The presence of
existing employment uses in the vicinity could assist delivery and marketing.
36
Development Proposals 6
6.57 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA8: North of Riverford Farm Shop
About 0.5 ha of employment development by 2016, including strategic landscaping.

Aveton Gifford
Dartmouth
Kingsbridge
6.58 Aveton Gifford lies adjacent to the lowest bridging point of and on the west of the River
Avon. There is a good range of community facilities in the village, including a post
office and shop, a village hall and a primary school. A by-pass has reduced traffic
passing through the village. It is located about mid-way between the Area Centre of
Kingsbridge and the Local Centre of Modbury, and these meet many of the village's
service needs.
6.59 Much of Aveton Gifford lies within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
The village centre, St. Andrews Church and Court Barton lie within a designated
Conservation Area and a Conservation Area Appraisal has been adopted. The open
valley to the west of the village is important to the setting of the Conservation Area.
Development Proposals
6.60 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Aveton Gifford means that there are few opportunities for new development to take
place on previously developed land (PDL). A greenfield site is therefore proposed. Its
availability is not assured and development is therefore proposed beyond 2016.
However, if the site were to come forward sooner it would help to address the local
need for affordable housing.
Land north of village centre
6.61 The site proposed for development lies on the northern edge of the village. The location
performs well in terms of sustainability, deliverability and place-making although the
topography of the site is challenging.
6.62 The site has road frontage along its eastern, southern and western boundaries, from
which access can be achieved. It is in close proximity to the facilities available within
the village and footpath provision will allow connectivity. There are local aspirations
39
6 Development Proposals
for the site's development to incorporate enhanced car parking provision for the village.
A watercourse runs through the central part of the site and development will need to
take this into account. Uses across the site will need to be appropriately ordered and
should incorporate sustainable flood management measures.
6.63 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA9: Land north of village centre
Residential development is proposed beyond 2016, to include
About 30 dwellings; and
Footpath access to the village centre with enhanced village car parking.
Development of the site should be carried out in a comprehensive manner.

6.64 Avonwick is situated about six miles west of Totnes in the valley of the River Avon.
The main road from Totnes to South Brent runs through the northern part of the village
and allows important connections to the A38 in the west and to the Area Centre of
Totnes in the east.
6.65 The village offers a small range of community facilities that include a village shop,
public house and garage. Primary school age children generally travel to the
neighbouring village of Diptford. The nearby Area Centre of Totnes meets many of
the village’s service needs.
6.66 Avonwick and the surrounding countryside lie entirely within the Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty (AONB).
Development Proposals
6.67 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Avonwick means that there are few opportunities for new development on previously
developed land (PDL). A greenfield site is therefore proposed, particularly to enable
development to 2016.
6.68 The village of Avonwick did not appear on the initial list of villages for consideration
for development in the Rural Areas DPD because it lacks a primary school. However,
the community has expressed a wish to see some new development in the village,
particularly for affordable homes. Avonwick has a functional relationship with the
village of Diptford, which has a primary school and part time post office. Avonwick
also lies in the Totnes area where the need for affordable homes is greatest and a site
allocation in the village can help to address this.
42
Development Proposals 6
Site west of village
6.69 The site proposed for development lies to the west of the village adjacent to the road
between Avonwick and Ugborough from which access and an appropriate street
frontage can be achieved. The location performs well in terms of availability,
deliverability and place-making.
6.70 There are local aspirations to see the provision of a village hall within the site. Any
development proposal for the site should include land to enable this.
6.71 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA10: Site to west of Avonwick
Residential development is proposed, to include:
About 30 dwellings by 2016;
Land to enable the provision of a village hall; and
Footpath access to the village centre.

6.72 Blackawton lies to the west of Dartmouth in an elevated position and open to view in
the wider countryside for several miles. The village offers a local shop, primary school,
two pubs and community hall. The nearby Area Centre of Dartmouth meets many of
the village’s service needs.
6.73 Much of Blackawton is designated as a Conservation Area and a Conservation Area
Appraisal has been adopted.
Development Proposals
6.74 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Blackawton means that there are few opportunities for new development to take
place on previously developed land (PDL). The proposals therefore include greenfield
sites well related to the existing village.
6.75 There are current limitations in the sewage treatment infrastructure for the village and
this is reflected in the proposals. The larger scale development proposal beyond 2016
will have to address and overcome this constraint.
Land south of Cheavestone Lea
6.76 This site performs well in terms of availability, sustainability, deliverability and placemaking, and is accessible to the services in the village. It provides a logical infill to
the existing pattern of development. Development should respect the sensitive nature
of the adjacent cemetery that is enclosed by a stone wall to the south.
6.77 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
45
6 Development Proposals
Proposal RA11: Land south of Cheavestone Lea
Residential development is proposed, to include:
About 10 dwellings by 2016; and
Footpath access to the village centre.
Town Farm
6.78 Development of this site, which lies to the north of the village at Town Farm, is proposed
beyond 2016. It performs well in terms of availability, sustainability, deliverability and
place-making and is well related to the services in the village. The current limitations
in sewage treatment infrastructure will have to be overcome.
6.79 There are local aspirations for the relocation of the primary school and playing field to
a new site which this development could provide for. The Local Education Authority
has not programmed the school’s relocation but any development proposal for the site
should include land to enable this to happen.
6.80 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA12: Town Farm
Development is proposed beyond 2016 to include:
About 50 dwellings and 0.5ha of employment land;
Provision of a site for a replacement primary school;
About 0.1ha of play provision and 0.15 ha of other public space;
Footpath access to the village centre; and
Strategic landscaping measures to address the site’s scale and location.

6.81 Brixton lies on the A379 two miles east of Plymouth with the historic heart of the village
focused around the parish church. The village offers day to day shopping and
community facilities including a village shop, a general store and post office, a pub, a
restaurant and primary school which also has the Community Rooms. Plymouth
provides many of the village’s service needs.
6.82 The land in Brixton to the south of the A379 lies within the Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty (AONB). Woodlands on the edge of the village are important to its setting.
Development Proposals
6.83 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Brixton means that there are few opportunities for new development to take place
on previously developed land (PDL). A greenfield site is therefore proposed.
Land north east of Venn Farm
6.84 This site lies on the north-western edge of the village. Access should be provided to
enable movement into and through the site, including safe and convenient access to
the village centre. Proposals for the development of this site should consider the need
for appropriate landscaping to help establish a clear northern edge to the development.
6.85 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.

Development Proposals 6
Proposal RA13: Land north east of Venn Farm
Mixed use development is proposed beyond 2016, to include:

6.86 Dartington is located about a mile north west of Totnes. Although closely located and
functionally related to Totnes, Dartington has its own separate identity and
characteristics and it is important that these are protected. A large village, Dartington
offers a range of day to day shopping at the village shop/post office and garage and
community facilities, including a primary school, village hall, pub and recreational
facilities. The Cider Press Centre is a popular tourist attraction which offers a range
of retail outlets.
6.87 Dartington is on the main road network where the A384 and A385 meet, making the
village very accessible, especially from Totnes and to the main A38 trunk road. The
nearby Area Centre of Totnes meets many of the village’s service needs.
Development Proposals
6.88 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Dartington allows for some development on previously developed land (PDL). In
order to assure the delivery of development to 2016, greenfield sites are also included
in the proposals. It has also been important to avoid sites that might result in
coalescence with Totnes.
Webbers Yard and Sawmills Field
6.89 These sites lie on opposite sides of the A385 from which access can be achieved.
The location performs well in terms of availability, sustainability, deliverability and
place-making. Street frontages can be appropriately created to the A385 and to the
adjacent playing fields. Development of Sawmills Field should consider the need for
appropriate landscaping in addition to that already provided. The proposal for the
development of these sites aims to enable regeneration and better use of Webbers
Yard employment estate.
51
6 Development Proposals
6.90 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA14: Webbers Yard and Sawmills Field
Mixed use development is proposed, to include:
About 65 dwellings and 0.5 ha of employment land by 2016;
Beyond 2016, about 30 dwellings and about 0.5 ha of employment land;
Regeneration and retention of existing employment provision at Webbers Yard as
part of these proposals;
About 0.15 hectare of play provision and 0.3 hectare of other public space; and
Cycle and footpath access to the village centre, the National Cycle Network and
towards Totnes.
Development of the sites should be carried out in a comprehensive manner.

6.91 Diptford is situated about five miles south west of Totnes on the eastern side of the
Avon Valley. It offers limited community facilities, but there is a primary school, parish
hall, playing fields and a part-time post office. The Area Centre of Totnes meets many
of the village’s service needs.
6.92 Diptford and the surrounding countryside are within the Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty (AONB).
Development Proposals
6.93 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Diptford means that there are few opportunities for new development on previously
developed land (PDL). A small greenfield site is therefore proposed.
6.94 The village of Diptford did not appear on the initial list of villages for consideration for
development in the Rural Areas DPD because it lacks a shop. However, the community
has expressed a wish to see new development in the village. Diptford has a functional
relationship with the village of Avonwick, which has a shop, garage and pub. Diptford
also lies in the Totnes area where the need for affordable homes is greatest and a site
allocation in the village can help to address this.
6.95 Public transport services to the village are limited but there are community car schemes,
as identified in the Parish Plan, supporting access to key services.
Wheatpark
6.96 The site proposed lies on the north-eastern of the village at Wheatpark, adjacent to
the main road to the village from which access and an appropriate street frontage can
be achieved. It performs well in terms of availability and place-making.

6.97 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the

6.98 Ermington is an attractive village south of Ivybridge. It offers a range of community
facilities including a primary school, church and pub, although the shop/post office
recently closed. A small, busy employment estate is located on the eastern edge of
the village. The village is close to the Area Centre of Ivybridge which meets many of
the service needs of the village.
6.99 There is a Conservation Area around the Square in the heart of Ermington which
extends to much of the village including the church, and a Conservation Area Appraisal
has been adopted.
Development Proposals
6.100 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Ermington means that there are few opportunities for new development on previously
developed land (PDL). A greenfield sites is therefore proposed to enable delivery by
2016.
6.101 Ermington did not feature on the initial list of villages for consideration for development
in the Rural Areas DPD due to the closure of the shop/post office. However, there
have been strong representations from the community that it wants an allocation in
the village to help ensure its long-term viability and support the aspiration for a new
shop to serve the community.
Land west of Ermington Workshops
6.102 This site lies to the west of Ermington Workshops and adjacent to School Lane from
which access can be achieved. The location performs well in terms of availability,
deliverability and place-making.
57
6 Development Proposals
6.103 The site provides the opportunity to deliver a mixed housing scheme with some
additional employment provision adjacent to the existing employment site. This may
help to facilitate the re-ordering of the existing employment provision to make more
effective use of the land. Good pedestrian links and permeable routes to the
employment estate and the village will be particularly important. Land between the
site and the river Erme is within Flood Zone 3b. Development should take this into
account and incorporate sustainable flood management measures.
6.104 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA16: Land west of Ermington Workshops
Mixed use development is proposed by 2016, to include:
About 35 dwellings and 0.1 ha of employment land;
Land or a financial contribution to enable the re-provision of a local shop; and
Footpath access to the village centre.

6.105 The village of Harbertonford, situated within the parish of Harberton, is approximately
three miles to the south west of Totnes on the busy A381 Totnes to Kingsbridge Road.
It offers a range of community facilities including a primary school, a shop, pub, village
hall and playing fields. The Area Centre of Totnes nearby is able to provide for many
of Harbertonford’s service needs.
6.106 Much of the village of Harbertonford is a Conservation Area and a Conservation Area
Appraisal has been adopted.
Development Proposals
6.107 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Harbertonford means that there are few opportunities for new development on
previously developed land (PDL). Although there is the opportunity for a small scale
development on a brownfield site at Harbertonford Mills, in order to meet the longer
term needs of the village, proposals include development on a greenfield site.
6.108 There are concerns about the flood risk within the village as a result of previous
significant flooding incidents. A flood defence scheme has been constructed upstream
of the village to help alleviate the risk of flooding in the future. This has, to date, been
a success, but this issue needs to be assessed fully when considering development
proposals. In addition, topographical and access constraints limit development
opportunities.
Harbertonford Mills
6.109 The small scale brownfield site opportunity lies at the former woollen mill on Woodland
Road where access already exists to the building. Much of the building remains vacant
and unconverted despite being granted planning permission for conversion to residential
use in the 1990’s.
60
Development Proposals 6
6.110 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA17: Harbertonford Mills
Residential development is proposed beyond 2016, to include:
Retention of Listed Buildings on the site and protection of the Conservation Area
setting;
About 10 dwellings; and
Footpath access to the village centre.
Land to the north of the village
6.111 This site lies to the north of the village adjacent to the A381, from which access can
be achieved. The location performs well in terms of availability, sustainability,
deliverability and place-making.
6.112 The provision of improved pedestrian safety and good pedestrian links to the village
will be particularly important. Suitable landscaping measures will also be required in
order to address the prominence of the site. The village has had a history of significant
flood problems and substantial alleviation measures have been put in place. New
development should take this issue into account and incorporate sustainable flood
management measures.
6.113 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA18: Land to the north of the village
Residential development is proposed beyond 2016, to include:
About 50 dwellings and 0.1 ha of employment land
About 0.1 hectare of play provision and 0.15 hectare of other public space; and
Footpath access to the village centre.

6.114 Holbeton lies to the west of the River Erme in a valley bowl between Yealmpton and
Modbury. It offers a range of community facilities including a primary school, post
office/stores, village hall and car park and two pubs. It is well located in relation to the
Local Centres of Modbury and Yealmpton which are able to meet many of the village’s
needs.
6.115 Holbeton lies entirely within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). A
substantial part of the village is within the Conservation Area, comprising principally
the old estate cottages and buildings and a Conservation Area Appraisal has been
adopted.
Development Proposals
6.116 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village beyond 2016 are informed
by the evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and
character of Holbeton means that there are few opportunities for new development on
previously developed land (PDL). The proposal therefore includes a greenfield site
that is well related to the village. The evidence informing this plan has illustrated that
this site is suitable for development but delivery cannot be assured by 2016.
Land north of Church Hill
6.117 The site proposed to meet the needs of the village beyond 2016 lies to the west of the
village. It is adjacent to Church Hill from which access can be achieved and provides
opportunity to enable an appropriate street frontage.
6.118 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.

6.119 Kingswear is situated on the east side of Dartmouth harbour, about one mile from the
mouth of the River Dart. The village has close links to Dartmouth with many people
commuting between the two on the ferry. The village offers a range of community
facilities that include a primary school, post office, shop, pub, village hall and library.
The Area Centre of Dartmouth is able to meet many of the service needs of the village.
6.120 Kingswear lies entirely within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The
heart of the village is designated as a Conservation Area and a Conservation Area
Appraisal has been adopted.
Development Proposals
6.121 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and various assessments referred to earlier. The form and nature of
Kingswear means that there are few opportunities for development on previously
developed land (PDL) and greenfield sites are constrained by factors such as
topography and access. A greenfield site is proposed, particularly to enable delivery
by 2016.
Land at Brixham Road
6.122 The site proposed to meet the needs of the village lies on Brixham Road between
existing areas of development. The site performs well in terms of availability and
moderately in terms of sustainability and deliverability. The steep topography of the
site limits the capacity of development. The site lies adjacent to Brixham Road which
will enable an appropriate street frontage.
6.123 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.

6.124 Loddiswell is a relatively large village situated about three miles to the north of
Kingsbridge. The B3196 bisects the older part of the village and there is a one way
system around the centre in an attempt to address congestion. It offers a range of
community facilities including a post office, primary school, shop, village hall and pub.
The Area Centre of Kingsbridge has a community college and is able to meet many
of the other local service needs of the village. Loddiswell lies entirely within the Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Development Proposals
6.125 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Loddiswell means that there are few opportunities for new development to take
place on previously developed land (PDL). A greenfield site is therefore proposed to
assure delivery by 2016.
Land north of the village
6.126 The site proposed to meet the development needs of the village lies adjacent to the
northern edge of the village. The site performs well in terms of availability, sustainability,
deliverability and place-making.
6.127 The site is adjacent to South Brent Road, from which access can be achieved. Good
pedestrian links to the village will be particularly important. Proposals for the
development of this site should consider the need for appropriate landscaping.
6.128 There is a local aspiration for the provision of a new school. The plan therefore includes
provision for a new school and playing field as part of the development site. Although
this is not required to facilitate the site’s development, proposals should aim to enable
it. The existing school playing field, which is separate from the existing school buildings,
69
6 Development Proposals
is presently safeguarded for the provision of a new school. Until an alternative site for
a replacement school is assured the safeguarding will remain as a policy saved from
the local plan.
6.129 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA21: Land north of the village
Mixed use development is proposed, to include:
About 30 dwellings and 0.1 ha of employment by 2016
Beyond 2016 provision for about 30 dwellings and 0.1 ha of employment land;
A site reserved for a replacement primary school;
About 0.1 hectare of play provision and 0.2 hectare of other public space; and
Footpath access to the village centre.

6.130 Marldon is a large village located about four miles to the north east of Totnes and to
the west of the boundary with Torbay. It is edged by the busy A380 Torbay Ring Road
to the eastern side of the village. The village has seen considerable residential
development in the 1960’s and 1970’s that has consequently resulted in suburban
development to the south.
6.131 It offers a good range of community facilities, including a primary school, shops, pub,
garage, church and village hall. The Area Centre of Totnes and nearby Torbay are
able to provide for many of Marldon’s other service needs.
Development Proposals
6.132 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Marldon means that there are few opportunities for new development on previously
developed land (PDL). Marldon lies in the Totnes area where the need for affordable
housing is greatest. A greenfield site is therefore proposed, particularly to ensure
delivery by 2016.
6.133 Marldon is located close to the boundary with Torbay and it is important to retain the
rural gap between the ring road and the edge of Paignton.
Land at Five Lanes, adjacent to Vicarage Road
6.134 The site proposed to meet the needs of the village to 2016 lies on the eastern edge
of Marldon. The site performs well in terms of availability, sustainability, deliverability
and place-making.
72
Development Proposals 6
6.135 The site lies adjacent to Vicarage Road from which access can be achieved and
appropriate street frontage obtained. It will be important that a clear edge to the village
is established and a buffer between development and the A380 main road retained.
There is a local aspiration for a football pitch and the site has the capacity to provide

Fleming
6.137 Stoke Fleming is a large coastal village situated about three miles south west of
Dartmouth. It offers a good range of community facilities including a primary school,
shop, village hall, two pubs and recreational facilities. The Area Centre of Dartmouth
is able to meet many of Stoke Fleming’s service needs.
6.138 Stoke Fleming lies entirely within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Part of the village is designated as a Conservation Area centred on St Peter’s Church
and a Conservation Area Appraisal has been adopted.
Development Proposals
6.139 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Stoke Fleming means that there are few opportunities for new development on
previously developed land (PDL). The proposals therefore are for greenfield sites,
particularly to enable delivery to 2016.
Land opposite Primary School
6.140 The site proposed to meet the needs of the village to 2016 lies opposite the primary
school. The site performs well in terms of availability, sustainability, deliverability and
place-making.
6.141 The site lies adjacent to School Road, from which access can be achieved and along
which an appropriate street frontage can be provided.
6.142 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
75
6 Development Proposals
Proposal RA23: Land opposite Primary School

Land South of Primary School
6.143 The site proposed to meet the needs of the village beyond 2016 lies to the south of
the primary school. The site performs well in terms of sustainability, deliverability and
place making.
6.144 The site lies adjacent to School Road, from which access can be achieved and along
which an appropriate street frontage can be provided.
6.145 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.

6.146 Stoke Gabriel is a large village located about three miles to the east of Totnes and
about two miles from Paignton. It offers a good range of community facilities including
a primary school, shop, two pubs and village hall. The Area Centre of Totnes is able
to meet many of Stoke Gabriel’s service needs.
6.147 Stoke Gabriel and the surrounding countryside is within the Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty (AONB). Much of the central and southern part of the village is designated as
a Conservation Area and a Conservation Area Appraisal has been adopted. The
orchard to the north of the village and the open areas in the centre of the village are
of particular importance to the landscape setting of the village.
Development Proposals
6.148 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Stoke Gabriel means that there are few opportunities for new development on
previously developed land (PDL). The proposals therefore include greenfield sites to
meet the development needs of the village to 2016 and beyond.
Land opposite Rowes Farm, Aish Road
6.149 The site proposed to meet the development needs of the village to 2016 is situated
on land opposite Rowes Farm. The site performs well in terms of availability,
sustainability, deliverability and place-making.
6.150 The site is adjacent to Aish Road from which access can be achieved and along which
an appropriate street frontage can be provided.
6.151 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
78
Development Proposals 6
Proposal RA25: Land opposite Rowes Farm
Residential development is proposed by 2016, to include:
About 50 dwellings;
About 0.1 hectare of play provision and 0.15 hectare of other public space; and
Footpath access to the village centre.
Land at Paignton Road
6.152 This site, proposed to meet the development needs of the village beyond 2016, lies
on the north eastern edge of Stoke Gabriel. The location performs well in terms of
sustainability, deliverability and place-making.
6.153 The site is adjacent to Paignton Road from which access can be achieved and an
appropriate street frontage obtained. Proposals for the development of this site should
consider the need for appropriate landscaping.
6.154 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA26: Land at Paignton Road
Mixed use development is proposed beyond 2016, to include:
About 80 dwellings;
0.1ha of employment;
About 0.1 hectare of play provision and 0.25 hectare of other public space; and
Footpath access to the village centre.
Land adjacent to Coombe Shute
6.155 This site, proposed to meet some of the development needs of the village beyond
2016, lies in the south-eastern part of the village adjacent to Coombe Shute. It was
previously used as a car park for the Victoria and Albert pub, which has closed.
6.156 The site is within Flood Zone 3b and therefore flood risk would have to be overcome
in order for residential development to be acceptable. However, the site presently lies
largely unused and its appropriate development could enhance the locality.
6.157 The site is accessed by narrow roads and lanes but is within relatively easy access of
the facilities in the village.
79
6 Development Proposals
6.158 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.
Proposal RA27: Land south of Coombe Shute
Residential development is proposed beyond 2016, to include:
About 10 dwellings;
Footpath access to the village centre; and
Measures to mitigate and overcome any flood risk.

Thurlestone
6.159 Thurlestone is located to the west of Kingsbridge in a prominent coastal location. It
offers a range of community facilities including a post office, primary school, pub and
a variety of meeting places, including Thurlestone Hotel and the parish hall. The Area
Centre of Kingsbridge is able to meet many of Thurlestone’s service needs.
6.160 Thurlestone lies entirely within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The
historic and tightly knit heart of the village is designated as a Conservation Area and
a Conservation Area Appraisal has been adopted.
Development Proposals
6.161 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Thurlestone means that there are few opportunities for new development on
previously developed land (PDL). A greenfield site is therefore proposed to enable
delivery.
Land east of Seaview Road
6.162 The site proposed to meet the needs of Thurlestone lies on the north-eastern of the
village to the east of Seaview Road. The site performs well in terms of sustainability,
deliverability and place-making.
6.163 The site is adjacent to Eddystone Road from which access can be achieved and an
appropriate street frontage obtained. Pedestrian links to the facilities within the village
will be important. Proposals for the development of this site should consider the need
for appropriate landscaping.
6.164 Infrastructure required to support the development must be provided in phase with the
development and in accord with adopted policies, particularly policy CS8 of the Core
Strategy.

Development Proposals 6
Proposal RA28: Land east of Seaview Road

Kingsbridge
6.170 Wembury lies on the coast between Plymouth and the Yealm Estuary. It offers a range
of community facilities including a primary school, post office, village hall and playing
fields. Wembury is located close to the Local Centre of Yealmpton which provides a
range of facilities and services and is accessible to Plymouth.
6.171 Wembury lies entirely within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Significant suburban development during the 1960’s resulted in considerable growth
of the village towards the coast.
Development Proposals
6.172 The development proposals to meet the needs of the village are informed by the
evidence base and the various assessments referred to earlier. The form and character
of Wembury means that there are few opportunities for new development on previously
developed land (PDL). A greenfield site is therefore proposed to enable delivery by
2016.
Land south of Knighton Road
6.173 The site proposed to meet the development needs of the village lies on the eastern
edge of Wembury. The site performs well in terms of availability, sustainability,
deliverability and place making.
6.174 The site lies adjacent to Knighton Road from which access can be achieved and enable
an appropriate street frontage. The provision of improved pedestrian safety to the
primary school will be particularly important. Proposals for the development of this site
should consider the need for appropriate landscaping.

Delivery, Monitoring and Flexibility 7
7 Delivery, Monitoring and Flexibility
7.1
“Plan, monitor and manage” is a key characteristic of the LDF system. To be effective
the DPD must be deliverable, flexible and able to be monitored. This requires
co-ordination between the activities of partners to enable development to come forward
within the planned timescales and to seek to assure timely provision of necessary
infrastructure. The plan and its outcomes must be monitored to judge the effectiveness
of its policies and progress in their delivery or to reflect changing circumstances.
Where monitoring shows that a review of a policy or proposal is necessary a review
of that element of the plan may be triggered.
Delivery
7.2
The SHLAA has ascertained site availability, and along with the STA and DRA has
helped identify both opportunities for and constraints to development. These studies
have been critical in establishing which sites are most suitable and likely to be
deliverable and those where delivery may be problematic and likely to be delayed.
The Strategic Infrastructure Delivery group has drawn together a programme of
infrastructure (set out at Appendix 1) showing costs, priority, phasing, funding sources
and responsibilities for delivery. Infrastructure, facilities and services directly required
to serve new development will be expected to be funded by the developer in line with
Core Strategy Policy CS8: Infrastructure Provision.
7.3
On some sites development viability may be affected by factors such as high abnormal
costs and/or competing or existing use values. Therefore, the availability of external
funding and subsidy should be maximised. Where it can be demonstrated that schemes
will necessarily involve high abnormal costs, for example due to heavy contamination
or particularly difficult site characteristics, the Council will consider a reduction in the
policy requirements. In such cases, an assessment of development viability will be
undertaken by the Council or an independent valuer.
7.4
Further details on development delivery and viability can be found in the Council’s
Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing SPDs.
Monitoring
7.5
The framework for monitoring the DPD’s effectiveness in achieving the vision and
objectives and delivering the site allocations is shown at Appendix 2. It includes a
series of indicators and targets to assess the performance of the DPD. Where possible
existing indicators and targets, principally from the Core Strategy monitoring framework
have been used.
91
7 Delivery, Monitoring and Flexibility
7.6
The Council produces an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) for the LDF and this will
be the main mechanism for assessing the DPD’s performance and effectiveness. The
performance of policies will also be monitored against the objectives and targets
included in the sustainability appraisal to assess the strategy’s contribution towards
sustainable development. This monitoring will be reported in the AMR.
Flexibility
7.7
This DPD looks ahead at development over the next 15 years and beyond. It is
therefore essential that it is flexible to be able to adapt to changing circumstances.
7.8
The strategic context and development strategy to 2016 is set in the Core Strategy.
Beyond 2016, the requirements are less specific with a district wide housing figure set
out in the emerging RSS. A review of the Core Strategy is expected to commence in
2011 with adoption in 2014. It is presently considered that this is unlikely to significantly
alter the spatial vision, objectives or strategy in the present Core Strategy. However,
updates of the SHMA and SHLAA and changes in other circumstances, particularly
the state of the economy, may have significant effects, say, on the distribution of new
housing and employment between individual settlements.
7.9
If monitoring shows that allocated sites or planned infrastructure are failing to deliver
within the prescribed timescales, there is an undersupply of affordable housing or
employment land or the district’s housing trajectory is significantly falling short,
contingency measures may be applied. These could include:
Negotiating variations in housing numbers, mix, type and tenure (as detailed in
AH DPD and SPD)
negotiating around other site requirements
bringing forward sites identified for later plan periods
releasing less sustainable sites for development
a partial or whole review of the DPD
a partial or whole review of the Core Strategy
7.10 The most appropriate approach to respond to under-delivery will vary from place to
place and according to the cause of the under-delivery. In certain circumstances a
non-policy intervention may be more appropriate. Such intervention could include:
acting as a broker between landowner and developer and/or Housing Association
and/or community
seeking additional funding, or supporting partner bids for external funding.
