Planning committee

Decided by East Devon Planning Committee on 10 Jul 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the amendment would not cause enough planning harm to outweigh the wider scheme’s benefits.
  • The parish council and three other respondents objected over open space, legal issues, maintenance and solar-farm impacts.
  • The committee adopted the Appropriate Assessment and approved the application with conditions, subject to a deed of variation.

Site constraints 4

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
3 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Clyst St Mary built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
