Planning committee

Deferred by South Hams Development Management Committee on 10 Sept 2026.

Deferred

  • Officers advised approval because the site was sustainable, well related to Kingsbridge and had no significant adverse impacts.
  • Objectors raised concerns about countryside development, access, flooding, ecology, landscape harm and the dwelling’s scale.
  • The committee deferred the application to obtain further information about ecology, emergency access, gradients, drainage and neighbourhood plan policy.
