Very pleased to hear common sense has prevailed as EDDC's Planning Committee voted overwhelmingly to REJECT unsafe proposals for 63 homes in Ottery St Mary.
I joined the almost 500 other objections to this planning application which would put a heavy burden on the already busy Sidmouth Road whilst increasing danger to pedestrians. Huge credit is due to the residents who spoke against the proposal at the meeting today, you have my full support. You can read my letter below.
EDDC's Planning Committee refused the application today on the grounds the scheme is contrary to East Devon's own planning policies given the overwhelming impact on the local site and surrounding area, will result in the loss of very good quality agricultural land, and that there is no mechanism to secure the provision of necessary affordable housing and public open space.
