grew from an ancient settlement on the eastern shores of the Exe Estuary. The village built it s reputation on agriculture and maritime trade. The village has 4 public houses, a well established primary school, village stores and a train service operating between Exeter and Exmouth. I has a very informative website.org and there is a long established sailing club together with many other and a wide selection of clubs and societies giving the village a great sense of its own identity. Site and Location The garden nursery site is located to the southern side of the village positioned on the left hand side entering the village along Church Road and is directly opposite Parish Church. The site sits within the Conservation area which comprises the early settlement connected with the port, mainly west of the railway, with most development either fronting or in short terraces or alleys running towards The Strand. Further inland there is a more open pattern of settlement including the school, the mill and House, with a large proportion of open space and some fine specimen trees. The nursery site lies centrally within this zone. Planning Over the last 5 years the nursery site has featured prominently within the Neighbourhood Plan, with the latest and most up to date plan issued incorporating Inspectors comments in December 2014. The Development Brief of the same year, commissioned by Parish Council as a supplementary planning document (SPD) to expand on the Local Development and Neighbourhood Plan Policy was intended to provide guidance to help ensure high quality sustainable residential development at the site.
Planning Cont... The western part of the Site has been identified and will be made available by the owners to the village of on a basis to be agreed. This land is required to maintain the views across the valley from the steps of St Mary s Church and a line of sight from the Parish Church to the Old Mill via a centrally located large Oak tree is to be retained as indicated on the aerial photoplan ( site line ). The southern part of the site is proposed as a formal village green area. Located within the northern portion is a proposed parking area for the Parish Church. The part of the site currently occupied by the former nursery buildings east of the site line has been identified as potential development land for residential use. Access to the developable land and the proposed church car park is provided by utilising the existing site access. The residential development arc is underlined and highlighted within the Neighbourhood Plan as a designated residential area within the whole site. The owners have progressed initial discussion with the planning authority as far as a pre-application meeting. Affordable Housing Provision In reference to the above land allocations, the current owners will work with the chosen developer to seek to maximise the development value of the developable residential area by committing to make available on a basis to be agreed through the planning process the proposed village green area (0.81 hectares) to the village of on the understanding that this is off-set against any affordable housing and other section 106 requirements on the site. The proposed village green and church car park takes up 0.81 hectares of the whole of the site, the residential area covering the remaining 0.60 hectares on a ratio of 60:40 in favour of the village amenities. It is anticipated that it should be limited to a day to day operational church and school car park with an occasional green overflow car park area for special occasions. A footpath connection to the village will be required just inside the roadside wall/fence.
