                                    (Vote: Unanimous)

Addition of 2 roof lights to southern elevation.  Addition of shower room en-suite to bedroom.  Addition of shower room to second floor - Bude House, 28 Bude Street, Appledore – RESOLVED - Recommend approval as long as work is carried out sympathetically in accordance with listed building requirements.

(Vote: Unanimous)

 

1207/05           Listed Building application to carry out alterations -  Woodville, Raleigh Hill, Bideford – RESOLVED - Recommend approval as long as work is carried out sympathetically in accordance with listed building requirements.

                                    (Vote: Unanimous)

 

1222/05           Outline  application for a dwelling - Chalmers, Golf Links Road, Westward Ho! – RESOLVED - Recommend approval.  Seems to be a straightforward infill.

                                    (Vote: Unanimous)

 

1268/05           Proposed alterations to dwelling, installation of two conservation roof lights to provide additional ventilation and emergency means of escape. 36A Bude Street, Appledore – RESOLVED - Recommend approval subject to Conservation Officer being satisfied.

(Vote: Unanimous)

 

1281/05           Proposed closure of existing caravan park access and formation of new access. Torville, Atlantic Way, Westward Ho! – RESOLVED - Recommend approval.  This appears to be an improvement removing a dangerous access onto Atlantic Way.

(Vote: Unanimous)

 

1307/05           Reserved matters application for a dwelling - Land adjacent to 21 Chanters Road – RESOLVED - Recommend Refusal.  This appears to be a poor design for the site with an unnecessary loss of garden.  If the garaging and turning area could be located on the north side of the property, by perhaps sharing the access drive, this would allow for much better elevation to the south and would allow for some landscaping.

                                    (Vote: Unanimous)

 

1328/05           Proposed conservatory -  The Acorns, 33 Orchard Hill – RESOLVED - Recommend approval.

                                    (Vote: Unanimous)

 

1334/05           Detailed application for the erection of a detached dwelling. Land to west of  No 14 Richmond Green – RESOLVED - Recommend refusal.  Proposal is far too large for the site and contravenes condition 2 of outline approval of 23rd May 2003 on application 523/03.  Condition 2 states the development shall take the form of a single storey dwelling or chalet style bungalow.

                        (Vote: Unanimous)

 

            1341/05           Proposed 2-storey extension and balcony over single storey

extension. Vehicle access to parking bay -  11 St Teresa’s Court, Northam – RESOLVED - Recommend approval.  Seems to be straightforward.

                                    (Vote: Unanimous)

 

1349/05           Proposed loft conversion incorporating 2 no dormer windows. Windward, Churchill Way, Appledore – RESOLVED - Recommend approval.  Seems to be straightforward.

                                    (Vote: Unanimous)

 

1353/05           Retrospective application for swimming pool extension. South Conybeare, Bay View Road – RESOLVED - Recommend approval. 

                                    (Vote: Unanimous)

 

Cllr Miller declared a prejudicial interest in the next two applications and left the meeting.

1379/05           Proposed 12 holiday lodges. Land adjacent to the Royal North Devon Golf Club – RESOLVED - Recommend refusal.  Important to maintain the open space as a buffer zone between existing developments and the burrows.   

                                    (Vote: Unanimous)

 

1380/05           Proposed golf driving range - Land adjacent to the Royal North Devon
