Dear Strategic Planning Policy Team,

EMERGING LOCAL PLAN PUBLIC CONSULTATION – OBJECTION TO ALLOCATION LP_Gitti_05

I/we am/are writing to register our objection to any residential development in allocation reference  LP_Gitti_05 as identified in the Emerging Local Plan consultation. The reasons for this objection are as follows:

• The detrimental impact development will have on the setting of Gittisham Village and its conservation area
• Development will have a detrimental visual impact to the AONB and on the setting of the AONB
• It is not appropriate to increase further residentially generated traffic and pedestrian movements through an industrial estate
• Additional traffic accessing Hayne Lane or the existing Hayne Farm development will be detrimental to vehicular and pedestrian safety
• Further pressure on already overstretched health, social and education services
• Highways, sewers and sewage treatment infrastructure already at capacity
• Distance from town centre, schools, health centre/hospital, train station and commercial centre will result in car travel resulting in an unsustainable development
• It is totally inappropriate and irresponsible to be showing a settlement boundary at this point in time

Yours faithfully,

Name.

East Devon District Council is carrying out a public consultation on its draft Local Plan, which includes proposals to develop sites for residential housing within and close to Gittisham parish. The map below shows the proposals. [Please email if you require a large print version or if you have any other access requirements.]

Gitti_03 and Gitti_04 on the above plan are employment allocations which form part of the current EDDC Local Plan which was approved, following a Public Inquiry. The current emerging Local Plan rolls forward this Local Plan to cover the period 2020-2040.

LP_Gitti_05 and LP_Gitti_06 are new proposed residential allocations within the Parish.

The Honiton Strategic Policy (21) in the Consultation Draft states:
Land to the west of Hayne Lane (LP_Gitti_05) – The western parts of the site will form a medium scale residential development close to the existing urban edges of Honiton to accommodate around
100 new homes. The extent of the allocation is, however, still to be determined through follow (up)
work in 2023. The policies map currently shows all the site (Gitt_05) falling in the Settlement
Boundary but the expectation is that this boundary line will be subject to refinement to ultimately
include those easterly parts of the site that are determined to be appropriate for development and
exclude those areas that are determined to not be appropriate for development

LP_Gitti_06 – This land will form a small scale residential development close to the existing urban
edges of Honiton to accommodate around 31 new homes.

Gittisham Parish Council will be raising an objection to any development within the proposed
allocation LP_Gitti_05. The redevelopment of the redundant farm buildings at the former Hayne
Farm, LP_Gitti_06, is supported by the Parish Council.

The reasons for the PC objection to LP_Gitti_05 are:

• The detrimental impact development will have on the setting of Gittisham Village and its
• conservation area
• Development will have a detrimental visual impact to the Area of Outstanding Natural
• Beauty (AONB) and on the setting of the AONB
• It is not appropriate to increase further residentially generated traffic and pedestrian
• movements through an industrial estate
• Additional traffic accessing Hayne Lane or the existing Hayne Farm development will be
• detrimental to vehicular and pedestrian safety
• Further pressure on already overstretched health, social and education services
• Highways, sewers, sewage treatment and surface water infrastructure already at capacity
• Distance from town centre, schools, health centre/hospital, train station and commercial
• centre will result in car travel resulting in an unsustainable development
• It is totally inappropriate and irresponsible to be showing a settlement boundary at this
• point in time.

The Parish Council will also look at the allocation LP_HON_01 and will comment in due course.

If you agree with the Parish Council it is essential that EDDC understand the extent of parishioners’
concerns and you are encouraged to submit your representations quoting the LP reference to EDDC
in writing to:

Industrial Estate, HONITON. EX14 1EJ

On-line at: https://eastdevonlocalplan.commonplace.is

In addition EDDC are holding a number of “drop in exhibitions” at locations around the District. The
exhibitions will be an opportunity for people to find out more about the Local Plan and speak to a
planning officer face to face.
