Strategic Planning Committee, 3 September 2024 – afternoon session (1)
the prospective developers have advised of road access coming through site 20B from the south so there would be a link through a housing estate and onto Deanham Way and also highway access to the north to Ting Tong but there would be all sorts of scope for pedestrian cycle and another sustainable transport travel modes at various points in the site00:16:45 ▶ · D.

Strategic Planning Committee, 3 September 2024 – morning session (4)
we recognize that the sites that have been promoted in Exmouth are largely on the edge of the settlement with the the town center being in the bottom left corner of Exmouth so that is a challenge … it is a settlement that is appropriate for higher level growth00:26:04 ▶ · I. Admissions (24)
whilst site 28 which is a large site on the eastern side of the town is not proposed as an allocation in the recommendations we have had discussions with prospective developers interested in land parts in respect to a larger scale site and I know through previous work there has been some support expressed for this as a development option00:27:14 ▶ · C. Reasonable alternatives (27)
there was a logical process that we followed in site assessment work so it was a process set out in this flow chart it starts with site identification we've done some sifting assessment site selection and it's important to reiterate that the choices of allocation the recommendations are a product of looking at housing requirements … it also is a top-down component looking at the spatial strategy … the bottom up element is the more rigorous site assessment00:29:27 ▶ · B. Site selection: HELAA, officer advice and why EXMO20 was included (“justified”) (93)
yeah I think there is a contradiction it's clearly a sensitive site in landscape terms but I think that could be replicated for a number of sites I think it's a contradiction that needs clarifying and amending in redrafting but it is a recommendation for allocation01:08:25 ▶ · B.

this site, one of the reasons it was brought back was concern over highway access and you'll see in the paperwork that Devon County Council have indicated with the new link between Hullam Road and the A376 Exeter Road development would be acceptable.02:11:47 ▶ · D.
