Knowle relocation project >>> VGS Futures Forum >>> comment on Knowle planning application

Following the rejection by the planning committee of an appication to build on the site of Knowle in 2013, there has been a further application.

The Town Council will be meeting this evening to consider the latest planning application:
Vision Group for Sidmouth - Knowle relocation project >>> public invited to attend Town Council planning committee

The Futures Forum of the Vision Group has put together sevearl piecies on the application.

These refer to the reasons the District Council's planning committee put forward when it rejected a similar planning application in 2013:
1) Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project > Pegasus planning application 16/0872/MFUL >>> and the rejected planning application 12/1847/MOUT of 1st March 2013 >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Part one: "Contrary to Policy RE1 (Retention of Land for Sport and Recreation)"
2) Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project > Pegasus planning application 16/0872/MFUL >>> and the rejected planning application 12/1847/MOUT of 1st March 2013 >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Part two: "Contrary to to the requirements of Policy E3 (Safeguarding Employment Land and Premises)"
3) Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project > Pegasus planning application 16/0872/MFUL >>> and the rejected planning application 12/1847/MOUT of 1st March 2013 >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Part three: "Contrary to policy D1 (Design and Local Distinctiveness)"
4) Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project > Pegasus planning application 16/0872/MFUL >>> and the rejected planning application 12/1847/MOUT of 1st March 2013 >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> Part four: Contrary to policy EN9 (Extension, Alteration or Change of Use of Buildings of Special Architectural and Historic Interest)

This is the preliminary set of comments from the FF of the VGS, based on the above:

Word Document - Planning Application: 16/0872/MFUL - Preliminary comment from the Futures Forum of the VGS

And these are other possible grounds for refusing the latest planning application:
- Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project > Pegasus planning application 16/0872/MFUL >>> Strategy 4 - Balanced Communities >>> Strategy 34 - Affordable Housing Provision Targets
- Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project > Pegasus planning application 16/0872/MFUL >>> EN8 - Significance of Heritage Assets and their Setting
- Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project > Pegasus planning application 16/0872/MFUL >>> Strategy 3 - Sustainable Development
