16Land East of Parsonage Lane, South Molton (Proposal SMO2d) ADOPTED DEVELOPMENT BRIEF5.11 It may be more appropriate for development on the most elevated parts of the site to beonly single storey. The Design and Access Statement accompanying any application shoulddemonstrate that the building heights proposed are appropriate for the topography.5.12 Development proposals should respect the topography of the site where possible, andrespond to the slopes of the site. Split level properties and terraces that step-down slopes,as seen elsewhere within South Molton, should be used to achieve this objective.5.13 Immediate Surroundings – The amenity of the existing dwelling on the western boundary,Nettle Barn, should be considered and protected in accordance with Policy DVS3. Dwellingsproposed around this boundary should seek to maintain its privacy through appropriatedesign and boundary planting if considered appropriate.5.14 The development proposals around the south-eastern corner of the site should adopt asimilar approach and be set back from the existing property (known as Gullacombe) asufficient distance so as to minimise the impact on the amenity of this property. Dwellingsproposed on the southern boundary should also maintain the privacy of existing propertiesaround this boundary, including Hollymoor House, through appropriate design andboundary planting.5.15 In addition the Council will expect the developer to incorporate measures to mitigatethe impact of noise and light pollution to protect the amenities of the occupants of theexisting properties and surrounding area in accordance with Policy DVS3 whilst designingout opportunities for crime. Appropriate street lighting should be provided that improvesthe safety and security of the area and promotes the use of pedestrian linkages throughthe site. Any necessary lighting should be low key, unobtrusive and directional.5.16 Due to the established hedgerow along Station Road and the difference in height betweenthe road and the site level, the hedgerow on this boundary should be maintained andenhanced where appropriate. Properties should not be designed to form a frontage onto the road at the expense of losing this hedgerow. The design of the vehicular accessonto Station Road should also seek to minimise the loss of hedgerow, whilst achievingacceptable visibility splays to the satisfaction of the Local Highways Authority.April 2008RPS Planning
5.17 Open Space Strategy – Proposal SMO2d requires the provision of approximately 3.5 hectaresof formal and informal Public Open Space to be provided, concentrated in the easternhalf of the site.5.18 The Public Open Space, Sport and Recreation Supplementary Planning Guidance acceptsthat in certain circumstances it is not practical or desirable to meet the standards ofprovision within a scheme. At land east of Parsonage Lane, the topography of the sitedoes not allow for the provision of playing pitches on-site and developers may also havedifficulties in providing some other forms of open space that require level sites. In suchcircumstances contributions may be sought for the provision or enhancement of facilitiesoff-site. An equipped children’s play area for use by younger and older children, possiblyin the form of an adventure style playground, together with an area of informal openspace will be required to be provided on-site.5.19 Overall, however, the applicant is required to provide a significantly higher amount ofPublic Open Space than would normally be required, in line with the requirements ofProposal SMO2d. The Council will require details of how this open space will be providedwithin the development as part of a detailed planning application.5.20 The Council will expect a significant proportion of open space to be provided throughone large area of open space in the north-eastern portion of the site. At this point thesite forms a steep natural valley. Preserving this area as open space will perform multipleroles of: protecting and enhancing the existing watercourse whilst providing a significantarea of informal open space to be used by residents; conserving the prominance of theelevated landscape; and offering the opportunity of enhancing the Biodiversity Networkthrough creating an area of wetland in accordance with Policy ENV8 of the Local Plan.nExtended communitywoodlandTransition fromwoodland toparklandLinear ParkOpen Space StrategyThe Valley17Land East of Parsonage Lane, South Molton (Policy SMO2d) ADOPTED DEVELOPMENT BRIEFPaved CoreRPS PlanningApril 2008
