Cavanna Homes controversial full planning permission for 40 homes on AONB land in Newton Poppleford was agreed in principle by EDDC but held up because affordable homes were clustered together instead of being ” pepper potted” throughout the development.

New plans appear to show two homes on the western edge of the site, four to the north and nine in a cul-de-sac facing north towards the end of the estate road.

Is this “pepper potting”? The officers think so. Hhhmmmm … quite a lot of pepper in the remotest and possibly least attractive corner of the plate.
