5 houses with no less than FOURTEEN parking spaces, on grade 1 agricultural land in an AONB. Clinton Devon Estates surely you are having a laugh …
“Plans for five new homes at East Budleigh have attracted opposition from the parish council.
Clinton Devon Estates is seeking outline planning permission for five new homes, including three affordable homes, on land at Frogmore Road, east of Oak Hill.
The landowner has previously proposed a larger residential development on the site but those plans were withdrawn in the face of local opposition.

A local housing needs survey report prepared for Clinton Devon Estates by chartered town planners Bell Cornwell identified a need for at least three to five units of affordable housing in the parish.
The site is on the edge of the village, to the north of Frogmore Road, within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Clinton Devon Estates wants to build two four-bedroom houses for sale on the open market along with two three-bedroom and one two-bedroom affordable homes. The proposals include 14 car parking spaces.
In a planning statement supporting the application, Bell Cornwell said discussions with the parish council about the potential development of the site had been going on for some time. …
… The application was debated by East Budleigh with Bicton Parish Council on Tuesday, July 26. Councillors resolved to object to the plans on the grounds that the application does not provide a sufficient proportion of affordable dwellings relative to open-market housing.
The parish council also objects to building on Grade 1 agricultural land when lower grade agricultural land is available, and to building on what it described as “an environmentally sensitive site, adjacent to a flood zone and inconvenient for access to village facilities”.
