MINUTES
IN THE COLERIDGE HUNDRED OF THE SOUTH HAMS OF DEVON
Those in attendance:
Cllr J. Abbey, Cllr I. Mitchelmore, Cllr C. Staines, Cllr S. Lange, Cllr P. Osborne, Cllr I. Luscombe and Cllr J. Waters (arrived at 7.10)
John Fewings and Lisa Edmonds (DCC Highways) were also in attendance (arrived 7.00 pm and left 7.45).
33:24 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE: Cllr Crowson – away on holiday, Cllr Brazil – Council in purdah so no Council business to report and Cllr Lawford – unwell.
34:24 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST: Cllr Osborne and Cllr Abbey declared an interest in item 41:24 b Slapton Village Community Shop signage as they both volunteer there and Cllr Osborne is also Chair of the Shop Committee. It was agreed that they would participate in discussions but would not vote on the matter. Cllr Mitchelmore declared an interest in item 41:24 e Bank at Brook Street as he neighbours the land in question. It was agreed that he would participate in discussions but would not vote on the matter.
35:24 PUBLIC COMMENT: None
36:24 POLICE REPORT: None
37:24 DCC HIGHWAYS: John Fewings (Neighbourhood Highway Manager) and Lisa Edmonds (Neighbourhood Highway Officer).
a. John explained that he looks after 3 Neighbourhood Highway Teams and has been working with Josh Manning from DCC’s Highway Planning Team to consult local Parish Councils on the alternative inland routes, in the event that there is partial or full closure of the A379 Slapton Line. They have already had the opportunity to speak with Stokenham and Strete Parish Councils. Currently there is a three-fold approach to the A379 Slapton Line:
• Routine maintenance: carried out by DCC
• Protection: being considered by SHDC and DCC, who are working with the Slapton Line Partnership.
• Longer term resilience: being considered by DCC. This includes deciding the most suitable alternative inland routes and how to improve these, if the A379 is closed, undermined or breached, as local people will have to rely on the back routes.
b. An updated map of the alternative inland routes was shared and Lisa explained these routes. She said that the routes from Slapton to Strete/Dartmouth worked well during the partial closure of the A379 Slapton Line (at Strete Gate end) in 2018/19 and that upgrades to these routes were carried out between 2018 – 2020. Lisa confirmed that Highways cannot make any further information about these improvements available to the PC as they do not have records of the improvements they made. John explained that the work included hedge cutting, widening and patching. Lisa said you should be able to tell where there are passing bays but it may not be so obvious now [due to the passing of time].
c. John explained that Highways were able to use monies left over from the realignment of the A379 Slapton Line between in 2018/19 and about £200k has been carried forward from this funding, which remains earmarked for further resilience works. There was further discussion about work that had already been done on the routes from Slapton to Strete/Dartmouth, which included hedge cutting and resurfacing.
d. Lisa confirmed that she knows the alternative inland routes well as she has driven and walked them extensively. She explained that the improvements to these routes would include ploughing, sweeping and ditching to address flooding on some routes. Lisa also explained that further resilience works will include enhancing what is already there by digging out, where people have made their own passing places, to create new passing places but it will not include the acquisition of more land or compulsory purchase.
e. The PC raised the issue of flooding at Deer Bridge, meaning that is not an alternative inland route for most vehicles during wet months. Lisa confirmed that Highways will not be doing anything to remedy this like dredging and it is unlikely the Environment Agency will either (it is a SSSI) so residents will just have to take the longer route via Coles Cross to get to Stokenham or Chillington.
f. The PC raised the issue of the narrow bridge at Forder. Lisa confirmed there would not be width restriction signage at this location. John explained that a wider wayfinding and signage strategy would be put in place.
g. There was further discussion about road surfaces and Lisa disagreed that some were in poor condition because they had been upgraded as part of the works between 2018 – 2020. However, she confirmed that the stretch of about 600m from the bridge at Forder to Cornish Post had not been included in these works and still needs resurfacing.
h. John further explained that the types of interventions Highways are considering include:
• Wayfinding and signage strategy
• Upgrades to existing passing placing places
• New passing places
• Safety improvements at junctions
i. There was discussion about the costs involved for satisfactory upgrades to the inland routes and the PC questioned whether the money would be better spent by diverting it to protection/repair of the A379 Slapton Line instead. John confirmed that the money was earmarked for Highways and could not be spent on coastal protections. There was further discussion about the importance of new passing places in the most necessary locations even if that means fewer passing places overall i.e. fewer passing places in the right locations. John agreed and explained that the consultations with Parish Councils will be an ongoing process.
j. The PC asked about plans to maintain passing places so that they remain usable and were told by Lisa that would be part of routine maintenance.
k. There was further discussion about the PC’s concerns as follows:
• Emergency services access. Lisa and the Chair confirmed that the Dartmouth fleet can access Slapton via the back routes; and
• Access to Slapton for deliveries and by caravans/camper vans using the campsite. Lisa explained that if one end of the A379 Slapton Line is lost this will not be a problem and confirmed there was still access from Kingsbridge whilst the road was realigned after the 2018 damage. No solution was offered if the entire A379 Slapton Line is lost.
l. John explained that vehicle surveys had been conducted to understand the amount of traffic using the A379 Slapton Line and that vehicle modelling would also be conducted (this will help in any requests for additional funding for longer term resilience upgrades).
m. John explained that discussions were not a one off, Highways would continue to work with Parish Councils and will keep them updated via the Slapton Line Partnership. He also asked whether the Parish Council would be able to facilitate negotiations with landowners if land acquisition or other arrangements with landowners are required. The PC confirmed that they would.
n. The PC thanked John and Lisa for their time and explained that they were reassured that Highways will work with Parish Councils to agree the final plans for improvements.
o. Finally, Cllr Osborne asked why he had not received a response from Lisa regarding numerous emails he has sent regarding the PC’s key Highways priorities. Lisa explained that either she had not received them because Cllr Osborne had got her email wrong or that she had overlooked them because they had not come from a clerk@email. The Clerk confirmed that she has copies of all the email that Cllr Osborne has sent to Lisa and will forward them from the clerk@ email. Clerk to action.
38:24 COUNTY AND DISTRICT COUNCILLOR REPORTS: None
39:24 MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE PARISH COUNCIL HELD ON 13TH MAY 2024 were agreed unanimously and signed by the Chair as a true and correct record.
40:24 PLANNING
a. Applications (for resolution)
i. 1346/24/CLE Higher Coltscombe Cottage Slapton TQ7 2QE
Certificate of lawfulness for existing domestic outbuilding for storage & parking.
PC is not a statutory consultee on certificates of lawfulness – any comments on historic usage to be submitted by14.06.24.
It was resolved unanimously that the PC has no useful information to share about historic usage.
ii. 1432/24/HHO Blacklands Farm 2 Orchard Coombe Barns Slapton TQ7 2QE
Householder application for proposed roof lights to front & rear elevation
PC comments by 27.06.24.
There was discussion about the application and it was noted that the adjacent property has 3 Velux windows on the east elevation and that both adjacent properties to the west elevation have 1 and 2 Velux windows, respectively. It was noted that a previous non-material minor amendment to planning consent 44/2799/11/F for new conservation roof lights to Unit 2 application had been rejected as it was not considered by SHDC as a non-material minor amendment and a new planning application should be made. Cllr Mitchelmore proposed, Cllr Lange seconded and it was resolved unanimously that the PC had no comment to make assuming that the Velux windows were in keeping with adjacent properties. Clerk to action.
b. Decisions (for information only)
i. 1240/24/TPO Kippax 2 Chantry Hill Slapton TQ7 2QY
T1: Ash – remove, decay present, suspected dieback, Ivy infestation. T2: Poplar – crown reduce by 3m overall (if T1 is removed, growing into T1, multiple trunk bifurcation, risk of failure.
SHDC Decision: Refused 21.05.24
c. Trees Works (for information only – Tree Wardens will assess and comment): None
d. Withdrawn (for information only): None
41:24 MATTERS FOR DISCUSSION
a. Neighbourhood Plan: Having reviewed information provided by Strete and the offer of attending a meeting by Stoke Flemming, what are the PC’s thoughts or next steps? There was discussion about the amount of time it takes to develop a Neighbourhood Plan and it was agreed that more information would be useful to establish the rewards verses effort. Cllr Lange proposed, Cllr Waters seconded and it was resolved unanimously that Struan Coupar from Stoke Fleming PC should be invited to a future PC meeting. Clerk to action.
42:24 PROPOSALS FOR RESOLUTION
a. Co-option of new Councillor: Giles Sutton. Cllr Abbey explained that she and Cllr Osborne together with the Clerk had met with Giles. Cllr Abbey feels that Giles would be a good addition to the Parish Council and would be able to bring the perspective of parishioners living in Hansel and the outer Parish. Cllr Osborne explained that Giles was very keen and has the right skill set. He is ex-military and an ex police officer. He has recently stepped down, after long service, from a leadership role in a church in Kingsbridge. It was resolved unanimously to co-opt Giles Sutton onto the PC. Clerk to complete checks and paperwork.
b. Signage: Does the PC approve the installation of a Slapton Village Community Shop sign on the fencing in the Park and Walk, opposite the camp site? Cllr Osborne explained that the camp site now has its own small shop selling bread, milk etc. Slapton Village Community Shop is mentioned in camp site information but the Shop Committee feel that many campers are not aware of the Village Shop. As such, the Shop Committee would like to place a permanent sign on the fence (owned by the PC) as permanent A boards are not permitted on verges. The sign would be easily visible to campers and those parking at the Park and Walk too. Cllr Lange proposed, Cllr Luscombe seconded and it was resolved unanimously that Slapton Village Community Shop could place a permanent sign on the fence. Cllr Osborne and Cllr Abbey were not included in the voting due to their declarations of interest. Clerk to inform Shop Committee of the decision.
c. Verge between Bus Stop and South Grounds Farm: Does the PC wish to progress with restoration of this verge? It was noted that DCC Highways will not grant permission for any kerbing, tree planting or verge protection posts and concerns were shared about the longevity of any repairs without additional protection. Cllr Abbey proposed, Cllr Mitchelmore seconded and it was resolved unanimously to not conduct repairs at present and to revisit the issue if mud from the verge impacts nearby drainage.
d. Leaking water pipe at entrance to Tower Inn: Does the PC wish to contact property owners to request that this is repaired to prevent further erosion of the road surface and slippery ice during freezing weather? It was noted that when the PC approached South West Water about this issue in the past, they confirmed it was the responsibility of the two properties that the pipe serves. Cllr Osborne explained that a nearby resident had reported the issued to South West Water on two occasions more recently and that it had been repaired. Cllr Luscombe added that each time it is repaired, the pipe leaks further up (away from the stop cock). Cllr Osborne proposed, Cllr Abbey seconded and it was resolved unanimously that, as a first step, the Clerk should contact South West Water to request that it is repaired again. Clerk to action.
e. Bank on Brook Street: Does the PC wish to contact the landowner to request that the vegetation on the bank is cut/managed to prevent further fallen branches and landslides? There was a brief discussion about the fallen tree last summer and landslide last winter. It was agreed that the bank was top heavy and managing the vegetation would reduce the risk of future fallen branches and landslides, especially in the event of windy and very wet weather. Cllr Osborne proposed, Cllr Staines seconded and it was resolved to write to the landowner to request that the bank is managed. 5 votes for and 1 abstain. Cllr Mitchelmore was not included in the voting due to his declaration of interest. Clerk to action.
