Land North and South of Chapel Street, Honiton
Development Brief
This Development Brief was adopted as interim Supplementary Planning Guidance to the emerging East Devon Local Plan on 13th October 2004. The brief is intended to establish the possibilities for new development on land to the North and South of Chapel Street, Honiton and provides guidance to developers on the constraints which apply and the uses and forms of new development which may be acceptable or encouraged. A public consultation exercise was carried out and, where appropriate, responses were incorporated into the Brief. In order to test the acceptability and viability of alternative proposals, two different schemes were set out in section 6 of the report. The consultation did not find that one scheme was favoured in preference to the other and therefore either scheme is likely to be acceptable.
The brief site is important by virtue of its proximity to the town centre; its historic land form and position in relation to the Honiton Conservation Area and the number of important Listed Buildings nearby. Access to the site is poor and this will restrict the type of development which may be carried out.
