Planning Updates
6 April 2025
Ref: 25/0382/VAR, 25/0383/VAR and 25/0382/VAR.
Combe Raleigh has received a request from Graham Long of Sheldon Parish Meeting to support them on a planning application from Dunkeswell Raceway, we have also received a similar request from Mike Canham as Chairman to the Blackdown Hills Parish Network.
We have not received any formal notification from EDDC asking us to comment on three applications to increase the number of races and participants in each race, and to include banger racing.
Calling a parish meeting to discuss this as a single matter when we haven’t been formally asked to comment by EDDC is not considered to be practical however the Parish Meeting Planning Committee has discussed the matter and will be submitting an objection with regard to the increase in traffic having an adverse effect on the Dunkeswell Road Cross Roads.
If, as a parishioner, you wish to add to that please email me at chair.comberaleigh@gmail.com by the 9th April as the deadline to comment is 11th April.
You may also choose to comment directly to EDDC https://eastdevon.gov.uk/planning/planning-applications-and-information/view-planning-applications-enforcements-and-planning-appeals/
5 February 2025
Rather than call a one item Parish Meeting on something already approved in December, the Combe Raleigh Planning Committee conducted a site visit to Allerbeare Farm on 22 January 2025 to consider the change in structure. They unanimously agreed to recommend the approval.
Following the site visit, an email was sent to the village asking for any comments regarding the recommendation for approval; this had a closing date of 31 January 2025. There were no comments so EDDC Planning have been informed that the Parish Meeting supports the application.
Kind regards
Jill Wardle
Clerk to Combe Raleigh Parish Meeting
