Great Parks, Paignton - Planning Brief 'A Guide to the Development of a Sustainable Community at Great Parks'

 

 

‘A guide to the development of a sustainable community at Great Parks’

 

The Great Parks, Paignton: Planning Brief SPD is one of a series of Local Development Documents that forms part of the emerging Torbay Local Development Framework (LDF). The LDF will eventually replace the Adopted Torbay Local Plan 1995 – 2011 and will form the basis for decisions on spatial planning and land use within Torbay up to 2026.

 

Great Parks is a residential area to the west of Paignton allocated for further development in the Adopted Torbay Local Plan (Policies H1.11, H1.12 and H1.13 apply). The proposed Planning Brief provides guidance on the way in which the remaining phases of the current housing development should be implemented. It puts forward proposals to secure a sustainable residential development that is accessible, served by an appropriate level of community facilities, built to a high standard of urban design and energy efficient. It also sets out guidance on the way in which affordable housing is to be provided on this site. This SPD is subject to a Sustainability Appraisal.

Key Risks: Failure to prepare the SPD would result in non-compliance with the statutory obligations set out in The Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 and be in conflict with the adopted Torbay Local Development Scheme (LDS). There would be a risk to the ability of the Council to secure a development of an acceptable standard and to deliver appropriate levels of affordable housing in the absence of clear and detailed planning guidance for developers and decision makers.
