Cttee was held. This \n comprises members of the Parish Council together with Sue Misselbrook, with Mary \n Coughlan-Clarke , the co-ordinator of the Totnes Neighbourhood Plan, invited to act \n as liaison between TTC and Berry Pomeroy Parish. \n 1. The position of the farmers on the Council who are tenants of the Duke of \n Somerset’s estate was discussed. The clerk had consulted with SHDC and only \n where there is a clear pecuniary interest would members have to withdraw \n from discussions. At this stage of the NP this was not felt to be the case, \n However the Chairman, John Mills, one of the tenant farmers, felt that it \n would be better if the Chairman of the NP Cttee. was not linked to the estate \n in this way. Accordingly Cllr Hannaford was elected as Chairman. \n 2. Cllr Nicholls said it was clear from the survey that if any housing was needed \n it should be affordable or social housing. \n 3. Cllr Elliot-Smith said a plan was needed. \n 4. Sue Misslebrook felt there should be a joining together with Totnes NP to \n present people’s views. \n 5. D. Cllr Green advised of the possibility of designating “local green spaces” \n which would be inviolate. \n 6. Mary Coughlan-Clarke said that Totnes NP would only make policy about the \n characteristics of Bridgetown and the main one was likely to be that housing in \n Bridgetown should not extend any further. South Hams can deliver on housing \n allocations without the need for more houses in Bridgetown and the further \n traffic congestion that would accompany it. \n 7. The possibility of some infill housing within the village, as had been suggested \n by several questionnaire respondents, was discussed and Cllr Boughton noted \n that there may also be possibilities at Longcombe, Loventor and other outlying \n areas. \n 8. The possibility of asking Graham Swiss to make another visit to advise was \n discussed but some felt this would be better once some progress had been \n made. \n 1","bbox":{"left":0.095142,"top":0.344847,"width":0.8015209999999999,"height":0.6131570000000001}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
