This may have been my mistake? The NP is now in examination. I’d appreciate if you could let me know if you intend to raise further issues?....Thanks Duncan From: Duncan Smith Sent: 01 October 2020 13:37 To: 'Parker-Stephenson, Stephanie' Subject: RE: Kingston Neighbourhood Plan - Reg 16 consultation Dear Stephanie….I enclose a copy of the response I have received from the Kingston Neighbourhood Plan Group. For your information the Plan is now in Examination. The exchange of correspondence is on the Council’s website. I will add this latest correspondence to the website and pass the Groups’s response to the Examiner…..Regards Duncan From: Parker-Stephenson, Stephanie Sent: 10 September 2020 12:48 To: Duncan Smith Cc: Reeder, Carol Subject: Kingston Neighbourhood Plan - Reg 16 consultation Dear Duncan, Thank-you for sending through the submission from the Kingston Neighbourhood Plan Group. The assessment is broadly acceptable but I would recommend that it is missing a few key details: i. The area of the parcel of land (in hectares or sqm); ii. Acknowledgement that the site is within the AONB and some commentary on whether the site contains (or is likely to affect) the special qualities or distinctive features that are the purpose of the designation. The special qualities of the South Devon AONB can be found listed on page 8 of Annex 4 of the AONB Management Plan - https://www.southdevonaonb.org.uk/wp- content/uploads/2019/07/Annex_4_Special_qualities.pdf. The commentary to be included in the Neighbourhood Plan evidence could simply be a sentence inserted into Section 3: Landscape Characteristics of the Site, to demonstrate that there has been some consideration of landscape and the AONB when including this parcel of land within the development boundary, or a cross- reference to the Kingston Character Assessment and an additional comment in Section 4: Development Potential that makes it clear that Policy KNP2 is the mitigation measure for reducing impacts on the landscape; and iii. A map that identifies where the photo viewpoints are located, the position of the properties identified in the photos (to help with perspective for those who aren’t familiar with the layout of the village) and the position of the public rights of way. I hope this response has been helpful, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require further explanation.
