Land South of Dartmouth Road, East Allington
OUR DEVELOPMENT
We have acquired an interest in Land to the south of Dartmouth Road, East Allington, as shown in red in the plan below. This site already benefits from outline planning permission for new homes, which means that the principle of development on the land has been established.
We will shortly be submitting what is known as a ‘reserved matters’ planning application to South Hams District Council (SHDC) for 40 new homes on the site. A reserved matters application considers the scale, appearance, landscaping and layout of the proposals.
Before we submit our application, we want to share our detailed plans with the community. We held a public exhibition on 31st March 2026, at which we displayed information on the planning context, our proposals, access and drainage, landscape and ecology, architecture and materials as well as community benefits and background on Baker Estates.
You can view the material on display here.
If you would like to comment on our plans, please first read the material and then complete the questionnaire which can be accessed via the tab at the top of this page. The deadline for your comments is Tuesday 14th April.
We will shortly submit our planning application to SHDC. The Council will then review our application, conduct its own statutory consultation and make a decision on the proposals later this year.
Should you have any queries you can contact the project team via the Contact button at the top of this page.
Our Proposals
We are proposing 40 new homes, carefully designed to reflect local character and meet community needs, along with associated open space, landscaping and drainage systems.
28 homes for open market sale, comprising a mix of traditional two-storey homes and bungalows – a property type that is in high demand locally but currently underprovided for.
12 affordable homes (30%, policy compliant), helping local people in housing need access high quality housing. Of which, 65% will be provided as Social Rented Housing and 35% will be provided as Shared Ownership.
Vehicular access from Dartmouth Road (already approved as part of the outline planning permission).
Provision of a safe and convenient pedestrian link to Lister Way.
Retention of the existing public right of way that runs along the eastern and southern boundaries of the site.
Parking and EV charging provision that meets SHDC’s standards, including generously sized garages to support sufficient on-plot parking.
areas of multi-functional public open space which are integrated within the development, with a central linear space providing a framed view towards St Andrew’s Church.
A carefully designed surface water strategy will be developed. We have to demonstrate to the satisfaction of Devon County Council (Lead Local Flood Authority) that surface water run off rates from the site will be no higher once it is developed than they are now.
Homes will be constructed using a carefully selected palette of high-quality materials chosen for their durability, visual interest and low maintenance.
