- Retention of of public car parking to a level sufficient to support the town’s shopping and tourism roles, and which is appropriately located to those roles and sensitively incorporated into the design of new development ensuring that car parking does not dominate the street scene.
- Appropriate flood risk mitigation measures.
- A site wide Sustainable Drainage Strategy to ensure that drainage requirements can be met on site without exacerbating water quality issues within the Salcombe to Kingsbridge SSSI and are designed to deliver landscape, biodiversity and amenity benefits.
