We have a few thoughts regarding this site which is in Dartmoor National Park.

1. There is already a high volume of activity in a small space. There are courses held at this location, horse liveries and livestock all in a fairly small grazing area.

2. Parking and access from the main road.
What we believed was Devon County Council owned layby land has been fenced and gated off. Is this land and access now owned by the applicant? There is limited parking available and if there are further vehicles arriving alongside livery and course attendees this could have quite an impact on the road and visibility for vehicles exiting Moorhaven lane.

3.
How will toilet facilities and basic utilities be managed?

We feel that further business extensions on this land should be fully considered by the appropriate authorities including Dartmoor National Park, South Hams District Council and Highways.

We have lived in the residential property adjacent to the field for 19 years and would like to formally log our queries regards this application.  For context, the plan shows the glamping site to be at the far side of the field and our property is adjacent to the existing stables in the same field.  We have not received any correspondence to date.

Re. Utilities - How will glamping pods be serviced in terms of electricity, water (fresh & waste)? Are toilet/shower  provisions contained within these units? The siting of the glamping units is on the far side of the field away from the current stable building. Assuming the existing electricity and water supplies are at the stable building, will visitors be using these provisions?

Re. The Goat walking business referenced - Goats have recently arrived on site and are housed at the existing stables adjacent to our house. Is this business separate to the glamping site?  We would like to understand if this is part of this application or a separate entity.

Re. Parking and access off the public road. New fencing & a farm gate have been installed across the existing lay-by. Is this access changing? Is this part of the application? Where will parking for both glamping & goat walking activities be?

How does this application formally conform to requirements of both South Hams District Council and Dartmoor National Park which the property sits within.
