Developer fined for ignoring rules

South Hams Council has welcomed news of the successful prosecution which finished at Gloucester Crown Court this week.

Cllr Dan Thomas (Lib Dem, Newton and Yealmpton) said: “We hope this sends a message loud and clear that we will not tolerate anyone who disregards planning enforcement notices and that we will take action.”

The council action against Blakesley Estates (Kingsbridge) Ltd, now known as Garden Mill Ltd, and its director John Freeland began in 2021 when they continued building at Locks Hill, Kingsbridge without complying with planning permission conditions.
