Reason for inclusion in Forward Plan: To support the petition received from residents of the Churston with Galmpton Ward and ensure greater protection for local residents against unwanted development on land at Churston Golf Course. To prevent future decisions regarding Churston Golf Course being taken by one person and give the ward residents a greater say in accordance with the principles of localism. To be consistent with the aim of promoting the wellbeing of residents in the ward.

Key Risks: There will be additional costs associated with any future proposed development at Churston Golf Club due to the need to hold a referendum with local residents before any decision can be taken.
