It doesn't matter how wrecked a building is, if people can use old methods to restore fire damaged listed buildings that are a bare shells and unsafe, then this restoration project is achievable and deliverable.  It just means that the other housing on site needs to be considered so that the profit from these cover any additional expense which then could be deemed to make the project unviable, ...

I wonder if there is a case for the residents to sue the council for loss of income if the wall's impact does affect tourism? I am sure many would chip in to take on Teignbridge if it does turn out to be an ugly disaster.  Just a thought.

Maybe if Dawlish has something alternative for the kids to do they would not hang around the lawn.  Maybe it is down to the Town Council to aks them what alternative would they like to fill their time.  I remember when the Youth Club was up School Hill in the old infant school, they ran a Wednesday night only for the over 14s to give them something to do in addition to the Friday and Saturday ...

Why do you not ask AMM to publish her views, maybe as both publish in the Mid Devon Advertiser they decided only one needed to make a statement, who knows?  Maybe you could write to her and publish on here her response once you get one for all to see, or she will publish it on her webside in 'her views'.  Either way it would be interesting to get her take on this since her background is medium and ...

The EU cannot control us if we are outside of the EU.  Germany lost 2 world wars, but have positioned themselves with France to take over the EU and the proposed EU army.  Merkel is bold enough to say EU countries are struggling to rule themselves, so it would be better if Germany and France give them a hand.  Once we hand over control to the EU and are at their mercy their army based in each ...

It is a forum for Dawlish, but the last time I looked Dawlish was part of the UK and therefore everything about Brexit affects Dawlish.  So until we reach the 29th of March 2019 people have the right to debate and show concern for the part their town will be playing in Brexit.  Our MP is a Brexiteer and the more we hear about how the EU elite are trying to strip countries of their ability to self ...

Trump and the Irish have the solution this from the Irish Times 27th November 2018 but they have to back a no deal Brexit to achieve it!

Petition Leave the EU without a deal in March 2019. We are wasting Billions of pounds of taxpayers money trying to negotiate in a short space of time. Leaving the EU in March 2019 will allow the UK good time to negotiate more efficiently. The EU will be more eager to accept a deal on our terms having lost a major partner. We will save billions of pounds from our EU divorce payment as well as a ...

b.o.liking and wondering I hope you have deep pockets, why? You seriously need to see the pre railway maps of Dawlish, Dawlish Warren and Starcross, the majority of developed areas were marshland.  There were even flat bottomed boats that brought goods up to the bridge at Secmaton Lane for Secmaton Farm!  This means that anything below Barton Terrace would revert to marsh, as would the Dawlish ...

https://www.ft.com/content/90c0f8e8-17fd-11e8-9e9c-25c814761640 Returning the UK's privatised services to the public This makes interesting reading.  It clearly shows bills would be reduced if shareholder profits were removed.  Also many countries will not privatise utilities because they are a human need.  As you can see in our country once privatised the Government cannot control prices and this ...

Thank you Lynne, but I wish they would sort the audio out, you can barely hear what they are saying, even with the audio turned up on youtube and my laptop.  Anyone else having the same issue?

I haven't seen either, but have looked online just now.  Dartmouth is the nicer of the two, plus it has smaller panes of glass in it, so cheaper to replace if they did get damaged.  The large panes of glass at Exmouth have been smashed three times by vandals so the online Exmouth paper states and each time they are costing hundreds of pounds to replace.  So if there is a new bandstand and it ...

Lynne it took a bit of finding, had to look for the google image before I found the article.  Here is the article web address and I have copied the map below.  What do you make of it? https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/new-road-help-nearly-1000-1167359

I like the dog owners who create street art. I mean they pick the poo up then throw the bag into the hedge and it catches on the branch or brambles and hangs like a Christmas decoration until the bag degrades and the decomposed poo falls back for all to walk in.  Nice!

Bad idea, if drivers in Dawlish did not safely mount pavements then emergency services would never get through, especially in the summer with the holiday traffic.  Also I have seen many emergency vehicles parked on pavements, recently an ambulace was in attendance in High Street forcing all drivers on to the pavement to get around it.  This device would not know if it was an emergency vehicle or ...

Thank you Lynne for making the link easier for others.  I just wanted to point out that the deal is not done and dusted as the Council are trying to portray, they have to go back to the landowners/developers and broker a deal which makes the sites viable.  You can see that there are issues on viability since Langdon is still for sale on KLP Planning's website.  This site was offered just after it ...

At least Dawlish Town Council is 8 Conservatives and 8 others, so decisions will not be a done deal and will be decided through discussion and not by towing the party line. The below was copied from the updated councillors page at TDC showing the political composition now with Cllr Wrigley on the list: Council composition The council consists of 46 Councillors who represent 25 electoral wards. The ...

Just what the town needs to hear, with TDC pushing to build the housing as quick as possible.

It is no joke, Bastins has been one of the best known shops in Dawlish.  Let us look at why Dawlish is on its knees and it is not just Sainsbury's which is the problem.  If I had my way I would dig up that useless wide path beside the lawn and put it back as parking, we must have lost around 20 parking spaces at least.  In the middle of the long wall, now gone, was an access point into the park ...

There is less chance of a play park being vandalised if it can be seen from multiple houses, see the below: http://www.playengland.org.uk/media/70684/design-for-play.pdf 4. Choose a location with informal oversight The degree to which the play area needs to be overlooked will depend on the individual site but in general play provision is best placed close to other facilities where there are ...

What a great idea to adopt a phone box

Here are the detailed documents in relation to the new SANGS. It will take some reading.  Here is the link. http://gis.teignbridge.gov.uk/TeignbridgePlanningOnline/Results.aspx?Type=Application&Refval=16/02485/MAJ

I do not agree monty.  I believe that Victorian or old buildings which are not now up to standard are better off sold for residential development. An example is the extra care home of Daw Vale, which like many building will be expensive to deal with due to asbestos. For a residential developer the up lift in value of the land makes it viable, but for redevelopment it would not.  Therefore, it is ...

It baffles me why DCC couldn't have started lowering the ground further back into the site, therefore removing the need for any steps at all!  It is not like they are strapped for room!  It would have just meant the other path would have merged nearer the mid point of the current path and not closer to the exit.  Bikes are catered for, but wheelchairs and buggies the most likely users appear to be ...

All SANGS documents available on TDC website http://gis.teignbridge.gov.uk/TeignbridgePlanningOnline/Results.aspx?Type=Application&Refval=16/02485/MAJ

This is why the people of Dawlish wanted a new surgery near the new developments, but were the residents listened to, no.  Now all that will happen is there will be more traffic in town and thus causing gridlock.  There is also the fact that there are no designated parking spaces for those using the Barton Surgery, and with the extra people there will be more competition for parking spaces.  So ...

Sorry been working away. The document in relation to Hill Drive contains information sent to the Inspector in relation to the Hill Drive case, it covers the DA2 Framework Document.  The Planning Officer states this: 'Our Executive has now resolved to Adopt the SPD. This decision is subject to a 7 day call in period by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee after which time the Framework will become a ...

It looks like they did not have to provide SANGS, but it is ok to pay for of site provision, but it hasn't happend at Warren Farm. Dawlish Town Council Planning Meeting 27th August 2015 62.4 Money from Shutterton Park Dawlish: The first of the money has been received from Redrow at Shutterton Park Dawlish, 12/0228, under the terms of the Section 106 agreement.

It looks like if people are affected by a Supplementary Planning Document they can do the following: The final SPD, incorporating any modifications proposed as a result of consultation, was adopted at full council on Tuesday 1st April 2014. Any person aggrieved by the decision to adopt the SCI/SPDs can apply to the High Court for permission to apply for a judicial review of that decision. Any such ...

Maybe they could put affordable houses there, so the children will not have to go far to get to school!  Or a new school building and have a split site?  Handy since DCC have ignored the call for another school near Sainsburys.  This means the remaining schools, all on bad roads will have more children and traffic put upon them, causing safety issues.  Will be interesting what they do use it for ...

We are looking at the human aspect, Huffington Post looked at how and what being in the EU does for our animals.  It makes interesting reading: The other piece of EU legislation that has unfairly affected many pet owners has been the Cascade legislation which forced vets to prescribe certain species-specific drugs over much cheaper generic alternatives. If that could be looked at that would be ...

What other landowners could access Secmaton Lane within the DA2?  From my memory of the document handed out at the Leisure Centre all the housing is in a straight line from Sainsburys Roundabout to Gatehouse Farm house, this was the only piece of land that has direct access onto the lane, or am I wrong?

Maybe Teignbridge got the capacity of water draining from the site wrong?  See this extract below: http://docimages.teignbridge.gov.uk/Planning/StreamDocPage/obj.pdf?DocNo=2509764&PageNo=1&PDF=true&nocd=true&content=obj.pdf 08 June 2011 I can advise that the hybrid SUDS / sewered drainage arrangements are acceptable to us. Importantly it is stressed that this is based upon a reassurance given to ...

I guess single track lanes is a reference to Secmaton Lane Ken's favourite subject, since if he can allude to it he always does, ever since the original post on 9th September 2015. As for the traffic on Secmaton Lane, it appears that since the kind residents in the lower lane have chained their drives, those in the upper part are using Little Week Lane so I was told.  I also found out that whilst ...

Shell cove house The agreed affordable housing payment per unit of off site affordable housing provision required under 14/02780 was £53,000. Totalling £159,000 Affordable Housing s106 payment. With 3 additional dwellings now proposed, the revised total affordable housing payment required would be £212,000 as a proportionate increased in the affordable housing contribution associated with this ...

Gary you are correct these things cannot be rushed and mitigation needs to be provided for wildlife, which is a problem at Gatehouse with the Cirl Buntings.  RSPB are still not happy with what is proposed and so that has to be addressed before the site can progress regardless of the residents et al objecting to the new highways proposals which led to the Development Framework being deferred. The ...

In the 1930s, properties at Dix's Field, Exeter and Steepway, Paignton were purchased for use as domestic training hostels for young women. A farm hostel was founded on Langton Farm at Dawlish and a seaside holiday home was opened. In 1948 , the institution was transferred to the National Health Service, and became merged into the Royal West ern Counties Institution Hospital Group, which ...

Lynne, I guess it Mike Nance's home, since the Statue of Happiness is in the garden and the sign that went with her when she was outside of Dawlish Sainsbury's is in the last photo against the wall. http://www.torquayheraldexpress.co.uk/Giant-Statue-Happiness-Dawlish/story-22981093-detail/story.html

I have again copied and pasted it and it takes me to the 'Public Notice and Annual Forward Plan – March 2016', so I do not know why it took you to CIL.  Tried it a few times before i copied and pasted the link, very strange, appears to be working now!
