Good question, Jazz. But it's not a site that's particularly close to much of the new housing - unless of course TDC have further plans in that direction...
Thanks Ziggy. Good to see this ended up safely. A massive thanks to the Coastguard volunteers!
Below is the PRoW statement from this planning application, BEE9: National Cycle Network Route 2 (NCN2). Dawlish-Lanherne Open Space and PROW statement. The proposal is for a shared used path wholly off road through Lanherne, Dawlish, and form part of National Cycle Network Route 2 (NCN2).

This definition would not preclude projects outside of the 'heart' of the town ...
The benches have been put to good use in public spaces elsewhere in town, Lynne.
You are quite right, Margaret, we should strive to maintain and improve what is best about Dawlish rather than ape Teignmouth and Paignton. In that way we can attract people here from further afield and grow the size of the tourist cake - rather than merely pinch back a slice from a neighbour.
