Yeah, but if the post office moves out perhaps the new commercial owners will want even more rent then they are asking for now. If no-one can afford to pay what they are asking for why are they asking it? What is their game? And anyone know the name of these new commercial owners?

Olive, suggest you tell Teignbridge District Council about this church land - and also make a big fuss about the waste in as many ways as you can. Write to papers? Write to local Cllrs?
Just thought I'd drop this in........not that I'm mentioning any names you understand but a certain supermarket chain is infamous for 'land-banking' ie buying up land in the hope that in the future it will get planning permission to build.
