Ever been had? The owner of Warren Farm has certainly pulled the wool over the eyes (pun intended) of the great and good of Dawlish. I well remember that he whipped up members of this parish into a frenzy over his land becoming a Country Park, due to his claims about his livelihood being threatened. What's changed since? Oh of course, the £s per acre for building plots is waaaaaay more ...

I have been sent the following information; "The Government has told Teignbridge it must build 751 houses a year (they had planned to order 1,532 houses a year!). TDC therefore has to identify the sites where the houses can be built. If TDC does not do this the Government will take over planning at Teignbridge and increase the numbers by 20%. It is important to stress that at this ...

We need police officers to actually walk the beat not just shoot passed in a police car with the windows up a couple of times a week. These ferals use places like Boat Cove and other tucked out of the way places to get up to no good. There used to be a pcso that actually went around Dawlish talking to the kids and adults.

The Old Vicarage,Weech Road: My heart bleeds for those who live near this site. It could have been such an asset to the town and immediate area instead of which it is now, an eyesore of a derelict building. Trouble is, trouble is , it is a listed building and as such it is afforded protection from development. Previous planning applications to develop the site have been stalled by the mere fact ...

Building on land presently used for agriculture (market gardens, farm land). What with the farming industry being under threat from any future free trade deals with mega farming countries like Australia, N.Z, the US, Argentina and Brazil I can totally understand that farmers are looking for other ways to earn a living. Some might use their land to go into tourism of some kind, others might ...

See first post and proposal to build homes on land adjacent to the country park. So if this were to happen I'd suggest that the park would need to be renamed as it would no longer be a park in the countryside but more a park surrounded by houses ( a bit like Sandy Lane Playing fields). There is a planning application presently lodged with TDC from Cofton Holiday Park (see ...
