Great ....looking forward for the Dems to abolish or reduce bin charge within their budget%uD83D%uDE02 D
Unfortunately, once planning permission has been granted, it appears that the Planning Department of TDC don't want to know. I am aware that John Petherick lives not far away, also our Mayor, Alison Foden, is just round the corner from the proposed site. Next time I spot one of the lorries causing a traffic hazard and pollution by reversing up Badlake Hill, I will get in touch with them!
So.......given as I didn't know I did what anyone with access to the internet can do - I emailed TDC and asked them. Am told that the increase was in the April 2019 budget (when TDC was controlled by the Conservatives). The Lib Dems inherited this budget when they took over control of the council in May 2019. So...... t'was Conservatives that introduced the £35 charge in the first place ...
Was £35 when the Conservative administration introduced it in 2014. Now £40 (although still £35 for those able to claim a concession). Don't know when charge got increased.
@ lynne yes got my wires mixed up there about abolishing chard however correct me if i am wrong did they increase the bin charge?
Well, you could contact TDC's planning dept. My preferred option though would be to contact a local district councillor. I'm guessing you live in Dawlish South West ward. You have two district councillors there - Gary Taylor and John Petherick. In this particular instance I would contact John Petherick. Why? Because he is a member of TDC's planning committee and also because of where ...
This is all very well and covers all behinds but who does one actually contact when something is going on which is in infringement of these conditions?
This is what TDC planners have asked for: Prior to commencement of any part of the site the Planning Authority shall have received and approved a Construction Management Plan (CMP) including: (a) the timetable of the works; (b) daily hours of construction; (c) any road closure; (d) hours during which delivery and construction traffic will travel to and from the site, with ...
Which is precisely why it needs to be made as public as possible what the terms and conditions are regarding times of work, routes to get to the site etc. Unsurprisingly I have been known to kick off big time when a planning condition has not been met. Up to others if they choose to do the same but they can only do that of course by knowing what has been agreed and then comparing that with ...
Thanks Lynne, but judging from previous experience with work being carried out in the area, there is a vast difference between what is promised by developers and planners and what actually occurs once planning permission is granted.
