Last time I went through Teignmouth I saw quite a bit of new housebuilding. Other than making a comment about planning applications neither Dawlish or Teignmouth Town Councils have any clout when it comes to what gets built or not in their respective towns. That decision making is the perogative of TDC councillors who sit on TDC's planning committee BUT BUT BUT what decisions they make are ...

No Probs. Always ask me to explain if I start using jargon that you don't understand. On the subject of which........ DA2 =  TDC planning speak for the area of land north west of Secmaton Lane basically but not exclusively comprising Gatehouse Farm, Secmaton Farm, and land adjacent to Langdon Hospital.

That last link you've given includes a planning app reference (16/00540) which I've just typed into the TDC planning portal and it comes back as nothing found. Are you saying that 16/00540 will be this planning application's reference number?

Just to point out that only those aged 25 and over are eligible for the living wage.

As has been pointed out before and by others - if the number of houses that get built here is a moveable feast, and if there has to be a SANGS provision pro rata to the number of houses that get built near to Dawlish Warren and the Exe Estuary then if the number of houses that get built goes higher than that allowed for in the present SANGS calculation then surely there needs to be more SANGS. ...
