Should TDC sometime in the future put in a planning application to turn Warren Farm into a coastal park Sangs then that planning application will go out for consultation and one of the consultees will be Dawlish Town Council. Now, supposing, just supposing, that sitting on the Dawlish Town Council planning ...

I like being able to speak my mind Huw which is why,amongst other reasons, I'll never stand for election to any council. Be elected and then find myself gagged by pecuniary interests and/or predetermination of planning applications and goodness knows what other rules and regulations? No Thanks.

Just been looking at the committee report. Thought I'd post on here this bit 3.31 This site is sustainable and there is intention by the applicant for delivery this year which will help to ensure that the Council maintains its five year supply of deliverable housing sites.
