General Discussion
Dorian, I wasn't there but I imagine that the scenario was this. There were five councillors present who were members of the planning committee. When the item concerning the barn conversion at Warren Farm came up Mary Lowther had to leave the room and not vote. That left four councillors able to vote. Two Conservative, Two Independent. The Chair of the Planning Committee would have ...
I have just had an Independent candidates election leaflet pushed through the door. It gives details of three Independent candidates - John Petherick, Linda Petherick and Howard Almond. Thing is the leaflet just talks of the local elections. I don't know if they are talking town or Teignbridge or both. And if they are Independent candidates why are three of them on the one leaflet? And ...
Well, somehow or the other I and others(?) need some indication (an indication of a predisposition perhaps?) as to where the candidates stand on this matter. (Not forgetting of course that even if supportive of his cause, if elected, and they then have to declare a pecuniary interest, then in terms of speaking on and voting on his behalf they would be basically null and void).
The following email addresses and telephone numbers are all already in the public domain either via election literature or via The Town Crier so I have no problem with putting them on here. If you want to try and glean any idea of where the following five candidates stand on the Warren Farm issue then you might like to contact them direct. Suggested questions are: 1.Do they think ...
Are those Independent candidates that you talk about in a position to talk and vote on the issue of Warren Farm at TDC?
It seems to me it has to be plan B as well. How can it be anything other than that when I imagine Redrow are chomping at the bit to get on with house building but they can't do so until there is the required amount of Sangs in place or definitely on the way to being in place? And as it seems there ain't gonna be a Sangs at Warren Farm any time soon then there has to be the required amount of Sangs ...
You have a point Dorian. I don't know if the ones that I know of are the full whack or not. But I hope someone has explained the pecuniary interest consequences to Richard so he knows what he is up against.
for info: Re: Planning reference: 15/00258/REM Objection: This Reserved Matters planning application is in connection with a new housing development that requires SANGS mitigation. There is presently no SANGS provision in Dawlish (or if land has been acquired for SANGS that information is not yet in the public domain). As far as I am aware the owner of Warren Farm which is where TDC ...
and doesn't the SANGS have to be in place before the build can proceed?
"Do you have a caravan (or similar) and where do you keep it". Because if where you (or any others standing for election) have a caravan (or anything else) stored on Richard Weeks's land then you will have to declare a pecuniary interest with the consequence that you will have to keep your gob(s) shut both in public and in the council chamber on any issue relating to Warren Farm. And most ...
