On this issue of the bandstand replacement. Won't what form and design the replacement might take be restricted and determined by the fact that the bandstand is sited on The Lawn which is within the Dawlish conservation area and that the conservation area, being a heritage area, has additional planning restrictions with regard to new development?

Everything I've read about election purda h says it starts on Monday 30th March 2015. On this matter of VoD and/or Independent councillors. The conundrum as I see it is this.

Agree that a Damian Hurst creation could prove a tourist attraction (can't find anything on the web to say that it has turned around the fortunes of Ilfracombe though). And the Damian Hurst sculpture is, apparently, as controversial as this Mike Nance one. But we ain't talking about a piece of art by an internationally known artist are we?

As Michael has pointed out above, I've just checked, and this is an item on the 2nd April town council's planning committee agenda. PS have just gone through the 2013-33 Teignbridge Local Plan and did a search on TDC's website but can find no policies relating specifically to the siting of public works of art. However, where the applicant is wanting Happiness to be sited is within the ...
