@ SoD - Welcome back! You have been noticeable by your absence! Talking of May 7th and things. I have mentioned on another thread the issue of pre election purdah wef end of March. There are 6 councillors who sit on the DPNP#2 Steering Group. Do they cease their Steering Group activities from end of March to after May 7th? (assuming of course that they stand for re-election as ...
and this link should take you to the Teignbridge Local Plan http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=41652&p=0 Policy WE8 is on page 58 Policy EN2 on page 61 Policies EN8 and EN9 on pages 67 and 68, Policy EN10 on page 79

Now, I believe that in most if not all instances, planning ...
Just been looking online at the planning documents. Seems TDC are still awaiting info from Network Rail and until they (TDC) get that letter the planning application can't go to committee. Looks like it might be the 8th April Planning Committee meeting.
An example of mitigation (I've removed the planning reference) "Permission for XX/XXXXX/MAJ included the requirement to provide either suitable off-site replacement cirl bunting habitat or £123,000 for Teignbridge District Council to provide cirl bunting habitat elsewhere in the District"

Wrong! Where, just where, did I say that the money would be of the backhanding kind? Are you not aware of S106 financial contributions?
Odds on I'd say.
