@ JC 1. If you know that it is for more than a quarter of the year then please do tell us all what, when, and where these non agricultural activities take place. 2. I am talking about Warren Farm. All I know is what my eyes have told me -that the carboot runs from beginning of June through to 2nd/3rd week September. That the Dare devil ride turns up sometime late July through to end of ...
@Mcjprc - from what I understand Mr Weekes knew of the planning application (being the landowner he would have been notified by TDC). What was a surprise was that planning permission was granted.
I said there were many who were amazed at the granting of that planning permission some of whom (including me) thought to themselves "Oh yeah - so what's TDC up to then?" And then, a bit later, when the Tesco planning application got submitted all became clear. Yes I notice non agricultural events going on at the farm as well - mostly during the summer season and then a little later in year, ...
@roberta - ah! yes! i was waiting for someone to mention that. my only surprise is that it has taken so long. The field that is pertinent to what Roberta is talking about is the first one you come to, on your right, as you go along Warren Road from the Exeter Road junction. Note that there is no football ground there. Here's my version of events. We need to go back some time to around ...
@ JC so, you cannot then provide us with evidence to back up that 100% assertion of yours. So why make the claim then? Last month you were also querying the agricultural usage (or lack of agricultural usage) of Warren Farm. I posted this in response (see 12th December on origianl Warren Farm thread) "As there were postings on this thread yesterday concerning farming activities or, more to ...
Size of Warren Farm = 50 acres? http://www.warrenfarmdawlish.mfbiz.com/#
I am not sure of the total amount of land at Warren Farm but I do know that it is no more than the two/three fields that get used in the summer months for purposes other than agriculture. I am sure many who are following this thread would be interested in your giving us proof with regard to the 100% assertion that you make in your post above. I have know idea how much that house would cost ...
The boot fair takes place early June to end September. The caravan club during the summer. The Dare Devil show during the height of the summer. So.......June, July, Aug, early Sept. at the most. Not sure how you can say that is spring summer and autumn. And, as I said earlier, it is just two/three fields at most of the whole of Warren Farm. Yes I understand there was an application to ...
Because it presupposes that farming land will be available for him to buy near to where he presently lives? Because the agricultural grade of land at Warren Farm I understand is grade 1 and there isn't a lot of that near here?. Because those that own the land considered as other options for SANGS do not wish to sell that land? Also I understand that a field or two forming part of the land at ...
Why on earth are they attempting to do it? Because they have no option. As I understand it SANGS are a requirement originating from European (ie Brussels) habitat protection legislation which is concerned with protecting such places as the Exe Estuary and Dawlish Warren NNR from extra visitors due to new housing development taking place nearby. If TDC do not have such SANGS mitigation in ...
