There is already planning permission in place for 75 new dwellings and pre planning application documents are now being prepared for a futher up to 415 dwellings on that site. I note from the planning documents that it is anticipated that a planning application will be submitted sometime early in 2015 for this up to 415 dwellings development. I would like to quote from one of the documents but ...

Okay, if I ping an e-mail off to Cllr Goodey re Warren Farm perhaps someone could send one to Cllr Gribble about the future use of the sports pavilion on the playing fields? Flo?

Thanks for the clarification. So, by the same process of thought, but on a different Dawlish issue, perhaps I (and others) should have been writing to Cllr John Goodey, Portfolio Holder for Housing and Planning at TDC about the Warren Farm/Coastal Park issue rather than our Dawlish district councillors?

Thanks for that update Michael. Great that benches and the orientation board will be up on the fields soon. One question though. Surely we should be approaching our Dawlish councillors to take up Dawlish issues rather than one whom I believe represents Bovey Tracey?

Te dah! A thought from me........why not suggest to our new Dawlish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group #2 that the pavilion at Sandy Lane Playing Fields be made use of in some way. Perhaps some of that CIL money due to come Dawlish's way could be usefully spent on the pavilion? Hole in the Wall? Dunno if it is still operating or not. Do agree though that it is looking run down. Thought that very ...

Re the cricket pavilion. Just found this on another website which was posted by someone called Lynne(!) back in 2009. Lynne 26 September 2009 10:32:45 The Sports Pavilion at Sandy Lane Those of us who frequently go onto the playing fields will no doubt have noticed that the windows of the sports pavilion seem to have been vandalised more over the past 12 months or ...

Totally agree with you Flo about the top of the playing fields having some benches and trees planted at the top. Lovely views from up there. And also agree with regard to how the cricket pavilion might be used.  I have a feeling that the cricket pavilion is a listed building which might create issues as to what can be done to it and how it can be used. With regard to building on Sandy Lane ...
