maybe it's not a looking glass I've gone through but a rabbit hole I've fallen into......... Q1.   As I understand the Local Plan, the Park is over and above the land take required for a SANGS and is designed to draw visitors away from the Nature Reserve.   Is it still your intention to promote greater customer numbers at the adjacent tourist resort?   How will you achieve both these ...

Michael, I am only reporting what has been said to me now by 3 or 4 different sources. When I first heard it I didn't really give it much credence (still don't) but the point is that I have heard it from more than one source indicates to me that it is 'doing the rounds'. Hence I looked into it. Hence I put it on here. And hence its veracity has now been undermined. I'm beginning more ...

Not sure which council you have in mind Mcjrpc - Dawlish Town council (and all the other parish councils in Teignbridge) or just the District council or all of 'em. They all need money. I'll look up how much the CIL money is but I know it varies around the district, and for different sizes of buildings and for different types of building. For certain types of new build housing I believe ...

So.....to be clear then. Not one Neighbourhood Plan in the Teignbridge area has got as far as being adopted by TDC. All are still in various stages of development.

I was convinced that not one neighbourhood plan in the Teignbridge area had already been Adopted by TDC but got confused by the use of the word 'approved' Neighbourhood Plans (and quoting those places on my post above) on TDC's website. Approved? Adopted? and the difference is? (because I imagine there is one). ...

Please can someone who knows about these things tell us why Dawlish is so far behind ...

?! @JC and MS - your last posts. What are you going on about?( and please, please, both of you don't lower the tone of this thread as well. A family's livelihood is at stake remember. That is why I started the original thread off about a year ago and is why I am still posting on the subject now some 12 months later).

Oh JC that is sooooo funny. I burst out laughing when I first read it and everytime I read it I still do.

Washing machine repair man just turned up. Lovely man - I've used him before as it turns out but couldn't remember his name (thanks Roberta). I now have his card. Machine had worn out brushes. He has ordered replacements.
