It would also provide car parking for gawd knows how many cars right on top of other people's back gardens (exhust fumes over and over again with people coming and going). It would also be situated right next to the proposed skate park. So more kids and more cars - very clever, NOT. It would also encourage more cars to a residential/leisure area where there are also lots of school students. Also, ...

As far as I am aware MP doesn't think Dawlish should have a supermarket.

(and no I don't live there and no that isn't the only reason Sandy Lane was and is a totally inappropriate site for a supermarket)
