Yes there are the lycra bikers I agree. But you've forgotten to mention those who have a more laid back attitude to cycling. Those who see it as a pleasurable leisure activity. Like lots of those families on holiday who take their bikes with them or hire when they get to their holiday destinations. I'm sure the likes of Wadebridge and Padstow and their local economies have benefited enormously ...
@ MoH - I'm a bit confused by what you have written as it seems you are saying that TDC was hoping for a CIL of £7,500 per affordable house built. Is that what you meant to say? Can you clarify please? I raise this matter as according to the info in the link shown in my posting above, affordable housing is exempt from CIL.
TDC seeing Dawlish as a CIL cashcow? Whatever next! This link might be useful http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/1897278.pdf%20 at sections 13 and 51 there is reference to the CIL and social housing.
@Duckileaks ; i've no idea why cllr vickery is still so keen. perhaps he still thinks it's a great idea? he may chair the planning committee on dawlish town council but that council is not the one that counts when it comes to making final planning decisions. That function rests with Teignbridge District Council. Dawlish Town Council can only say that it supports or that it opposes a particular ...
I see what you mean about our 'friend' the Conservation Officer. Anyone any idea when and for how long this work will take place? I ask because it says in section 6.0 of the Design and Access statement that "in order for the construction works to be undertaken on site there will be a requirement for the closure of the railway station and the possesion of the railwayline in this location" and that ...
It's a pity that all this very useful info can't be collated and reproduced for the benefit of all those who do not come onto this website but who live in, or visit, Dawlish Chamber of Trade can you help? What about you Dawlish Gazette?
Just thought I'd let you know that I've just received an e-mail from the planning department at TDC in response to one I sent them last week. In my e-mail to them I asked them which organisations have reps on the Steering Group and what was all this I was hearing about the 4th August meeting being 'confidential' and no-one seemingly being prepared to talk about it. The response from TDC planners ...
"Not all voices in Dawlish are heard" yes, I agree, so I ask again - how can that be resolved? It may be me misunderstanding your stance on this matter but I get the feeling that you see this pavilion on the lawn possibility as a done deal? I don't. As I understand it, Cllr Vickery is keen on the idea and presumably there are others who feel the same way. Equally I'll presume that there are ...
Having given this exclusion/involvement issue some more thought what I think may be two common denominators of those who do get themselves invoved in meetings and things is that they have the time (or they make the time) and they have the inclination to do so. Don't think that people who are active in things are necessarily middle class and university educated etc. though. Different ...
Re the dry cleaner deli - I noticed when I was in Queen Street the other day that the shop window is now being used to display breads and other things. Also, he seems to have even more edibles in his shop now than he did two weeks ago. Perhaps it should have a name change from "Proudly Pressed" to the the "Deli Drycleaner" or something similar.
