Purrrrrfect's Posts

Up until a few years ago it had a fully tiled roof, but a couple of blokes in a van came along and stripped one complete section and left it open to the elements. Latest appeal on Teignbridge planning website was  (07/00032/REF) against refusal to demolition the existing buildings and errect 12 dwellings with assoctiated parking. I will be objecting on the grounds of over building on a small plot. ...

@Gary Taylor , i tend to agree with you, for a change, on the idea of an old style traditional bandstand to replace the bunker.

If you want to regenerate the appeal of Dawlish to create increased volume of visitors throughout the year and for the money to be spent here. Then you need an attraction that is of practical use. It has already been shown that a World Class bmx/skate park, with indoor and outdoor facilities, would work . A park that would comply with full  official competitions. Sandy Lane is the prime place for ...

Came across this thread from 2005, one of the early ones and started to read it and made me laugh.

It seems Dawlish is at the butt end of the 'Taxpayer funded event'. Although I can see that the idea of not allowing vehicles to stop and off load passengers by the event seems a logical step to keep traffic moving. In reality, because Powderham are not opening their fields, as normal, to the vehicles attending the event the roads are going to be gridlocked right through to Sandy Lane and in to ...

@Mcjrpc - indeed, i'm only trying to emulate someone else of great virtue on this site.

@Sir Michael - i would assume that you are unaware of the drop on the sea wall between dawlish and the warren. in places there is a drop of 10 feet or more and the walkway is only about 8 to 9 feet wide, to the edge with no barriers. Families walking with children, eldery and just normal walker's are put at risk by cyclist's who feel the need to ride their bikes along these sections of the sea ...

ssssnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I've been voting for over 30 years in this country and this is the first time. I believe, the people of this nation have had a result that will actually benefit this country. It is also the first time, after a vote, that those that lost have moaned and bitched so much about the result. Maybe now the politicians will have to work for their pay to get this country back to its former glory. The ...

Might not need recycling yet if we have a 2nd referendom !!!

It seems under E.U. rules that the referendum to leave the European Union was void. Supposedly if the vote is less than 60 percent based on a turnout of less than 75 percent then a 2nd referendum should take place. I don't think this would have been taken seriously if the result was to remain rather than LEAVE. British democracy is what counts in a Bristish referendum by the British people and the ...

@Morty Vicker - yyaaaawwwwwwnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@S - to all your bluster you only have to look at Greece to see an example of the e.u's blind greed to build a superpower they command at the expense of common, no pun intended, sense. Just wait for the more primitive ex Soviet block countries to join over the next decade or so and then you will see crime in this country escalate to a new high. Below is a link to Greece's current debt, which ...

@S , hit it on the head....not!

If it's being discussed by elected officials then the electorate have every right to know. Without full disclosure by our elected representatives I can only assume something is a little whiffy behind the scene's.

I know there was a bit of a noise last time the home went up for sale. It would seem it is now stc. Anyone know who may be buying it?

I wouldn't be surprised if the politicians advise the media to print the following next 'If we leave the E,U, we will be invaded by aliens from space'

@Neoliberal Democrat - if you weren't to up your own about dictating what opinions people should and shouldn't have you would have noticed that the amphibian and whale comments were in seperate sentences. i wonder if i should address you as morty vicker 2!

@Neoliberal Democrat - it would have been worth saving this one for april 1st, bit wasted any other time. why not set up a government training camp, at major expense to the rate/tax payer, to re-educate those stealing pebbles of beaches to steal dog plops left all over the place instead. May be you should be reported for being a sad person!

Was going to go to Sainsbury's this afternoon, but when I got to the intersection of the Co op in Dawlish the traffic to get there was backed up well beyond the bridge over the brook. I went to morrisons instead. Why the ~@~@ this work could not have been scheduled for this winter rather than during the torist season.

I thought the lib dem party was disbanded after the last general election! They had a chance at government in the previous term and seemed to spend it bickering and having tantrums with the conservatives. Well, I suppose even local councilors can get a little unprofessional at times, but once it has been put in writing, no amout of apologies will erase what people have read.

@Gary Taylor - there's no question on this thread about sheds from s! the thread was specific to the 2 semi's stone had put in an appeal for. the info i gleamed on the appeal decision about the semi's was from the planning inspectorate website as can be seen from the link i placed on my post of 19th may 2016 08:58 they were tasked with the appeal decision. it would seem you have posted your reply ...

So, in a nutshell, taking out all the fluff...they are going to declaw local planning departments so that developers can dictate what they want over what the local people do not want. The diamond in all this guff is that it will be easier to complulsory purchase land/buildings that the developers want to demolish/develop. I love the way the 'government' has pledged a £100 billion, they are so ...

If we do exit the E.U. all those British citizens living in Europe will no longer be European citizen's, but British citizen's living in Europe. Can anyone explain if this would affect those Brits living full time in Europe with their own properties ? Would they need to apply for citizenship in the country they have settled in? Would they be allowed to own a home in Europe, as they would no longer ...

Just a shame that there are quite a few outlets around dawlish/Teignmouth that sell bong's etc to the public.

Exeter certainly got their £100,000 with most of the media stating the event as 'Radio 1's big weekend in Exeter'. I would say it's closer to Dawlish than Exeter, but no mention of Teignbridge who also coughed up £100,000 for the event. Poor show by TDC not to have pushed for a mention in the media of our participation in financing the event.

What justification is there in supplying people with free/low cost housing just because the say they cannot afford to buy a house? Look how well the council house plan went over the decades. It just became one big giveaway by local authorities to make a few quid and slime out of their responsibilities. As Barbarawil68 quite clearly and rightly points out. Those that are spending hundreds of ...

National cycle network route 2 (ncn2). Dawlish-Lanherne. Application for the reduction of the wall and the trief kerbs! https://planning.devon.gov.uk/PlanDisp.aspx?AppNo=DCC/3831/2016

@Morty Vicker - just go away. you do nothing but destroy the positive attitude of people who view and contribute on this site. How many times do you need to be told you are not welcome with the nasty attitude you have towards those that enjoy a good constructive post on this site

TDC's seems as much use as a chocolate tea pot when it comes to putting the local people first and being positive in creating a tourist location visitors will like to come back year after year. There are less and less places to sit in Dawlish and teignmouth. There seems to be a plan to take out as many places for people to comfortably sit down. A few examples:- the shelter, taken down, because it ...

Dawlish link road delivery options (final report) March 2016 https://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=46830&p=0

@Lynne - from appendix b. you have a total of 86 dwellings titled 'sample of properties sold since jan 2014'. i note a total of 86 dwellings with the most expensive being £351,950 and the cheapest at £77k. on breakdown you have 28 under £200k and of that only 2 under £150. for new developments praised for resolving the local peoples housing problem, i think not. I don't belive the majority of ...

I think it is 75 not 73 based on teignbridge planning website. They show 73 on the left of the junction and 75 on the right as you face sandy lane. Also it looks as though the garage has been converted to a living area. I believe you require change of use for that and I cannot see an application for that, for 75. I think you would need to submit a retrospective application if you bought the ...

Pics I took walking along Teignmouth sea wall this a.m.

@roberta -your post 08 april 2016 15:36 - it's not your place to decide, for others, when to stop discussing, debating, communicating about any thread on this site. if people wish to continue airing their thoughts, that is their right. why should we 'bury this thread' a significant amount of local money has been wasted at a time when the council is shouting poverty and running down essential ...

@flo - thanks for the link. i think this story sums up the planning dept in a nutshell. a tourist feature good enough to get backing by locals and traders turned down. although numerous major housing developments approved with little, if any, fore thought for access, utilities and infrastructure. way to go tdc planning dept.

17 previous convictions for burglary, convicted on 2 further charges....6 years and out in 2! How many lives has this individual destroyed through his law breaking? I wonder what he will do when he gets released, uhm!

@Lynne - petitiion currently unavailable as it is being checked to make sure that it meets the petition standards before being published, although 5 people have already signed it...strange.

The following link takes you to the Teignbridge planning department and a new application for the yard at the end of Meadow Park to have change of use to a dwelling. This is in addition to the 2 dwellings that are currently under appeal that are within a few yards of this new application:- http://gis.teignbridge.gov.uk/TeignbridgePlanningOnline/Results.aspx?Type=Application&Refval=16/00762/NPA

Interesting reading looking back to 2011.
