I have found a  newspaper article from November 2019 concerning the potential flood/sea level circa 2050 in the Exe estuary area if sea levels continue to rise. The article shows that land to the west of Dawlish Warren (Secmaton/Langdon/Shutterton) at being at risk from rising sea levels., This area already has had new houses built, and is also where it is planned that even more new houses should ...

Earlier this year I think it was, the town council asked for suggestions for where new benches might be sited in the town. I know I suggested (and I don't think I was the only one) that a bench should be sited on the higher part of Sandy Lane Playing Fields so to enjoy the lovely view. Pleased to say that one appeared some weeks back and this afternoon I took advantage of it and plonked me bum ...

Hope you have now settled in to your new abode @Brooklyn Bridge . Newhay up for sale? If it's old news then I haven't heard it. Perhaps someone with contacts at St. Gregs could pose the question and let us know the answer? and on the matter of new benches being installed......see my new thread concerning Sandy Lane Playing Fields.

From what I understand, and despite all the hassle, it seems we now have some Ukranian guests in the town. Welcome!

I have no idea whether any money was ever paid out to the owner of Seaway by TDC. Perhaps a Freedom of Information Request submitted by someone might elicit some information? The only road I have mentioned on this thread is Warren Road. Are you referring to the unmade road/farm track that used to connect Week Lane to Warren Road? That was open when I first moved here but got closed off some years ...

Isn't it the nature of all party politicial leaflets to be full of claiming credit for this and claiming credit for that?

I've just read an article on Devonlive concerning a village in east Devon and its housing situation. Someone has posted a comment at the bottom of the article which I reproduce here.

This has been made worse over the Covid period ...

Seems that whoever voted Conservative in the last General Election also voted for more houses to be built. This is from the Conservative 2019 General Election Manifesto.  (page 31) "We will continue to progress towards our target of 300,000 homes a year by the mid 2020s. This will see us build at least a million more homes over the next parliament"

I know that a planning application has recently been (re)submitted to build four houses in the garden of 23 Badlake Hill. (see https://dawlish.com/thread/details/47758 ) Lots of objections have been submitted mostly concerning traffic issues. As best as I can make out there is another potential housing development site adjacent to that of 23 Badlake Hill. It is listed as a potential site (although ...

@Concerned any chance you could put photos (large enough for us all to read) of the leaflet on here so that we can all see the wording for ourselves. Thanks

Cofton CHP have withdrawn the application. Seems two planning policies at TDC were contradicting each other. (The expansion and promotion of better holiday facilities vs the preservation of the Undeveloped Coast.) Looks like TDC planners played the Undeveloped Coast card and objected to the proposal on those grounds.)

By  7 votes to 6.

And another thing is that an increasing elderly population may need, to a greater or lesser extent, some support with their day to day living. Which says to me an increase in the need for care workers either within a care/nursing home or visiting people at home. These are low paid jobs are they not? So where will all these workers come from and where will they live given that according to TDC  ...
