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  ...

https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/councillors-told-say-sorry-say-4442299 (I was definitely not going to post on this thread but then I did an online search of those involved and came across the above.) I am not s aying that I condone any actions that happened at the council meeting in September, but it does seem to me that there may be 'history' to it.

Earlier this year a planning application was submitted to TDC for 4 dwellings to be built in the grounds of 23 Badlake Hill. Lots of objections were forthcoming many citing traffic movement and parking issues. This application has recently been refused. However I note the following: 1) It was refused on the grounds that it would be overdevelopment of the site and that it would create loss of ...

Rented accommodation need not necessarily be someone else's home. It could just as easily be part of someone else's property business portfolio. Secondly, whilst some may choose to live in rented accommodation  others have no option. Their financial circumstances are such that much as they might like to buy their own home they just cannot do so. And on top of that now it seems there is a ...

So........when central government dictates to local government just how many new homes have to be built over a certain number of years, how is this number reached.?Do they take into account the number of actual and potential second and holiday homes in the south west?

If that playing field (The Orchard Lane site) were to be given the go ahead to be developed for housing, then the knock on effect would be to enhance any arguments that all other land put up for development in the immediate area should also be given the go ahead.  That would mean, for example, most of the (presently) open fields immediately adjacent to the Countryside Park being developed. Is ...

I'll tell you what I think. Which is  -  that if that playing field were to be given the go ahead to be developed for housing, then the knock on effect would be to enhance any arguments that all other land put up for development in the immediate area should also be given the go ahead.  That would mean, for example, most of the (presently) open fields immediately adjacent to the Countryside Park ...

Just a reminder

Just travelled back across country from Kent. Kept seeing long queues at petrol stations. Long queues at Sainsbury's petrol station as I write this.

“55% of households put items in the general rubbish bin that can be recycled; including food waste, foil, aerosols, and plastic toiletry and cleaning product bottles and trays. This is where we can all ‘Step It Up’ and help fight climate change by recycling. Recycling currently saves 18 million tonnes of CO2 every year, which is the same as taking 12 million cars off the road. Let’s all ...

Just checked the website and today's (Thursday 16th) car boot sale is definitely on.

@Cat Lover - if you can access Eyes of Dawlish suggest you try asking on there as well.

Might their counter argument be that they lost a lot of money in 2020 so need to make up for it in 2021? Stable/horse/bolted? https://inews.co.uk/news/government-urges-devon-and-cornwall-residents-to-wear-masks-and-socially-distance-following-covid-spike-1172779

The DTC submission (see above) says: “ Some of the proposed sites are classified as undeveloped coast. It is imperative that these areas are preserved from all further housing development ”. One of these sites with undeveloped coast designation is the land west of Teignmouth Road. It is opposite The Smugglers pub at Holcombe, looking across the A379 in an inland direction up to Oak Hill Cross ...

And not only are some of the proposed sites classified as undeveloped coast but in the case of the Teignmouth Road site the area is also part of an AGLV (Area of Great Landscape Value). PLUS, plus........by (presently) being open farmland it forms a gap between the settlement at Holcombe and the beginnings of the settlement (Southdowns Road area) at Dawlish. In the present Local Plan it is the ...

How apt! Just as we are being asked to consider  more house building in the parish so Devon County Council decides to do a survey asking about pre-school child care provision. I'd say Dawlish needs more as we only have the one nursery at the moment and what with all the new houses already having been built, scheduled to be built, and possibly to be built sometime in the future it won't only be ...

This survey closes this Monday (2nd August). Click on 'start' at bottom of first post on this thread to register your views.

As all this proposed housebuilding would end up taking away so much of what is presently open country, it's been suggested to me that the present Dawlish countryside park might become the local place to go to find er..........open countryside. So perhaps the park  could be renamed : " What's left of the Dawlish country side, park". And on its signage there could be little motifs of ribbons. A ...

Application approved.

Well, I guess there are buyers 'out there' otherwise the developers wouldn't build the houses, would they? At the moment (and it has been this way for sometime) the only way affordable homes get built is by way of developers having to provide a certain number of affordable homes per number of open market homes they build.  No open market homes = no affordable housing. * And the developers will ...

See below an extract from an article in the i newspaper a few days back. “.......(housing) supply in the UK is in the hands of private developers who have very little incentive to build out at a rate commensurate with (housing) demand because this would lower market prices. Developers hoard land and wait for it to increase in value before building on it. When they do build, it’s not in their ...

On the subject of Teignmouth, and with reference to another thread concerning the number of new homes needing to be built, (see https://dawlish.com/thread/details/47463 ), whilst it is planned for Dawlish to have another 1000 or so new homes,  in T'mouth the number is but 100.

And oh wouldn't it be such a delicious irony if the value (quite literally) of the ransom strip was effectively wiped out by this recently approved housing scheme going ahead (being built by Templar Homebuild Ltd I believe) and achieving access from a different aspect (albeit at the cost of a 300 year old oak tree.)

Appeal upheld.

I think she was also very active in the campaign (started circa 2013) to stop Warren Farm being compulsory purchased by TDC to provide a countryside park (which is now located out by Sainsbury's). Don't know what her stance was on the location of the Dawlish supermarket battle (circa 2007/8/9). Which isn't to say that she wasn't involved but just that I can't remember her being so. I was. ...

To return to the original subject in the first post of this thread - how can we support the NHS? I imagine that means how can we, as individuals, help support, right now, in this present time, the NHS? Well, how about doing whatever we can to avoid becoming a Covid patient? Here are some thoughts (and no apologies if it sounds preachy - the question was asked and I am giving some answers). ...

The government announced late last month (Dec. 2020) that it will not now be proceeding with these proposals.

See my very first post on this thread - last sentence regarding owners building an extra storey on properties. Just been looking at an Appeal document submitted by planners at TDC  regarding this issue (see https://dawlish.com/thread/details/47069 ) . This is what they say: (my emphasis in bold). "A (enlargement of a dwellinghouse by construction of additional storeys) of the Town and Country ...
