Update: The government has now backed down on its target of building 300,000 new homes per year and telling local authorities how many new homes they have to build. According to both The Guardian and The Telegraph newspapers (newspapers from either end of the political spectrum), Local Authorities, like Teignbridge, will now be able to build fewer homes than Whitehall thinks they should if ...

What with the all the broohaha going on at the moment about the Hensford Park proposal (see page 5 of the latest edition of the Dawlish Gazette) it's very appropriate that in the same edition, on page 37, is an article explaining why TDC has to build a certain number of homes (central government dictate) and why it is important for local authorities to have a Local Plan (without one developers ...
Yes I know you did Linda, I watched the youtube video of the meeting. But as I feel sure you know as well as me - when push comes to shove it isn't what local people want it is what planning policies dictate and the number of houses each district has to build that trumps everything.

The blurb in the document produced by the design team talks of completion by 2037/2038.

When the possible sites for future development were out for public consultation in the summer of 2021 Dawlish Town Council submitted its comments. Below is part of their submission. I have highlighted in blue the bits referring to Land at Langdon Farm and Land off Langdon Road. We await to see how much notice TDC planners have taken of our town council's comments. Dawlish Town Councils ...

See below for my thoughts: About two thirds of the land shown as being part of the Hensford Park proposal was put forward by its present land owner for consideration by TDC as development sites in the emerging Local Plan (2020 – 2040). The two pieces of land put forward were: Land at Langdon Farm Land off Langdon Road The third piece of land, the upper part of the Hensford ...
