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 ...

Used this car park today. Haven't been there for ages so what I am about to say may be very old news but I thought I'd post it as I was unaware of it. The parent and child car parking spaces are located on level F. This is the level where the bridge from the car park, above and across the road below, leads straight to an entrance to Primark and thence to the Guildhall shopping mall . This bridge ...

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 dearth of ...

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 that ...

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 start by ...

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 new ...

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 nod ...

@Deedoodle @Burneside Suggest you ask Boris. I was, and am not, the ultimate decision maker. I am only trying to figure out the logic (assuming of course that there was/is some).  But it does seem from news reports from around the world that COVID infected patients were/are given priority in terms of hospital treatment. Ps Get vaccinated, keep wearing the masks and keeping your distance.

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 ...

@Cassandra - yes I know. But that doesn't mean there isn't any demand for them - which is the point I am trying to make about the housing that gets built not necessarily being the housing that is needed/wanted. @FredBassett - not sure how local people can be defined as living in Bristol and Birmingham. Here's an extract from the newspaper article referred to in the first post on this thread: "For ...

Just got back from a few days in Cornwall. Boy was it biz -zee. Lots and lots of people. Gawd knows what it will be like during the school summer holidays. Not at all surprised that there has been a surge in Covid cases in the county with cases having rocketed from a reported 5.6 per 100,000 to 59.8 per 100,000 within a 7 day period.

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.

There is to be a presentation to the town council planning committee (see info below) concerning a proposal to build a new care home to be located on a site near Langdon hospital and (probably) adjacent to the site of the new housing development that Persimmon is building. That this site should be used for a care home is something that has been scheduled on paper now for sometime as it forms part ...

Well, as with so many things in life, what one person thinks is a waste of money another person thinks is essential. Ditto central and local government.

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.)

from TDC's website: "Long-term environmental and public access benefits secured at Dawlish Countryside Park The long term future of award-winning Dawlish Countryside Park has been secured through a landmark agreement which will see its management taken over by national land management charity, the Land Trust, which will safeguard recent public and environmental benefits.

Local government throughout the country, irrespective of which political party (or group of Independent councillors) is in power, has been subject to continual cuts from central government funding for years now.  I've just done a quick online search and found this. By 2020, local authorities will have faced a reduction to core funding from the Government of nearly £16 billion over the preceding ...

Appeal upheld.
