No localism was a dream, one that I wanted too, we should be able to decide what is best for our community, all I can see is it is damage limitation. This is the only field facing East so the services will have to link to the existing lane, where as the rest all face west so all their services will be directed that way. I contacted a friend in South West Water and she asked someone she knows and ...
Can I raise one point I don't hear any other residents writing or campaigning regarding Secmaton Lane apart from the vocal 4 and their partners. Their points are partly valid, however I get a feeling it is NIMBYism, they have their homes and just because it is spoiling their view, which you do not buy with the house, they are denying others their chance to have their home. Highways have no ...
However, it might not be in for a while, since the Housing and Planning Bill 2015-16 hasn't had its second reading and no date is set yet and until the Bill is through all remains the same. See http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2015-16/housingandplanning.html.
Remember there is a ratio of 1:4 affordable housing whatever they build for the open market. So there maybe more open market housing, but the affordable housing will increase also, so it is better use of land and at least they are providing for the older generation/disabled etc and not just focusing on the young in Dawlish!
Right there is something I have just noticed. Gatehouse have applied for an Extra Care unit (see below) replacing Daw Vale and Langdon a Care Home, much needed since so many have closed in Dawlish. So they are both different provisions, therefore do not conflict with each other. The Extra Care Units are basically warden controlled flats and as we all know care homes you pay to live in a room ...
I think it is going back to the old days when councils, built and ran their own housing stock. They are promoting Self Build, so why can't they use the same principle to build houses themselves for social rent, as it is meant to be 10-20% cheaper this way. Employ local builders/tradesmen who haven't got shareholders to consider and actually put money back into the local economy at the same time.
I agree Lynne, it is dreadful what they are doing to the owner of Warren Farm. I feel the the park should be close to the new houses like many others in town, and I am hoping that the temporary SANGS, will eventually be made permanent. Right, back to the official stance regarding Secmaton Lane. I think this clarifies what part of Secmaton Lane is classed as the Cycle/Pedestrian area and ...
I take exception to that remark about the rat run, I like many others were not in living in Dawlish when the road was closed, so cannot comment. Secmaton Lane area has always been known as the posh end of town I have been told and since I live the otherside I don't have much call to walk that way. Who knows what school the Warren Grove children will go to, if there is space at Starcross ...
Ken I pointed out the 10's access is opposite Secmaton Rise and not that they can access that way. However, that lane is quite wide and would take 2 cars, so it is a shame DCC closed it off. If it was reopened they could have put a 'no entrance' at the junction where the new houses would access the lane stopping any traffic above that point travelling down the lane towards the A379. That would ...
I haven't found the exact date, but judging by what I have found online it was after 2001 and before this in 2005. I have highlighted the important bit. http://www.dawlishcommunitytrust.org.uk/masterplan/downloads/dawlishhealthcheck2005.pdf Q 19 Are there dedicated/segregated cycle routes linking residential areas to the town centre and to local schools? The second route is from the ...
