Saw some Dawlish faces at the Exeter march and rally yesterday. Go Dawlish!
I've been told that this is known as a 'speculative development'. It's a way of being able to build on land that hasn't been identified for development (see my first post above). Interesting read here from the Campaign For The Protection of Rural England (CPRE) concerning this issue. https://www.cpre.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/LandZpromotersZbriefingZ2018.pdf Here's an ...
