A point to bear in mind about care homes and Dawlish is this: There are presently two planning applications that have been submitted that include building a care home for the elderly of some description in the DA2 area (DA2 = Secmaton/Gatehouse/Langdon hospital area). I have seen before outline planning permission be granted for this or for that and in some cases specifically for ...

Yes I agree that this government's philosophy is that we should be a nation of owner occupiers. I do not have a problem with people being owner occupiers - I am one myself! In fact I am all for people being able to buy their own property if they wish so to do. Thing is though, that many young people cannot do that. Cameron is proposing that first time buyers under the age of 40 should be ...

You will see that the median house price in Dawlish in 2014 was £185,000 This is 7.4 times your salary if you earn £25,000 pa And is 13.2 times your salary if you are on a minimum ...
"but must be affecting all users and can only lead to the lane being less safe." So some might say that is even more reason then that the lane should not be open to site traffic. Admittedly other heavy traffic may need to use it every now and then (eg delivery vehicles) but I think "every now and then" is the operative phrase.
Am I misunderstanding something here or is it being suggested that people's private driveways should become public refuges for pedestrians and cyclists.?
There is an article on page 5 of this week's Gazette headlined "Infrastructure must come first, say horrified councillors". It is a report on TDC's Planning Committee's discussions concerning the planning application for a residential development adjacent to Hill Drive and Secmaton Lane and whether or not construction traffic should be allowed to use Secmaton Lane to access/egress the ...
I see from today's Gazette that Devon County Council have effectively scuppered any plans that TDC planners had for the Red Rock Centre to be a community centre rather than have a community centre get built in DA2 as per the original Local Plan.
On the original thread there were a few posts about when and why Secmaton Lane had become partially cycle and pedestrian only. This is what I have now been told. "You have made an enquiry about when the closed section of Secmaton Lane came into force. Looking at the traffic orders for Dawlish it appears that the order was sealed on the 5th April 2002. Traffic orders can be seen at ...
I will be gobsmacked if our MP does anything than toe the government's line. I believe she is now a PPS (don't know who to) so is on the lowest rung of the ministerial ladder and therefore must toe the government line if she wishes to keep her job. "3.9 Parliamentary Private Secretaries are expected to support the Government in important divisions in the House. No Parliamentary Private ...
