Check out the quarter page advert on page 6 of today's Dawlish Gazette. Planning ref 15/02700/MAJ http://gis.teignbridge.gov.uk/TeignbridgePlanningOnline/Results.aspx?Type=Application&Refval=15/02700/MAJ

I've already referred to this on the North West of Secmaton Lane thread but I thought this Bill and what is in it is so important in terms of how it may affect what type of housing is produced and where in Dawlish that I'd start a separate thread. Measures include: New affordable Starter Homes – a new legal duty will be placed on councils to guarantee the provision of 200,000 Starter ...

Deadline Friday 12 noon to be precise. And suggest you submit day before at latest if poss as I've been caught out before (albeit not with TDC) in terms of these deadlines. It is not that you should send your submission before 12 noon on Friday but that TDC should receive it by 12 noon on Friday. The two are not the same.

Thought so.

Affordable housing. There are issues brewing here. Central government saying no more below market rents, extension of right to buy to housing association tenants and emphasis on home ownership. How will this (and more?) impact on those needing affordable rented housing in Dawlish? From this week's Inside Housing: "David Cameron on Wednesday announced councils will no longer be able to ...

Now, compare the newly constructed Carhaix Way with this desription by TDC planners of how the link road should look (when built!). Note that it is to be designed to discourage vehicles from using it as a cut through to the A379. Ha, ha , ha, ha, oh dear I'm splitting my sides "Avenue Specification The vehicular access through DA2 should be in the form of an avenue. ‘Secmaton Avenue’ ...
