"As to Secmaton Rise nothing is sacred, if this was deemed a good access point by DCC the house would go, look at the people losing homes due to HS2". Yep! So true. The compulsory purchase order reigns supreme., Never, ever, forget that folks! You think your home is your castle? Not if the local authority or central government wants it, it ain't! (example: the owner of ...
Well, it won't be just those living on Bovis/Cavanna using Carhaix Way to Exeter Road will it? Surely it will be those living over in the Gatehouse/Newlands/top part of Elm Grove Road areas who will do likewise? And also, until the link road is built and is accessible for all forms of vehicles, then the more dwellings that get built in the DA2 area the more Carhaix Way will get used by more and ...
Understand it's something to do with differences in datum levels between the two developments. Engineer looking into it.
Thank you. I've just (scan) read the document to which you refer and can't say as I find anything there that answers my questions but the dates that you mention (after 2001 but before 2005) do ring vague bells with me. I've e-mailed DCC Highways department and asked them the why and when questions
Sometime in the not so distant past Devon County Council decided to stop Secmaton Lane being a vehicular thoroughfare around the back end of town - such that part of it is now off bounds to vehicles and is for pedestrians and cyclists only. This closure happened before I moved here so I have no history of when it happened and the arguments that were put forward for it to happen. Can anyone ...
By the way, despite what Cavanna say in their letter (see my post above) about the new extension of Carhaix Way ".........we have co-ordinated the line and level of the carriageway in order that the road will join......" that is not necessarily correct. At least it isn't correct to this particular layperson's eyes. I am not a highways engineer so there may be some perfectly valid ...
Would that be the letter from Cavanna Homes dated 9.1.15 where on page two is written: “ The adopted roadway is taken to the eastern boundary of the development to meet up with the development road of “Secmaton Rise” by Strongvox. We have co-ordinated the line and level of the carriageway in order that the road will join and would propose to open this upon completion of the relevant area of ...
Please can anyone who knows anyone who lives in Carhaix Way alert them to the fact that Devon County Council Highways department regard CW as a through route from/to Secmaton Lane/Gatehouse area to the A379 Exeter Road. The increase in through traffic will also no doubt be felt by the residents of Pidgely Road. The expression rat run comes to mind. Click on this link to see what Devon ...

To paraphrase a certain 1970s/80s tennis player - They Cannot Be Serious! Heavy plant traffic using Secmaton Lane to go to/from those building sites? Have the people at DCC Highways Department seen the width of the lane?
