Seems to me that the planning dept at TDC are once again turning a blind eye to the activities of major developments companies. Will be requesting information form them this afternoon regarding the provision of SANGS for this particular development, and why they are not questioning the start of work before this situation is resolved. First street names could be Poland Close or Problemfamily ...
@Lynne Surely this means that until Redrow come up with their own solution to the SANGS issue they cannot start work on site. Hope Redrow and TDC have been made aware of this. Secondly why is the section 106 money not being spent locally.
Wonder how many of the 32 affordable homes will go to local people. Answer probably none. Affordable houses dont bring wealth, prosperity, new businesses or jobs. The only likely benificiary to this latest glorifed slum is going to be Sainsbury's. Why are Teignbridge Council intent on ruining Dawlish?
If and when we leave the EU the fields will have to be brought back into food production. The main reasons all subsidies will cease and the supermarkets will not be able to import milk etc so easily. Maybe it means Britain can start to become great again. Farmers grow food and open farm shops so local people can buy locally instead of 1000s of supermarket lorries pounding up and down the motorways ...
Got to be better than any of the crappy wood huts being built around Gatehouse and Shutterton. At least they have been built properly and didnt arrive on the back of a lorry like most of the new build clones. You want to see some disgusting thoughtless buildings visit the Gatehouse farm area.
Would just like to say a big thanks to all the candidates shame none of you could be bothered to canvass around Shutterton. As for Ted Hockin being re-elected, that has to be the biggest joke of the day. Perhaps someone could list exactly what he has ever done for Dawlish. If the general election results prove anything its that we need to change the system to proportional representation.
@Thomas Your correct about mortgage costs, but I think the term affordable housing directly relates to folk relient on bennifit hand outs to pay their rent. Therefore excluding them from the mainstream mortgage market. As for infrastructure the profit makers i.e Teignbridge Council and the developers dont care about that. The same as they dont care about destroying our green fields, land we ...
Nobody will listen to Green Party politics untill a major global disaster effects the western civilised sector. Even their own leader travels by first class transport as reported this week, now thats setting a real example. Perhaps the party should buy her a bike, then she can get to meetings via the new cycle paths which "arent suitable for road bikes" but cost tens of thousands to construct. ...
Perhaps if we have a way where any family who currently lives and works in Dawlish and who needs the sort of housing Flo is on about for their own family members could register their need we could gauge the demend better. Last time some organisation tried, out of the current population of arounf 13,000 the local need registered was 3. This kind a blows the need for affordable housing argument out ...
Getting a bit fed up of this affordable house rubbish. The facts are quite simple here and the rules havent changed for decades. If you have no job, no money, no savings, and your parents cant help, then no property is affordable to you. Its time people got used to the idea that the times of handouts to all and sundry are over, and its upto the individual to adapt to a life-style they can afford.
