Thought this might be of interest. It is an excerpt from the minutes of the Dawlish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group held 7.6.16. Mrs Pujol is a TDC officer concerned with housing and health. "Mrs Pujol advised that the Government had recently passed the Housing & Planning Act with regulations still to follow. It was suspected to include the definition of starter homes as affordable ...

Anyone know what this is to be used for?

I do have concerns about housing being built on grade 1 agricultural land. I also have concerns about housing being built without the necessary infrastructure being in place. I have concerns about not enough Affordable rental Housing (AH= rents of 80% or less of market level) being built. And I have great concerns about the impact of the 2016 Housing and Planning Act and how that will ...

Should someone tell TDC?

Why are they planning a new visitor centre at the Warren when I thought they had to have a SANGS at Warren Farm so that people didn't visit the Warren. Anyone?

You don't  mean, shock horror probe, that he was taking tax payers' money but not doing his as an MEP?

Conservative MP for Central Devon, Mel Stride has a very interesting article on page 10 of the Dawlish Gazette. He campaigned for Remain. I never thought I would say this but.............I do so agree with what he says. More than that. I have e-mailed him telling him that I agree with him. (!). Do read the article.

Well said Mcjrpc. Well done Webmaster.

TDC knew about the breach of the S106 condition before it was reported in the Gazette (and I definitely know that for a fact). I've just gotten back from Donald Trump land so when I've gotten over my jet lag and we have all gotten over the referendum I'll probably drop TDC another email to see what they say about the enforcement. I did wonder to myself if Redrow had suspended the selling ...

UPDATE ON THE DAWLISH LINK ROAD CAMPAIGN On Friday 27th May 2016, Dawlish town councillors were invited to attend a presentation from the Teignbridge District Council planning department: Simon Thornley, Alex Lessware, Phil Shears, and team. They explained the options for accelerating the building of the Link Road, that we are demanding, that they had explored. Three Dawlish town councillors ...

Yes , just got back from there. It is BIZZZZZEEEEEEEEE

On the compulsory purchase bit of this bill: The government is going to reform the CPO process so that landowners receive today's market value of property, rather than its future value. Which would mean that landowners, farmers, and individual property owners could see their compensation fall significantly under the new compulsory purchase orders. So.....no point in buying farms and ...

This Appeal was on the Agenda at last week's Dawlish Town Council planning committee meeting where it was Resolved that: "Secmaton Lane must not be used for any construction traffic or any access to new houses".

@Taverner . I think you are referring to the Voices for Dawlish councillors who were in office 2011 -2015. I seem to remember a letter in the Dawlish Gazette shortly after they were elected from an ex Lib Dem councillor having a pop at them (or some of them) claiming that they were really Labour people. I have no idea if that is or was true. But I do know that I wrote a letter in response ...

Wonder if any of our district councillors know what is going on?

Is this used for anything anymore or is it just standing empty?

and here is the same info again but perhaps more clearly worded? What is an affordable home? The government defines it as a home for people “whose needs are not met by the market”. Largely, it includes homes that are not part of the private market. Social rent – homes owned by local authorities and housing associations, charging roughly 40pc to 60pc of market prices Affordable rent – ...

More info from the postcard: Bovis are offering a trade in on my current home as part payment for one of their new ones. They will offer me 100% market value on my present abode and sort out all the removals. They will consider properties anywhere in England and Wales (so not just me then ). But........this home exchange scheme includes various caveats (but of course!) including that the ...

note agenda item 9 http://www.dawlish.gov.uk/edit/uploads/1696.pdf

I see from page 9 of this week's Dawlish Post that TDC have adopted the following projects for the next 10 years: * Providing more, better and affordable homes * Keeping the district clean * Investment in town centres * Providing well-designed quality neighbourhoods * Improving helath and well-being * Creating jobs and wealth * Improving travel options * Opportunities for healthy ...

Praps one of the new housing developments could have it as a community art feature

Right, so............that is a plan, as I understand it, giving dates when it is anticipated certain decisions should be made. So....... now the anticipated decision date (17th May) for the DA2 Development Framework DA2 SPD ain't gonna be met. And it ain't gonna be met because the TDC planning committe on Tuesday just gone decided that it had to be deferred and looked at again because of the ...

URGENT INFORMATION Builders’ vehicles and more traffic to go along Sandy Lane and Elm Grove Drive! Devon County Council and Teignbridge District Council are proposing that a right turn from Exeter Road onto Elm Grove Road should be prohibited and that right turning traffic should instead use Sandy Lane and Elm Grove Drive. This will increase the amount of traffic along those roads and will ...

Yes FB I think you are right. I've tried phoning around a few places and also asking in some of the charity shops here and in T'mouth but no-one wants them. Thanks for the offer of a machine to play them on but we've got one, kept so that daughter can play the videos of herself made when she was much younger. We are in the process of converting those videos of her childhood to dvds. I've ...

As there has been talk on here about the narrowing of the A379 main road in Dawlish I thought I would start a new thread about the above. The road at Countess Weir, because it needs widening, will be reduced to single lane traffic for the next 62 weeks so that the necessary roadworks can take place. That road is always nose to tail at rush hours throughout the year and on Saturdays and bank ...

It's what was James's Plantation

Last time I went through Teignmouth I saw quite a bit of new housebuilding. Other than making a comment about planning applications neither Dawlish or Teignmouth Town Councils have any clout when it comes to what gets built or not in their respective towns. That decision making is the perogative of TDC councillors who sit on TDC's planning committee BUT BUT BUT what decisions they make are ...

The delay might have something to do with the Housing and Planning Bill that is presently going through Parliament. As what it contains when it becomes an Act of Parliament might well impact on Local and Neighbourhood Plans perhaps TDC is holding back from making any decisions re DA2 until they know how DA2 might be impacted by this new Housing and Planning legislation.

So.....if the police are short staffed (or any other public sector workforce for that matter) it is not that workforce's fault. Some might say it is the fault of the government for its continual financial cutbacks in the funding of the public sector. Others might say it is the fault of those who voted in the government

Thread already running on this. see https://www.dawlish.com/thread/details/44779

On page 64 of this week's Dawlish Post at the bottom right of the page there is an official notice concerning the above. It talks of a 3 metre cycleway/footway to run adjacent to the A379. It is proposed to remove and relocate advisory disabled parking bays. It is intended to install a Zebra Crossing on Exeter Road at 30 metre north east of Elm Grove Road. The appropriate Order and zebra ...

There's an article about it in the Dawlish Gazette.
