@flo - you left out minimum wage!
and then of course there is all that housing benefit money (tax payer money) going to the private sector landlords. Have I got this right? Private landlords buy private property (which overtime will accrue in value = capital gain) meantime the property (ies) are a revenue stream which, if the tenants, need to claim housing benefit in order to pay the rent then we, the taxpayers, are giving ...
Some may remember that back last year an application by Richard Weeks to convert a barn at Warren Farm into an agricultural dwelling was refused planning permission by TDC. That decision is now being Appealed. This link should take you to the appropriate page on TDC's planning portal http://gis.teignbridge.gov.uk/TeignbridgePlanningOnline/Results.aspx?Type=Appeal&Refval=15/00012/REF if ...
What was/is going around in my mind was an art project referencing last year's storm and the iconic image of the railway line dangling in mid-air. Perhaps something referencing that event could be incorporated in any future replacement bandstand designs? (planning policies allowing of course). Perhaps TDC could be checked out on what it would consider okay designs, as per planning policies, ...
Warren Farm (see my first post on this thread). I've just received an e-mail telling me that Warren Farm is still not for sale. So don't forget to ask the Dawlish district council candidates about this!
Because the town council represents the people of Dawlish? And even if it isn't planning any public art projects it might be useful for it to know what TDC's 'line' is on such a thing and then for that 'line' to be communicated to the people of Dawlish? That way we might all know what is possible and what not (funding and everything else allowing of course). That said though, I suspect TDC's ...
This public art idea. I was thinking of how something (but deffo not what is presently being proposed!) might be funded and commissioned etc but then I asked myself what if the resulting artwork were to fall foul of those planning policies that I have posted above. All that time and money and effort and for what? a planning refusal. Might it be that this idea of having a controversial public ...
Did TDC give any reasons for their having a 7 week purdah? I've tried to find out by searching and using various words and variations of words to see what TDC have to say on this matter but can't find anything.
On this issue of the bandstand replacement. Won't what form and design the replacement might take be restricted and determined by the fact that the bandstand is sited on The Lawn which is within the Dawlish conservation area and that the conservation area, being a heritage area, has additional planning restrictions with regard to new development? I've quoted TDC planning policies S2 and EN5 on ...
These councillors comprise the Independent Group on TDC (it has gotten larger over the past four years as I understand some councillors who were originally elected on the Conservative party ticket subsequently left the Conservative group and joined the Independents). http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/article/14041/Independent note that as with any other political party the Independent ...
