I am not aware of any stance except the no sale one. Whether TDC could compensate him at a commercial rate (how would that be determined?) I don't know, but I would doubt it. If the land they want is designated as agricultual land then I strongly suspect that it would be that value they would give him, that they would have to give him. Remember that TDC's money is public money. I'm pressing ...
@Mcjprc - my answer to all three of your questions is "I don't know". There is a limit to my general and public knowledge of matters relating to Warren Farm and an even greater limit to my knowledge of the Weeks' family personal affairs. I can only suggest that you and JC and anyone else who wishes to have answers to questions of a more personal nature, and that I cannot possibly answer, ...
What % of the land that TDC want as a coastal park is grade 1 agricultual land? The best I can do to answer that is this: Warren Farm is 50 acres. TDC is looking at 51 acres in total for the coastal park. 57.3% (15.3hectares) of the site is grade 1 agricultual land.
@ JC 1. If you know that it is for more than a quarter of the year then please do tell us all what, when, and where these non agricultural activities take place. 2. I am talking about Warren Farm. All I know is what my eyes have told me -that the carboot runs from beginning of June through to 2nd/3rd week September. That the Dare devil ride turns up sometime late July through to end of ...
@Mcjprc - from what I understand Mr Weekes knew of the planning application (being the landowner he would have been notified by TDC). What was a surprise was that planning permission was granted.
I said there were many who were amazed at the granting of that planning permission some of whom (including me) thought to themselves "Oh yeah - so what's TDC up to then?" And then, a bit later, when the Tesco planning application got submitted all became clear. Yes I notice non agricultural events going on at the farm as well - mostly during the summer season and then a little later in year, ...
@roberta - ah! yes! i was waiting for someone to mention that. my only surprise is that it has taken so long. The field that is pertinent to what Roberta is talking about is the first one you come to, on your right, as you go along Warren Road from the Exeter Road junction. Note that there is no football ground there. Here's my version of events. We need to go back some time to around ...
@ JC so, you cannot then provide us with evidence to back up that 100% assertion of yours. So why make the claim then? Last month you were also querying the agricultural usage (or lack of agricultural usage) of Warren Farm. I posted this in response (see 12th December on origianl Warren Farm thread) "As there were postings on this thread yesterday concerning farming activities or, more to ...
Size of Warren Farm = 50 acres? http://www.warrenfarmdawlish.mfbiz.com/#
I am not sure of the total amount of land at Warren Farm but I do know that it is no more than the two/three fields that get used in the summer months for purposes other than agriculture. I am sure many who are following this thread would be interested in your giving us proof with regard to the 100% assertion that you make in your post above. I have know idea how much that house would cost ...
