Planning application granted.

If anyone is interested in the outcome of the scoping request re this proposed speculative development it has recently been put online. To access it, go to my first post on this thread. Click on documents (44). Then click on Decision Notice 13.7.23

But better to be aware of possiblities than not be aware. That way you can take appropriate action. Just checked my passport.  Phew! Still has some time on it yet. But if it were due to run out any time between now and the next twelve months I'd be renewing it as soon as poss. And thinking about Christmas - suggest buying next year's Christmas presents of French perfumes and the like now - cos ...

Are you aware of the consultation regarding the closure of the Dawlish ticket office at the railway station?

This is the bridge crossing Shutterton Brook twixt the Persimmon site and Secmaton Farm so that the road linking the Gatehouse area through to Sainsbury's roundabout can be built. Seems it was lengthy negotiations concerning land in the Secmaton Farm area that has held up this project. This road and bridge were identified as being needed nearly 10 years ago but because of delays more money is now ...

The imminent closure of a children's nursery in Newton Abbot has prompted this post. CHILD MINDERS NEEDED URGENTLY. SEE FIRST POST ON THIS THREAD TO FIND OUT MORE. YOU'LL NEVER BE SHORT OF WORK!

Repeating rumours, for reasons I've explained above I will not do. However, repeating facts is another matter. I've just remembered  this thread, started off by @Likeablerat as it happens, concerning certain Conservative Cllrs during the time of the Conservatives being in control of TDC. Do click on the link and have a read. Trust us we are Teignbridge Conservative Councillors? - dawlish.com

And answer came there none. Which is surprising given as I know for a fact that at least two people standing for election under the VfD heading not only read the posts on this site but also have been known to post on it as well. One under their true identity the other using a nom de plume.

It seems from reading the article that it was/is officers (ie employees) of the council who were/are involved with this apparent intransigence. As I read the story the only connection this story has with councillors is that is so happens that the appellant is one.

Can I just point out that by definition, when talking of averages, there will be figures below the average figure and figures above it. Also, what the average is, depends on how the average figure has been calculated. see http://www.purplemath.com/modules/meanmode.htm

A thread was running on Eyes of Dawlish earlier today concerning child minders in Dawlish. It seems we now only have two childminders in Dawlish and two in Starcross. All four are full.

Text of Cllr Gary Taylor's report to DTC Full Council meeting to be held Weds. 1st Feb. 2023. There will be no additional housing allocations in Dawlish, Holcombe, Cockwood or Teignmouth in the new draft 2040 Teignbridge Local Plan. Having considered all of the sites that came forward, the selected 'strategic' allocations are all expected to be clustered close to Exeter and Newton Abbot - with ...

Despite Dawlish Town Council's request that this planning application be decided by TDC planning committee this did not happen and the planning application has recently been given approval by a TDC planning officer.

Assumes the buses will be running when they are supposed to.

Yes I know you did Linda, I watched the youtube video of the meeting. But as I feel sure you know as well as me - when push comes to shove it isn't what local people want it is what planning policies dictate and the number of houses each district has to build that trumps everything.  And anyway the site was allocated for development in the present Local Plan so if it wasn't that particular ...

No wonder landowners are so keen to have their land identified for development. Just look at the increase in value! “Whereas agricultural land has a value of £8,000 – £12,000 per acre, the same land with a residential housing consent can achieve 30, 40 or even 50 times that value.” https://www.fwi.co.uk/business/planning-for-housing-on-farmland-6-steps-to-success

Venue has now changed to The Strand Centre every Thursday

The building of the bridge is scheduled to start in 2023 ( and hopefully the front end of 2023!). It will link the Persimmon side of Shutterton Brook with the Secmaton Farm side (which is scheduled to be developed for housing but as I write this has no planning consent).  A road will then be built across Secmaton Farm up to the boundary with Gatehouse Farm even without any of the houses scheduled ...

See the thread concerning the Secmaton Farm development planning application 21/02674. It seems that Devon County Council (the highways authority) and the owner of Secmaton Farm must have come to some kind of 'arrangement.' as it now seems that the link road across Secmaton Farm will be built before the land is developed for housing. Development Area 3 = Secmaton Farm "The local highway authority ...
