Okay - so in my very last post on the original (and very long thread) I put forward the idea that if Warren Farm were indeed to be compulsory purchased by TDC then it might ultimately end up being a commercial coastal park. Just so as all interested in this issue realise that I have not ventured into the realms of fantasy have a look at this report which was presented to Dawlish Town Council ...
I'll be only too happy to oblige. Webmaster what say you?
Well now.........thinking about it.......when I said that Warren Farm could be turned into a publicly owned coastal park maybe that would not necessarily be the case. Suppose that TDC were to get its way and Warren Farm land ends up in TDC's ownership. Suppose then that the monies coming in from the CIL were not so great as had been anticipated and/or that CIL money planned to be spent on ...
Quite. So perfectly understandable then that farmers (and all other non planning people) won't necessarily understand the implications of their property being eyed up by planners whose aim could well be that the property in question should be used for something other than its present use. In this particular instance for privately owned Warren Farm to become a publicly owned coastal park. ...
so.........to return the subject of the Dawlish Neighbourhood Plan #2 I e-mailed Ros Prowse earlier today asking her questions like where and when would the steering group meetings be held. I pointed out that I was asking on behalf of others as well as myself and that I would let them know her response. I therefore put here, in the public domain, her reply. "Various points: at ...
ITV could still air what they filmed and then read the TDC statement. Nothing stopping them from doing that.
As there were postings on this thread yesterday concerning farming activities or, more to the point, the apparent lack of them at Warren Farm I took the liberty of asking Richard Weeks what type of farming activity takes place there. This is what he told me. "There are cattle there at the moment all steers and some Aberdeen Angus. The sheep in the field are with young lambs. We have around 20 ...
Those who support TDC's proposal.
The issue on this thread concerns the saving of Warren Farm, not any other farm or land (unless the losing of Warren Farm then means the loss of other land owned by Mr Weeks). I don't know if the greenfield site in Cockwood to which JC refers is in Richard's ownership or not but even if it were to be perhaps it is the case that Richard could lose that land to housing and it would not have a ...
@roberta - you could well be right. certainly there is land in other ownership (for example the land where the open market gets held during the summer) that has also been eyeballed by TDC for this coastal park.
