Well, that's two Dawlish planning applications in the last two weeks where TDC planning officers have put the skids under development proposals with less than the required amount of Affordable Housing. Let's hope TDC now sticks to its guns - otherwise for every AH that does not get built, 4 houses (1 AH and 3 open-market) will need to be provided elsewhere (given the 25% AH ratio per Plan ...
The application (16/00765/LBC) comes before Dawlish Town Council Planning Committee on Thursday. The previous application to demolish part of the building and to redevelop the site (forming a total of 9 houmes) was considered last year (15/01204/FUL). This is how the Committee commented then: Comment: RESOLVED by the majority of Members present and voting that this Council recommends ...
No problem, Lynne. Link to DNP#2 below: http://www.dawlish.gov.uk/neighbourhoodplan.php If for any reason that does not work, go to the Dawlish Town Council website: www.dawlish.gov.uk and click on the Neighbourhood Plan tab.
Yes Margaret, it is not fair to make such outspoken accusations without providing factual evidence. While I am no fan of 'The Slug' (nor for that matter any proposal to permanently reduce the amount of green space on The Lawn) in all of my dealings with Michael Clayson and Bob Vickery I have found them nothing but helpful, hard-working, open-minded and courteous. Their terms in ...
In the interests of transparency, here are the heads of what was being discussed at the Dawlish Neighbourhood Plan meeting on 5th April (minutes to appear on Dawlish Town Council website once approved at the next meeting on 3rd May): Features of New Housing Developments Water run-off, Permeable Materials, Drainage Insulation, Solar Power and Alternatives Broadband and ...
Apologies. Yes that was 13 for deferral and 1 abstention on the Development Framework vote. Gatehouse was 13 for deferral, no abstentions, none against. Langdon was 8 for approval (Cllrs Austen, Bullivant, Haines, Kerswell, Price, Prowse, Smith, Winsor) and 4 against (Brodie, Clarance, Dewhirst, Pilkington) according to the FOI documentation.
Thanks for the input on tranparency, Viaduct and roberta. Totally agree. Co-incidentally, this is what I had penned earlier today in response to a report that the new TDC electronic voting system at Forde House (which was live-tested to shambolic effect at the planning committee meeting on 5th April) which currently allows the voting pattern of the Councillors to become available via a Freedom Of ...
Money - or profit - will of course be a major determining factor. The price of the land, the build costs, the infrastructure and other site and development outgoings will all have an impact on a developer's bottom line, but market stability is also a factor - as is the size of the land parcels. A large national house builder for instance may have the ecomomies of scale to build more ...
Thanks Lynne. A good opportunity for a straw poll perhaps? Out of these five, who's the best? And who gets the wooden spoon? Points out of 10.
Good question, BEE9. You might expect that with the Portfolio Holder for Planning & Housing, SW Dawlish Teignbridge and Town Councillor Humphrey Clemens, having declared the result of Tuesday's TDC Planning Committee Meeting as 'probably the right decision for Dawlish' at the following day's Town Council Meeting, the other members of the executive would think very carefully before taking ...
