@Lynne - wouldn't want to see long lane turned into a road. i think it's one of the old drovers' paths around here and it would be a shame to lose one of the few remaining walking paths into the country @ everyone else - would be interested to know who put stone there and why
Walking up Long Lane at the back of Dawlish up towards Haldon you'll see a small white stone set in the bank on the left-hand side with what appears to be a Latin inscription on it - looks like "In Semplicitas Veritas" (?). Does anyone know what it's all about?
Sorry about the statistics etc but if someone doesn't do the analysis (which is what the TDC and Steering Group is supposed to be doing) then all you'll get is an unrealistic plan which won't benefit anyone including children and grand-children. At least by challenging what is being presented to us as "fact" we have a chance of influencing the Plan in the right direction. Anyway, you'll be glad to ...
There seem to be 2 discussion threads with similar themes so have posted this on "Affordable Homes" as well!! The nub of the problem about the Dawlish Plan is the conflict between meeting Social Need and producing a realistic, achievable plan. The figures suggest that these can’t be reconciled so something has to give. From e-mail exchanges with TDC I understand that the Strategic Housing Market ...
The nub of the problem about the Dawlish Plan is the conflict between meeting Social Need and producing a realistic, achievable plan. The figures suggest that these can’t be reconciled so something has to give. From e-mail exchanges with TDC I understand that the Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) implies that 40 affordable houses will be needed per annum over the next 20 years, or 800 in ...
Fascinating! So guesswork after all.
@Lynne The link you posted to new TDC document/table showiing proposed expenditure states that new roads will be "integral to development" and have no funds attached to them. So the costs can't be coming from CIL because that is distributed over all the other infrastructure projects in the table.
And here is my reply: Hi Simon. Thanks again for getting back to me so quickly. If I understand the logic correctly it appears that there has been a detailed modelling of the requirements for affordable housing resulting in an estimate of 40 per annum for Dawlish. This figure has then been used "backwards" to project requireemnt for new homes overall - but this is just a notional figure ...
Detailed reply from Simon. This suggests that actually MORE houses are required than stated in the plan (should be 2660 in 20 years) but confirms that the planning is working backwards from the number of affordable homes required (their estimate is 40 per annum for Dawlish, implying that 133 new homes per year would be needed to generate the numbers for affordable homes. Here's what he said: ...
Reply from Simon Thornley: "Hi Neil, thanks for your email. I will try to put something together for you today, but just to let you know it is not an exact science and therefore there is no magic formula on these things. Simon" Let's see what the formula brings.
