Thanks all, have now looked at it

NEW PLANS for a clifftop development in Dawlish that propose a contemporary take on coastal living have been submitted to Teignbridge Council.

Many thanks for the warning.  This is very worrying.  Just out of interest, are your dogs a special (expensive) kind of breed?  Did the police say whether or not they had heard of any other incidents of this round Dawlish area recently?

Just looked on the site, they just as well forget it at present, it's 100% affordable outside cities and towns.  It is like CIL £85 in Dawlish, £200 in rural Teignbridge including villages!  It is just not viable!

Hope they catch the person(s) who did this. I cannot believe no one saw this happen if the time the incident occurred is correct - 12:30 - 3:00pm, middle of the day! If the car is written off you can normally buy it back off the insurance company. The damage to the car looks mainly cosmetic, a new mirror(s) and a bit of bashing on the inside of the roof and you've got a decent car for a small ...

The delay might have something to do with the Housing and Planning Bill that is presently going through Parliament. As what it contains when it becomes an Act of Parliament might well impact on Local and Neighbourhood Plans perhaps TDC is holding back from making any decisions re DA2 until they know how DA2 might be impacted by this new Housing and Planning legislation.

@FredBassett - good points, don't the local/district/county council's get some sort of allowance for the total number of miles of cycle path on their patch. i saw to often the lunacy of these developements in london, when i lived there. they would take an extremely busy road, which always had hundred's of cars parked on it and put a cycle path on it. the cyclist's could never use it because people ...

@ZIGGY - thanks for the heads up, but call 101 what a joke that service is - not fit for purposes. Okay I suppose if you want to sit on your phone line racking up a charge for 20 to 40 min's or more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Checking the reg they show, I know they say 'similar to', but checking car parts websites that specific reg does not exist anyway. Would it not have been better to say ...

What is worse for dog owner's who actually pick up their dog's no 2's is stepping in some that hasn't been picked up by an ignorant dog walker, obviously I exclude blind dog's who I would pickup myself if I saw it doing a no 2. Can't expect the owner to pick it up. What's the green paint for. If they do it on the grass it makes it more camoflauged than it was before, typical council thinking. A ...

On numerous occassions on walking on the path along the edge of the Point car park in Teignmouth. The walkway is obstructed or even blocked by numerous people fishing with their rods, equipment and feet blocking this walkway. I understand why they do it, because it's convienant for them, but for everyone else it's just a nusiance. How about getting some signs up on the rails to prohibit fishing ...

So.....if the police are short staffed (or any other public sector workforce for that matter) it is not that workforce's fault. Some might say it is the fault of the government for its continual financial cutbacks in the funding of the public sector. Others might say it is the fault of those who voted in the government

Years ago I was at a meeting in which a DCC highways chap said to those complaining about parking along Westcliff that it acts as a traffic calming measure in itself. It forces traffic to go slower! My youngest went to Gatehouse and left 11 ish years ago, it was a nightmare then, especially if it was wet as those that would walk or park further away couldn't possibly get wet.  Many times the road ...
