Thing is Leatash that I think many may agree with you, including myself, that jobs aren't going to come Dawlish's way and that's for lots of reasons. But - as far as I understand it - the new national planning regulations maintain that local plans/n'bourhood plans must include sites allocated for local employment. Ergo the Dawlish N'bourhood Plan includes employment sites even though many of us ...
I know the beaches have been closed in the past but as I understand it the legislation wef 2015 would mean that instead of a beaches being closed for a week or so they could be closed for months - hence the potential negative impact on the tourist industry. Lots of house building here, without the local jobs to go with it, would certainly imply that Dawlish is well on its way to becoming even ...
There's a bit about the present sewage problem and the effect on the quality of the local bathing water in this week's Dawlish Post (see bottom of page 2 "Town Beach Warning".) New European bathing water standards due to take effect from 2015 mean that swimming could be banned if the quality of the water does not become cleaner than it is now. So, if the present sewage system has trouble ...
Just thought this website might be of interest to those on low incomes looking for a home locally given that all this open market house building should also bring a % of 'affordable' homes to Dawlish. http://www.southwesthomes.org.uk/Data/ASPPages/1/30.aspx
Well, it may be the case that not all buying these new homes will need a mortgage. Some for example might be selling up elsewhere and moving here to retire/semi retire and be mortgage free. But for mortgage dependant buyers I guess whether or not they can buy here will depend on what the prices of the market (as opposed to 'affordable') houses are. Let's say £180,000 being the cheapest. What ...
The people who are proposing to develop this site are Shutterton Park Ltd (whoever they are). The people who own the land that SPL wish to build on are local farmers. According to the documentation on the TDC website it would appear the owners of Blackforest Farm are the owners of this land at Shutterton. I think Millwood Homes have put in a planning application to alter the type of business ...
There is a public notice about this on page 25 of this week's Gazette. The site is situated south of Shutterton Lane and to the east of Exeter Road. (Behind Sainsbury's then?) Planning application likely to be submitted this summer. To have a look at what is being proposed go along to the public exhibition being held at The Red Rock Centre on Friday 11th May (5pm-9pm) and Saturday 12th May ...
@fannyann Seems MoH thinks the last lot were professional (see one of his postings above).
@User 4549 When you wrote "I dont do facebook, but a friend who does did just that, by sending me the comments" I think you can see how it was possible for me to misunderstand what you meant. But we are agreed that the hacking in fact may not have been hacking but could be cutting and pasting? I am now getting quite confused as to what B.W's grievance was/is. Was/is she concerned that comments ...
If, no, not if, when we get all those new houses built and all those new people living here want to use the train instead of using their cars (as Devon County Council keeps saying they will) I wonder if the ticket office will then be open for longer and more often?
