Your point is?

I think it is a really interesting point that the new build is trying to replicate the look of several individual buildings, although I am told it will be just one building inside. Aesthetically, it is trying to replicate the look of the original individual huts, which is to be applauded but questions remain and lessons need to be learned. The judgement of at least one Councillor involved in ...

Who said anything about businesses withering on the vine! If trading conditions are exceptionally difficult then I am not sure how building yet another outlet is going to improve trading, and, if trading is so poor why is the same company building yet more outlets, doesn't really make an awful lot of sense. I am also not sure industrialised is the correct term to use, perhaps commercialised is a ...

Time will tell who is right or wrong re the planning officer and we won't have to wait too long. There are all sorts of questions that this new building on the Warren throws up and a thorough investigation is probably needed.

@Lynne , there are going to be task groups to lead on each aspect of the plan and these will fully engage with the public. there will also be other opportunities for engagement with the public and the chair has made it absolutely clear that the steering group will be seeking the views of the people of dawlish on every aspect of the plan. the minutes of all meetings will be published, i understand ...

Dorian proves my point beautifully! Thank you.

@Lynne , the steering group meet the first tuesday of each month. they will be meeting in april but not in may until after the election. any councillor who is not re-elected or decides not to stand for election will be replaced at the first council meeting following the election.

I believe NWR are awaiting answers to their questions put to the developers and until that information has been provided by the developers, and NWR assured of the viability of the proposed building, then the planning application will not proceed.

But who reported such an innocuous posting in the first place? It beggars belief! Been away for a week and I come back to the usual nastiness on this website, albeit from a very small minority.

@Dorian , I was at the meeting but I was out for the whole day yesterday until late last night. MC posted this morning before I had chance, it really is as simple as that!
