Yes, Michael, thank you. Your typically determined, analytical and illuminating questioning really is getting to the heart of the matter. One point though - I believe your understanding of the quantum of SANGS provision at Warren Farm (Q1) is incorrect. The Coastal Park is not, as I understand it, in excess of the SANGS requirement for Dawlish; rather it is deficient to the tune of some ...

BTW, this information was made public on a parallel discussion thread started by Michael Clayson recently: "Can a Local Plan be altered?" For the sake of Richard Weeks and his family (not to mention the reputation of our local authority) to Michael's question the answer most here will be hoping for is, I am sure, yes.

Democratic Services Manager Teignbridge District Council Dear Neil, I wish to call in for reconsideration a decision made; but not yet implemented by the Executive, which  took place on Tuesday, 9 December 2014 , and is contained in agenda item 13 'Infrastructure Capital Programme', to the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

@RobertVickery: Thank you Bob. Good to get your valued insight on this subject. @Kaz : Thank you for digging up the Green Infrastructure consultation public comments, including the Council responses. You will note that the TDC response to Comment 3.6 sidesteps the issue that Dawlish will have a shortfall of SANGS land ( 33 hectares will be required if measured against the Natural ...

Actually JC, it was your sidekick Dorian that I had more in mind when I remarked about unfair criticism. Still, if the cap fits...

Not so fast, JC. While I am a supporter of free speech, I find the sniping and unfair criticism levelled on this website at unpaid public servants, quite reprehensible. When such behaviour is carried out from beneath a cloak of anonymity, I consider it also cowardly. Bravo to those public figures in Dawlish who post here under their own names - they alone are prepared to stand and be ...
