Richard Weeks (and Martin Wrigley, Cockwood Residents Association chairman) did a piece for ITV yesterday at Warren Farm. TDC were unable to attend, however it is understood they may be interviewed on camera today. Most likely TV appearance is following the late evening news but it may be worth keeping an eye on earlier local news slots also.

BTW, you should stick to travel documentaries, Judith. Someone who does not know their ass from their equine cousins should not be preaching on countryside matters.

As a matter of fact, yes. Unless my compass has let me down (that's my actual compass, not the moral variety which appears to have gone astray at Teignbridge HQ), it would appear both sites have mobile homes on them.

Just out of interest, one of the least expensive options for a 'Dawlish Avoiding Line' would run through Dawlish Warren, bisecting the new housing area DA2 and going around the back of the town over Dawlish Water.

The land I believe you are refering to is that covered by PP 10/02648/MAJ which, you will note, is similarly conditioned.

So Howard are you saying that the Council Officers have been badly advised?

@Judith Chalmers : I know little about the land owners other than what is already public knowledge. On this matter also, you would seem to have me at an advantage. The granting of conditional planning permission for the planning application 08/02952/MAJ is quite clear in what is not permitted - and what is . I have read it carefully - I suggest you (and anyone else with concerns on ...

@JudithChalmers: You seem to be making a case for the (alleged) transgressor here, rather than for the people you purport to represent. If you look more closely at the planning files you will see exact;ly why these conditions have been put in place. The very serious point of the matter is this: if Teignbridge's own planning rules can be bent with impunity in this fashion, how can there ...
