Lynne, The Temporary SANGS site would fall within development sites 2, 3 and 4. I believe sites 2 and 3 are owned by different members of the Jeffrey family, while site 4 is Langdon Hospital / NHS Trust land. Gary Taylor

Yes, I did notice, 1263. It surprises me not a jot that this man would describe a petition that raised 7,000 signatures as having "failed to resonate among Teignbridge voters". After all, this is the same senior Conservative TDC Councillor who described the 1250 signatures raised against the closure of CCTV in Newton Abbot a couple of years ago as statistically irrelevant.

Thank you Ken - a very good precis of the draft document. Despite the gloss TDC have put on these proposals, the fact is that we have yet another incursion into the green fields around our town, yielding a further 100 additional houses beyond the strategic need already set in Plan Teignbridge - coupled with an uncertain timeframe for delivery of key infrastructure and the potential net loss ...

Lynne, I understand that the public consultation will now commence on Friday 4th September and conclude on Friday 16th October. A response to this forthcoming consultation appears on the agenda (item 16) for this Wednesday's Dawlish Town Council meeting, when more details will also be made available to the public.

The Local Plan - or Plan Teignbridge as it is now officially known - having passed through public ...
