Well some people plan a family, others haven't a clue what family planning is. Why doesn't everyone go out and buy a Rolls Royce? Ans: because everyone can't afford one. Same applies or should apply to planning a family. You don't have what you can't afford. Oh yeh! I know we live in a plastic card society, where people thought and still think it buy's you whatever whenever. So if you want to ...

Yes you can!

Unless there are new rules in physics, you can only get a pint in a pint pot. That is the problem with developing more. There is too much in the wrong place. Where ever you try to develop (be it commercial or residential) in Dawlish, the artery is the A379. We all know what happens to arteries when they get overloaded, they call it heart attacks. With roads it is called congestion.

What you need to look at is, the way in which those figures are collated. There are a number of housing societies in the Teignbridge area. It looks impressive for Teignbridge to declare there are a number on their books, (gives them justification to build more). But when the figures are analysed a different picture can emerge. Remember the old saying, "There are lies, Damn lies and Statistics."

"housing is needed". Is that a pipe dream, or do you have the facts? I do not see row upon row of tents full of people waiting to get into a house. If as is proposed, they build for a start 200+ houses on James plantation, where will the people come from to fill them?
