If you read the local papers (which quite obviously you do not), you will have noticed how district cllrs(not the crumby ones you have running the show at Dawlish(they have no power to grant planning permission))make a play on how they are forcing major developers, (and I understand, anything over two is major)to provide more AFFORDABLE HOMES. They talk about 30, 40 and even 50% of any new developments being AFFORDABLE HOMES. So why did the development in the High St escape that rquirement and then when the houses built could not be sold on the open market, there was a private deal to take more than the % normally required? Now I suppose some viewer will ask why I have put in capitals AFFORDABLE HOMES. Do not be sucked into the meaning of AFFORDABLE HOMES. They are just another name for social housing run not any longer by the local authority, but by a housing association or the like. But it is the LA that subsidises it (your TAXES) Now I have no problem with that. The problem I have is the way it is dressed up into making it seem someone is providing houses that anyone can afford. NOT TRUE!
