I would like to know that one too Lynne. I see that Langdon 15/02700/MAJ has received a letter from the Biodversity Officer and within it, it states: •The developer hasn’t proposed alternative mitigation, so presumably they are happy to make a financial contribution, in line with the Joint Approach, towards provision of non-infrastructure recreation mitigation measures. This will be £804 ...

I think all of Dawlish needs to be delayed until everything has been resolved.  This includes all of the DA2, since we have enough development with all those passed up by Gatehouse School and now next to Sainsbury's for a few years.  Just a thought, since the Langdon application is being run by the people who got planning at what is Sandpipers and Buntings, both outside of the DA2/Local Plan, they ...

If Dawlish Town doesn't challenge the expansion of the Langdon site then how many more houses are they going to put there. The Hospital have already the benefit of 2 hectares of employment land moved outside of the DA2 so they can put more housing on their land, how do we know they will not move the remaining hectare off site for even more houses.  What guarantees have we, since there is no ...

It's Secmaton Farm and I think that is the owner of Lady's Mile?  Can anyone confirm this.

Soulof Dawlish about you comments below: For information, below Dawlish Town Council's response to the NW Secmaton Lane Draft Development Framework Public Consultation item on last Wednesday's meeting agenda: 1                      the infrastructure, particularly the link road, needs to be constructed before the houses are built; 2                      Secmaton Lane must not be ...

The head of TalkTalk says she has had an email demanding a ransom from a group purporting to be behind the cyber-attack suffered by the company. Chief executive Dido Harding said she did not know whether the ransom email was genuine. The phone and broadband provider said personal and banking details of up to four million customers may have been accessed in the "significant" attack. The ...

Sainsburys roundabout
22 Oct 2015

The Highway code clearly says for the Sainsbury's roundabout turning left and straight ahead keep in the left lane. There is a video demonstration to show this.  However, I do not think you would get 2 cars side by side going around our roundabout, or anything larger!  So maybe the roundabout lanes need increasing for safety reasons. ...

FredBassett is so right, if you do try and use the right hand lane you find you are at the wong angle to go around it.  What DCC need to do is create a slip road like at Alphington Sainsbury's and put a bollard in a triangle to force vehicles into the correct position to actually use the roundabout safely, at present it is badly designed.

A friend of mine lives at Trusham and was at the meeting to Save the Cridford pub.  It was quite interesting the Dawlish case, but one concern was that all the landowners had to contribute to the link road and the bridge and without all of them then neither would be built. She also said that the meeting was to decide if the land was suitable for planning and the access was not up for discussion as ...

Thanks for that, Ken.  What if they do not get planning?  What will they do with the land then? Someone I knew was turned down some years ago and applied to have a pig farm on his land and got planning for that instead.  The council couldn't object since he was carrying out a farming activity off of a country lane on agricultural land.  I am not saying it will happen in this case, but it makes you ...
