PLEASE NOTE: EDDC now allows only five speakers for, and five against, such a planning application, despite its designation as ‘major’. SPEAKERS MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE …See EDDC’s terms and conditions, copied here:

• ‘To speak on an application at Development Management Committee you must have submitted written documents during the consultation stage of the application. Please note that any representations received during the consultation stage will have been summarised and addressed in the Planning Officer’s report, and therefore the Committee members will be aware of the points raised.
• You can register your wish to speak on an application from 10am TODAY (Monday 28 Nov) up until 12 noon this Thursday (1st December ), by leaving a message on 01395 517525 or emailing planningpublicspeaking@eastdevon.gov.uk including the following details:

- the application number/address

Due to what many see as starkly threadbare reasoning in the Officers’ recommendation for approval of the application; the number of planning considerations it makes light of; and the controversial  issues at the heart of this major application, a high public presence is expected.
