EDDC publishes Outline Planning Application

East Devon District Council has published it’s Outline Planning Application on line at

http://planning.eastdevon.gov.uk/online-applications/caseDetails.do?keyVal=M95J5FGH01C00&caseType=Application

SOS will comment on this here during the course of the week 27th August, and will be objecting before the due date of 14th or 19th September. There is some confusion in this date because EDDC publish the date as 14th September in their notice in the Herald and as 19th September from one of their employees at their HQ.

Note that the Application acknowledges that the Application does not conform to the current local plan.

Community Picnic – 22 August

On Wednesday 22 August there is to be a Community Picnic in the grounds of the EDDC, Knowle gardens, between 4.30 and 7.30p.m.
Please try to attend this gathering, and tell all your friends too! We are gathering in a loving and positive way to help the trees there, which are currently threatened with being killed in order to make space for new houses. 
This is a great chance to demonstrate what a wonderful public space the Knowle really is.
The Council has applied for permission this week so your support is becoming critical. By coming to see the trees and joining together in loving Community around them, we can hopefully help to preserve them.
This is NOT an angry protest meeting, but an effort to create something positive around the situation.
Hoping to see you there.

EDDC propose Outline Plan for 30 homes

Some people would like to renovate the Drill Hall and preserve its use as a public building. Having a water sports centre there has been one suggestion, as more provision is required for the town’s youth.
