Questions about Alexandria Road

Rumours are circulating about Sidmouth’s in-town industrial estate at Alexandria Road.

Here are some of the questions being asked:

  • Is the site fully used at present?
  • Is a supermarket giant interested in buying it?
  • Who owns the ransom strips (land blocking access to the site from Bulverton Road)?
  • Would access from Bulverton Road be problematic anyway?

Judge for yourself, from the following aerial view, and links given below:

Alternatively, they can be seen at the Council Offices, Knowle, Sidmouth between 8.30am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday. If you wish to make any representations about the proposal, you can do so on the website or write to us at East Devon District Council Offices, Knowle, Sidmouth quoting the application no. 12/1847/MOUT by 8 November 2012. Please mark the letter for the attention of the Mrs Anna Herbert and copy your letter to the relevant Parish or Town Council.  You should be aware that any comments raised will become public knowledge.

SO SHOULD THE PUBLIC RE-SUBMIT THEIR OBJECTIONS?

This is the answer received from a correspondent today (18/10/2012) from Mrs Anna Herbert:

All previous objections to the above application will still be considered when the application goes to Committee.  If after looking at the revised plans you decide that you have something else to add then you will need to submit a further objection but if you have nothing further to add then there is no need to resubmit your objection.

MANY PEOPLE MAY HOWEVER HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD!
