Stand Up For Seaton (SU4S)

Community Action for Seaton's Regeneration Area, 80% owned by Tesco - a floodplain on a World Heritage site bordered by nature reserves, tidal river, the sea and the unspoilt town. SU4S is a state of mind - no members, no structure, no politics. SU4S has objected to 2 planning applications by Tesco, including one for a massive superstore/dot com distribution centre which led to the recent closure on the site of 400 tourist beds with the loss of 150 jobs,a gym and pool - all used by locals.

No posting doesn't mean no work!

There may be no posting for a few days whilst we try to see the planning application and assess its impact on the regeneration area and the town. The online version (promised at www.seatonplan.info within the next few days) will not be sufficient for us to see many aspects of the application in detail as some documents are up to 6ft x 6ft maps which will need to be seen as originals. As you all know, the devil will be in the detail. At the moment we have no idea how many copies will be made available for inspection. There is usually one at the Town Hall and I imagine we will all be queuing for that one! We are not talking by the way, about a few drawings and maps - we are talking about possibly hundreds and hundreds of pages of information.

We are awaiting a response from Hugo Swire after our meeting last Friday and Sandra will be talking with the Seaton Licensed Victuallers on Tuesday at their request.Sandra is also awaiting a first response from EDDC about her complaint about the leaking of Kate Little's letter a few weeks ago (before Sandra even saw it herself) and that is due around 6 December 2006.

Much is going on in the background relating to various difficulties that the planning application may cause but it is too early to talk about this as new information comes in all the time. We are still in touch with Planning Aid and the Environmental Law Foundation, who will be assisting us in the next stage of what is going to be a long saga.

If you have anything you want to add at this point, do click on the "comment" link under the relevant posting and have your say.

Hi Sandra,

The only thing I want to say is: if there is anything you want us to do - just ask!

Letters, campaigning, anything.....
