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.

The Terry Dinham website - what a disappointment

So, the developer's "planning application" website is up and running. I was naive enough to believe that it would contain all the documents they put in for the planning application. But no, it's just a "puff" job.

Nothing about the site being a self-contained island in the event of extreme weather, which will need shallow draft boats or high wheel tractors to evacuate people, nothing about how much landfill will be needed before a brick can be laid, no mention of the increase in nitrous oxide levels for the 2-3 years that lorries will be humping it through the nearby villages and the town.

Well, I guess I should have known.

For those who want a full copy of the documents on CD, contact Nick Wright at East Devon District Council: nwright@eastdevon.gov.uk

In the meantime, I will regale you with choice bits from the documents on a daily basis!
