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 Axe Riverside site - update

A correspondant has asked that we talk about the Axe Riverside site. Here is what we think we know.

The Axe Riverside Company put in their planning application for around 90 flats on their site, 40% of which would be affordable about a month ago - this was reported in the press. They put their plans in the library for people to see and on the hoarding in front of their site (they called it Seaton Quay).

The town council was due to hear the planning application about 2 weeks ago but just before their meeting Axe Riverside were told that East Devon needed more documents so the town council were not able to discuss it because the paperwork wasn't complete.

We assume that this is what is now holding the planning application up. Not sure if the plans are still in the library - they probably are and may also be at the town hall. If you want to be up to date about what is happening, contact the planning department at East Devon District Council or Axe Riverside on the number they show on their publicity material.

Ive just been shopping in Seaton this morning in my local independent chemists (no names, but guess which one!) and overheard that Tesco are pulling out of Seaton! Has anyone else heard this, or can they confirm ?

I too heard this. I also heard that Silk Stocking has gone bust. Another empty shop......

Seems rather unlikely given how much they have spent on the floodplain. However, with so much going for them in Lyme and Ottery perhaps they don't have time for us!
