East Devon Watch has received a circular from the Marley Planning group who are objecting to a plan for 150 houses (on top of 350 from another developer in adjacent land) off Marley Road, Exmouth. The plan appears to have the hallmarks of a speculative application recognised as being able to take advantage of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) situation. An attempt to have the land included last time around was thrown out.
The planning application is 14/3022/MOUT and objections must be in no later that 10th February. Copies of objections should go to Exmouth Town Council.
For anyone wishing to add their voice to the objections,the Marley Planning Group Campaigners have prepared a draft letter of objection which can be used as it is, or modified as required. Details at this link Proforma Letter Marley Planning Group . For further information please e-mail marleyleyplanning@yahoo.co.uk .
EDW footnotes:
-Readers may be aware that the developer cut down a sizeable ancient oak before the community consultation.
-The applicant’s submitted documents claim there would be no impact on the local surgery, based solely on the fact that the surgery (Raleigh Surgery) still takes new patients. However, we are told that one of the partners has said in the press they could not absorb such numbers without significant resources.

We have quite a lot of problems with new planning applications, along side the lack of the preliminary facilities needed.
Inevitably this leads to an imbalance of the community, overcrowded roads, and crawling traffic.
This situation effects everybody and not one group of campaigners, We need to come together on all these issues.
We also need a spokesperson who will stand up for local residents, and the new independent candidate Clair Wright who if elected will take over from Hugo Swire, will not follow the party line and will vote for what matters most for East Devon.
