A £250,000 project to add an overflow car park with 69 parking spaces has been approved despite opposition from some residents. …
… East Devon District Council’s (EDDC) development management committee said it is looking to reverse some of the losses caused by the creation of the Seaton Jurassic Centre.
“Seaton Town Council’s Jim Knight voiced his concerns in the planning officer’s report, calling the decision ‘unwanted and a cash cow for EDDC’.
He said: “There will be more congestion from all the new entrances being allowed on The Underfleet road with severe speeding problems and the loss of a very valued amenity and no proof that it is needed.”
Cllr Knight added that there would be a decrease in the quality of life in the area with the possible increase of noise and light pollution.”
