” … The application states there was ‘overwhelming support’ at the consultation for community, education, employment and other uses, and that of the two options, the one with more community use was ‘largely preferred’, but says permission is being sought for both in case the second scheme ‘cannot be successfully implemented’. …
… The filing of the planning application follows the site being put up for sale last week – a move the university said was designed to establish market value, adding that it would run separately to the planning process.
REL is continuing its efforts to secure some or all of the site for community use, possibly in consortium with a developer.
The application – an outline application with all matters reserved except access – will be discussed by Exmouth Town Council’s planning committee on Monday. East Devon District Council will then make the final decision on planning permission.”
