Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development

there's a newsletter and the latest magazine, although it hasn't reached me yet and so I haven't read it.

 

If anyone has either, and if there's any news concerning this aspect, could they post on here?

 

I (and I'm just a member, no more than that) would really rather that they didn't yet. I want to read what's out there, and apparently there is something out there, before it gets filtered through partial quoting. I'd rather there were a couple of days grace for us members to see it first.

I realise that's almost certainly a hopeless request!

But I've already seen a lot of the response to it around the bazaars, and I haven't even seen *it*.

 

The latest members newsletter and now I see it is on Facebook

 

I received the newsletter yesterday, there could be a slight glimmer of hope but it would seem it is very very small, the S73 application has been withdrawn though

 

Exactly - maybe there is something in the newsletter [which I have yet to receive] - but if you make a statement you ought to quote the source.

 

I didn't even receive the last newsletter, so I wonder whether I'll be able to find out any more than is on the first page of the new one (on Fbook)??

 

..which brings me back to the issue of WHY things such as the Newsletter are not sent to members by e-(mail) if they have it and put on the members-only webpage for us all to read. Instant communication and less scope for rumours etc.
Needless to say, not got mine yet...:-(

 

What is this "very very small glimmer of hope"?

 

In 1558 reputedly Queen Mary famously remarked that "when I am dead and opened, you shall find Calais engraved on my heart". I wonder for how many Trustees the word 'Parracombe' will achieve similar significance?

 

Unfortunately I read this part the wrong way around, there was the possibility of a delegated decision but it carried a high risk of refusal.
The trustees have therefore unanimously agreed to withdraw the S73 applications following professional advice

 

That intrigues me. A 'high risk of refusal' implies a low, but potential, chance of approval, so why not go for that as a 'last resort'? Perhaps because any such refusal would hinder any possible subsequent re-application? It would be nice to learn in due course what the professional advice actual said, but I doubt that will be disclosed.
So.....where, when and how does the L&BR go next?

 

A refusal could have been appealed. However, we had a Planning application which was likely to be refused and were advised to withdraw the application rather than have a refusal on our planning history

 

Better start buying land between Chelfham and Bratton Fleming ...

 

Unfortunate situation .... But learn from situation and discuss situation and then move on with a new revised Planning - especially if Grampian provisions are now not applicable....

 

The newsletter, which has just arrived here in Grantham, specifically states that this is "to avoid a refusal on the project planning record that could impede future planning applications".

 

and that's what Exmoor Associates are quietly doing

 

Is the EA website map up to date? Quite a few parcels of land to buy (c.20 but of widely differing sizes).
What's the total length of Wist - Chelfham? (Too much adding up to do using that map!!)

 

This should help:

Oh. I've just realised you're already using them.
Tip: a calculator app is widely available

 

It doesn't really! I was referring to that map when I said it's way too much hassle to add up some 20+ measurements in metres. There must surely be totals between the various stations somewhere?
