To allow the Exmo_20 Action Group to hire professionals to prevent the development of land at St John's, Exmouth.
Exmouth has already seen a significant number of new housing developments and retirement apartments. Developments appear to be aimed at rental companies and people migrating into the area, rather than affordable homes for local people. The town has suffered serious issues with sewage attributed to South West Water. Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton lack the necessary infrastructure in terms of emergency services, schools, doctors and dentists, etc., to support a further increase in population. Furthermore, access to the town is restricted on two sides by water, and another side by the SSSI Pebblebed Heaths. The single A road, and alternative B roads, into the town are in our point of view constantly working at full capacity (if not above). The town is also a popular tourist destination which means that population and traffic is significantly increased not only during holiday periods, but also at weekends.
The developer, 3West, are proposing a new development of at least 700 houses and additional employment areas (exmo20.co.uk) on agricultural land to the east of Exmouth, on the outskirts of the town, and will surround the grade II* listed St John in the Wilderness Church. The site has been in the East Devon Local Plan identified by EDDC as Exmo_20. This site is entirely unsuitable, unsustainable, and is NOT shown to be deliverable, for development, for the following reasons:
