Relaxed planning rules are a 'tragedy for the country'
The Government's relaxed planning rules have effectively declared "open season" in rural areas with councils unable to turn down applications covering swathes of the countryside, the Green party has claimed. It has condemned the Coalition's National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), which controversially hacked back 1,000 pages of policy to around 50, shifting the emphasis to approving schemes deemed sustainable.

No probe into slipway work
EAST Devon District Council has refused to look into whether the firm which built Exmouth's Mamhead slipway is to blame for it falling into disrepair. The slipway, which could cost around £400,000 to fix, at the docks end of the seafront, is the main launch and recovery point for boat users. But it has been closed since last August when erosion of the sea bed below the slipway forced East Devon District Council to close the... -

Westcountry makes 'strong case' for transport cash, says minister
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin says the region is right to demand improvements – but progress is being made. The first leg of my visit to the South West last week, from London Paddington to Exeter St Davids was scheduled to take about two and half hours. But in a little more than 30 minutes, I was already seeing a project that will make a big difference to the region. The £850 million investment at Reading Station... -
Not so sleepy... The seaside resort that could prove a thorn in the Tories' side
East Devon could be set for a battle royal in the upcoming council elections, as the Liberal Democrats, UKIP, the Green Party and a handful of dogged independents look to challenge years of Tory domination. Phil Goodwin gets on his WMN 'battle bike' to see whether anger over a number of recent controversies has put voters in the mood to give the Conservative party a bloody nose in its own back yard... The tranquil, genteel and... -
Appeal for information after young Torquay dad stabbed in unprovoked attack
A TORQUAY man says he feels lucky to be alive after being stabbed in a mystery attack. Aaron Gill, 24, suffered stab wounds to his leg when he stopped to check a car tyre while he was on his way to work in Exmouth. Three men approached him. After they fled the scene, he noticed his leg was gushing blood. He says the motiveless attack, at about 9am on Friday, could have been much worse. Mr Gill said: "I was driving to work and... -
Fears over evidence in councillor probe
CONCERNS have been expressed at the "confusing and conflicting" information issued about a police investigation into whether a former East Devon councillor has committed a criminal offence. Members of the East Devon Alliance campaign group are concerned that as a result of the time it is taking for controversial comments made by Graham Brown to be examined, potential evidence may be lost. Last month, Feniton and Buckerell... -
