Submissions by individual areas in Torquay have to be registered by the end of this month. A glance at the areas (see clickable link below) reveals that both Maidencombe and Babbacombe come under the St Marychurch ward segment though both will submit a separate chapter representation.
In each 'chapter', the area concerned should examine (succinctly) the needs of the community and what course it takes over the next 15-20 years. Areas for preservation/protection from development should be cited.
Without a submission, there would be an open invitation for developers to march in and earmark swathes of land for building upon.
It is most likely that each and every area in Torbay will put forward arguments why they should not have new housing imposed within their boundaries but nimbyism alone will not suffice to keep the developers at bay.
In conclusion, our submission will have to be a powerful and passionate document to provide a solid defence of our area.
The Maidencombe Residents Association is in the process of preparing our submission.
