These are indeed exciting times for residents of Maidencombe. Following on from the Mayor of Torbay making an historic visit to the village to talk with and listen to views of villagers regarding the registration of the green, I can reveal that submissions from ward partnerships have now closed.
Maidencombe's submission was described by St Marychurch Ward Partnership as being robust and passionate. It had to run the gauntlet of being queried as disproportionate in length and scope compared to other areas within the ward. It is hoped that the St Marychurch submission which includes St Marychurch, Babbacombe, Plainmoor and Maidencombe will be allowed to stand in its entirety as the ward is so much larger than other wards.
All ward submissions will be formulated within the Neighbourhood Plan which should mesh and become operational with Torbay Council's Local Plan within the next few weeks.
The defences against over-development within Maidencombe are about to be put in place. The fight for registration of our green as a Village Green now moves towards resolution.
