By on Exmouth, News

A proposed 35-apartment complex in the centre of Exmouth – that would see pubs and a play zone demolished – has been panned as a ‘blot on the landscape’. Town representatives last night blasted the mooted St Andrews Road development as ‘massive’, ‘unbelievable’ and ‘overdevelopment’ – and told district council decision makers to turn it down. Stag Inns (Exmouth) Ltd wants to replace Sam’s Funhouse, The Bank and Number 9 Sports Bar with homes, a restaurant and a café. Part of this is five storeys high. This is massive – it’s going to completely dominate that part of the world…

If we turn this down, we are doing a disservice to the public of Exmouth and their children – Cllr Brian BaileyHeadteacher Rachel Pattison says the…

New Exmouth care home plan fails to win over town representatives as it’s ‘in the wrong place’

0
By on Exmouth, News

Plans for a new care home in Exmouth have been slammed by town councillors – because the scheme is ‘in the wrong place’. Concerns over a lack of parking and its location on a busy street were also raised when proposals for a change of use at 63 Exeter Road were debated last night. Kahanah Care is seeking permission to use the house and its annex as a nine-bed residential care home. The firm already runs the Miramar home in the same road. It is totally the wrong place for a residential care home – Cllr Fred CaygillExmouth Town Council’s…

By on Exmouth, News

Efforts to repair Exmouth’s seafront clock tower have proved a ‘struggle’ to find anyone to fix the niche building. Weeks spent trying to pinpoint an architect or surveyor willing to take on the task of maintenance work has ended with Exmouth Town Council identifying a specialist architect to assess the Jubilee Tower. Until now, repair work to the clock tower looked unlikely because of difficulties finding someone qualified to work on the small listed building. Exmouth Town Council said a specialist survey on the seafront structure can now take place after councillors agreed to fund the report. Some six architects…
