The highly controversial planning application to demolish Morrisons, known locally as Potters, is set to be discussed at a specially convened West Hill Parish Council meeting this Thursday 22nd Feb at 7.30pm in West Hill Village Hall.
Please do come along.
Representatives from Morrisons and Avalon the planning agents for the developer are expected to attend the meeting.
The application proposes to radically change this key site in West Hill – decimating the retail space and associated parking – in order to squeeze in 6 houses and 3 flats. With the retail space set to be reduced by more than two thirds, it leaves open to doubt whether a shop and Post Office is even viable. The shop and Post Office are absolutely vital for our community in West Hill as well as the wider area and communities such as Aylesbeare.
It is also really important that residents set out their concerns about this application direct to East Devon District Council.
Full details of the application can be found here: https://planning.eastdevon.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=neighbourComments&keyVal=S6YD4HGHGM400
You can submit your comments via EDDC’s website or by email to planningcentral@eastdevon.gov.uk, stating the application reference number 24/0044.
You can also write to the Planning Department East Devon District Council Blackdown House Border Road Heathpark Industrial Estate Honiton EX14 1EJ.
The deadline for public comments is 25th February.
