Can anyone at EDDC do maths - and, if not, should we be worried?
Several times recently I have received communications from East Devon District Council which say that Lyme Bay Holiday Village isn't viable and we will be losing only 26,000 bed nights but gaining more than 250,000 day visitors. In fact, Lyme Bay Holiday Village has around 120,000 bed nights per year and, as I have said before, you need to replace one bed night with at l;east 3 day visitors (or 6 half day visitors if they can stay here only for 3 hours?) so the real figures are quite different - so different that it constitutes a major error which should not have gone unnoticed.
It has puzzled me where they got the figure from and today I can reveal it - they got it from the developer's planning application (I have this in an email from Karime Hassan himself).
So, it seems the developer's planning application is what EDDC uses when it quotes figures to the public about the viability of Lyme Bay Holiday Village.
Does this seem just a little strange to you?

Nothing surprises me anymore!
Should we be surprised? It really seems as if EDDC has prejudged the issue here. You have only to look at KH's letter to Hugo Swire to see that he is an apologist for these proposals, and appears to believe all that the developer tells him.
I wonder if he knows who Liatris are, and if he would share that information with us.
EDDC has a duty, surely, to ensure that it is dealing with a reputable,company, and not simply to take everything at face value!
I'm amazed that EDDC officers can continue to show such clear signs of bias and pre-determination.
