Stand Up For Seaton (SU4S)

Community Action for Seaton's Regeneration Area, 80% owned by Tesco - a floodplain on a World Heritage site bordered by nature reserves, tidal river, the sea and the unspoilt town. SU4S is a state of mind - no members, no structure, no politics. SU4S has objected to 2 planning applications by Tesco, including one for a massive superstore/dot com distribution centre which led to the recent closure on the site of 400 tourist beds with the loss of 150 jobs,a gym and pool - all used by locals.

London - the floodplain development

Extract from the BBC on youtube here
Note the bit near the end about continuing to manage the floodrisk. You just can't build and forget.

What are we standing up for?

1. Regeneration not degeneration; a return to the original development brief
2. Community facilities for the whole town within the regeneration area
3. Seaton residents to derive the majority of the direct benefits from Section 106 payments
4. Real public consultation on all stages of the regeneration process
5. A *megamarsh* funded by external sources and not from Section 106 income from the regeneration area
6. The maximum possible amount of affordable housing in the regeneration area
7. The continuation of long-stay tourism on the regeneration site
8. A landmark Visitors Centre
9. A sustainable solution to flood water management in and around the regeneration area
10. A cutting-edge environmental approach to regeneration
