"Unlocking Exmouth"

East Devon District Council has issued a public consultation document on the regeneration of Exmouth., including redevelopment of the estuary-side area for a retail supermarket and mixed use development.

The document examines the needs of retailing in Exmouth; the scope for development in the town; how a 'retail led' development could underpin a significant investment in community and recreational facilities that would constitute a major programme of investment in the town.  It also demonstrates in a practical way how the linkage between the Town Centre, Estuary and seafront can be built upon for both the benefit of residents and visitors to the Town.

The consultation period has now ended.  Work has now begun in earnest to process the feedback received during the recent initial consultation exercise on the Unlocking Exmouth proposals.  Plans are already well advanced to take the findings in a series of meetings with key stakeholders in the town, before returning to Exmouth in the Spring with a set of reconfigured proposals for further consultation

Comments were invited on the following key issues:

  • The promotion of the Estuary as the site for a food supermarket
  • The promotion of London Inn as a comparison shopping [clothes, shoes etc]  development opportunity
  • The preferred location for a new leisure centre/swimming pool
  • The mix of uses for the Estuary site
  • The priority to be attached to an interpretation centre for the Exe wildlife and World Heritage Coast
  • The improvement of facilities at Mamhead Slipway
  • The development of the Elizabeth Hall site for commercial purposes
  • The development of the Maer Car Park for residential purposes as a means to help fund the proposed Waterside Centre
  • Opportunities for narrowing/pedestrianising sections of Queens Drive

The consultation took place for 9 weeks from October 18 to December 20, 2004.

East Devon District Council's Executive Board will consider the responses early in 2005.
