Knowle relocation project: District Council planning application for Honiton HQ >>> 16/1292/MFUL

Last week, the Herald let us know about the application by the District Council for its new headquarters in Honiton:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: District Council planning application for Honiton HQ

The actual application is now available on-line:
16/1292/MFUL | Construction of new office block and associated car parking, for new East Devon District Council headquarters | Land Off Gloucester Crescent Heathpark Industrial Estate Honiton

There have been several questions about the move to Honiton:
Specs for Honiton and Exmouth HQs - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow
Costs of relocating EDDC HQ vs refurbishing Knowle - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow
Access to statistical justification for the claim that Knowle is "unsuitable" - a Freedom of Information request to East Devon District Council - WhatDoTheyKnow

And it has taken a long time to get to this position:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: volte face: the District Council will not be moving to Skypark: "Development at Knowle and changes to destination to be considered by cabinet"
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: “We are committed to exploring all options for a possible new office site as well as maximising the values from our landholdings. One option has always been the sale of our Heathpark site alongside that of Knowle and Manstone Depot in Sidmouth and to use the money raised for a new, more efficient and modern headquarters”
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: Honiton "up for sale"
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: the current issues... District Council cabinet to consider its "Relocation Update": Weds 4th June
Futures Forum: The future of Heathpark: a conflagration of issues...
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: moving to Skypark: £1 million
Futures Forum: EDDC Office Accommodation – key decision

And it will probably take even longer:
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: timetable may be subject to delay
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: and 'validating' the application

As suggested very recently:
Relocation to be delayed, say EDDC | Save Our Sidmouth
As schedule for relocation slips, Cabinet asked “Is this project still ‘cost neutral’? “ | Save Our Sidmouth
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: deciding to sell >>> 'overage' and the dangers of selling Knowle short >>> one year on... and further reports

With lots of other 'issues' going on...
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: moving to an industrial estate where 'no-one would bother to attend a Council meeting'
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: and the politics of maps ..... "What I have found most difficult to understand is why EDDC ever decided to base itself in Sidmouth where over 50 per cent of the area covered by a 20 mile diameter is in the English Channel."
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project: the cost of council buildings: before and after
Futures Forum: Knowle relocation project ... What do you get for a £15m refurbishment? ....... part one
