Devon County are 'now looking into' access to Alexandria Road Industrial Estate

At last week's District Council's planning meeting looking at the draft Local Plan, the proposals for the employment land site at Sidford were rejected:
Futures Forum: Proposals for a business/retail park at Sidford are removed from the draft Local Plan >>> to be replaced by new proposals for 'green wedge' between Sidford and Sidbury?

[Although the Minutes are not very precise:
Development Management Committee minutes for 23 March 2015 special meeting - East Devon District Council]

The (connected) tussle over what to do with the employment land site at Alexandria Rd Industrial Estate has been going on for some time:
Futures Forum: The current state of employment land sites in the Sid Valley
Futures Forum: Supermarket saturation point: Is there really room for more in Sidmouth and in Honiton?
Futures Forum: The future of the Alexandria Road Industrial Estate

At the same meeting, the latest on the 'access' to the Estate was raised, as reported by the Save Our Sidmouth site:

New access being considered for Sidmouth’s existing employment site

The long-awaited provision of access to the Alexandria Road Industrial Estate from the Bulverton Road may be getting closer. 

This week’s DMC were told by District and County Cllr Stuart Hughes, that Highways are now looking into it.
SOS has long argued that brownfield sites such as the Alexandria Road Estate should be fully used as a priority, before farmland and other non-renewable greenfield sites are earmarked for development.

Indeed, over the last couple of years, the SOS site has reported on and asked lots of questions on the issue:
