Marketing Exmouth as an eco-resort

The seafront at Exmouth is being 'redeveloped':
Futures Forum: Regenerating Exmouth seafront: a posh restaurant and a watersports centre

Process has been key to a very fraught project:
Futures Forum: Regenerating Exmouth seafront: "control of the process will remain with the Exmouth Regeneration Board "

Transition Exmouth has been pushing for a more eco-minded project - and for a little more vision:

Here's their JUNE newsletter: 

Sustainable Exmouth

Grenadier’s Watersports application looks set to be approved by EDDC on 5^th June. We objected on the grounds of unproven claims of environmental sustainability.

The Phase 3 Visioning exercise is underway with Wayne Hemingway in charge. Andy Lock represented us at a meeting arranged as a get-to-know-you event with several members of the Hemngway family business. Hemingway says that he is collecting evidence and setting up an on-line portal for the collection of ideas on the development.

Your UG has given Andy the go-ahead to represent us as he feels most appropriate, in other words, Andy is not mandated to present any particular point of view. Andy has been closely involved for many years in lobbying for the sustainable development of Exmouth. The current process is a vital opportunity to persuade those most closely involved in the direction of our own vision and I am quite prepared to allow him free reign in this.

And from JULY: 

Sustainable Exmouth

So Grenadier have got their planning permission for the Watersports Centre; reluctantly we objected on the grounds of unproven claims of environmental sustainability but I’m not aware anyone took any notice. The vote was 8 for, 5 against with Mark Williamson abstaining because he is a director of the public interest company that will eventually run the facility. You may hear the Committee discussion starting at about the 40 minutes mark in: http://eastdevon.gov.uk/recordings/planning/050618dmcrecording.mp3

Wayne Hemingway’s Phase 3 Visioning exercise is underway. Andy Lock represented us at a meeting arranged as an intimate get-to-know-you event with several members of the Hemingway family business.

The follow up brainstorming meeting on 21^st June was at a time when Andy could not attend but we’re thankful to Anne Marie Culhance for stepping in. This second meeting was attended by a larger number; the attendees split into groups, with each asked to report back one idea, not already aired, for the theme of the Development. Anne Marie's table urged the marketing of Exmouth as an Eco-resort and this concept was echoed by Cllr. Philip Skinner, Chair of the Exmouth Regeneration Board. The next stage in the process is to be an on-line consultation. We keenly await that and urge you all to participate.

Your UG gave Andy and Anne Marie the go-ahead to represent us as they each felt most appropriate, in other words, they were not mandated to present any particular point of view.
