Here's a short video about the Bay View Cafe and the struggle to keep it – as the story stands now. Of course things are likely to change and we could just have a pile of rubble in a few months time if the developers get their way so object to the applications to demolish the cafe.

Applications to demolish Warren Cottage and Bay View Cafe: summary and call to action!
Representations on behalf of Bigbury Parish Council to SHDC, concerning recent applications for demolition of Warren Cottage and Bay View Cafe
Valerie Scott, Chair of the Neighbourhood Planning Group, writes:-
I have been asked by the Chairman of Bigbury Parish Council to send to you the representations of Bigbury Parish Council to the above applications. The Parish Clerk is abroad at the moment and may not be in a position to send these to you until he returns.
I will be putting similar objections on behalf of the Bigbury Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group directly on to the on the websites.
The applications are in three separate parts, covering Warren Cottage, Bigbury Bay Cafe and the two buildings combined. Following the same pattern, the PC’s representations are as follows;-
0406 18 PAD Bigbury Parish Council objection to proposed demolition of Warren Cottage
0470 18 PAA Bigbury Parish Council objection to proposed demolition of Bay Cafe
Furthermore, I will try to prepare an article explaining the position for parishioners to enable them to write in letters of objection. Although there are very limited reasons that SHDC can give to refuse these applications ie relating to method of demolition and satisfactory restoration of the site I believe the presence of Japanese knotweed would be a reason to prevent any demolition until it has been fully eradicated or satisfactorily treated. The fencing to be left around the site following demolition is wholly unnecessary. It is not specified in the Method Report or shown on the post demolition plans. In fact the post demolition plans show specifically state that the existing vegetation and boundaries are to be retained. It is only in the letter from Ashfords Solicitors that the proposal to retain the fencing is mentioned. This is also wholly unacceptable as the fencing could be left in place for many months if not years as there is no planning approval in place for the redevelopment of this site.
There is no reason why people should not object to the principle of losing a heritage asset and an asset of community value (ACV). The site will retain its ACV status even if the Bay Café is demolished and the lawful use of the site remains as part residential/part Class A3 (café/restaurant).

SEEKING A BETTER BROADBAND SIGNAL?
The email communication set out below refers to the proposed installation of a new mast at Thurlestone Down which would offer many within the Bigbury Parish, particularly those living in Bigbury on Sea, a better Broadband signal. There will be an individual charge for those who wish to be able to use the signal. The cost is not yet known and depends on the number of users. However you can register interest without commitment by placing your details on the Bush Broadband website which is:
https://www.bushbroadband.com/index.php?view=register_customer
or telephone 0757 656 4242.
Both Thurlestone and Bigbury Parish Councils have agreed in principle to pay towards the cost of the installation of this mast and we are not expecting the cost for individual users to be particularly high. The map shown on the following link shows the likely coverage – Thurlestone NW Broadband. If you are in or close to the green area it would certainly be beneficial for you to at least register an interest.
We have been advised that registration will be on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis.
The coverage map does not take account of trees which will block a radio signal from the transmitter. However, those who would be able to obtain a clear line of sight to this proposed mast should be able to receive over 10mbps of Broadband.
As stated above registering interest is without commitment so is probably worth doing if your current Broadband speeds are poor.
