Councillor wants clarity on recording changed vote
Express and Echo
|June 19, 2025
A VETERAN local politician has refused to back the official record of a decision linked to a major controversial housing development.
-
Councillor Eileen Wragg said she could “not accept the minutes” that act as the formal account of the decision to approve an outline housing scheme in Seaton for up to 130 homes.
Baker Estates’ application has been controversial since it was first debated at East Devon District Council’s planning committee in February, where chair Cllr Olly Davey appeared to change his vote.
Cllr Wragg, who has been involved in local planning for 30 years, expressed displeasure about the events at that meeting and objects to the official record, saying it doesn’t fully reflect what happened.
