Purpose

The Commercial Property Investment Board in November 2021 approved the purchase of 3 Luscombe Terrace Dawlish to be redesigned, improved and refurbished for use as temporary accommodation as an alternative to Bed and Breakfast. The purchase and works are complete and the property is now fully occupied. Officers decided to enhance the internal works ( fire precautions ) and external works ( removal of chimney ) to substantially improve the Council asset. Final scheme costs £427,609.
