Babbacombe: The beach car park and cafe have been sold, and there are rumours that the new owner plans to reduce the size of the car park and develop the site with holiday lets. This would affect all those who use the bay for recreational diving, and the clubs and dive schools that do their training at this beautiful site. No planning application has been submitted yet: please check back here for updates, and if you know anything concrete, email us using the contact page on this website.
Brixham Breakwater Beach: plans have been drawn up for a hotel on the site of the Bistro. Again, no planning application has been submitted yet. And again, this is a site used by local clubs, divers and dive schools, which we do not want and cannot afford to lose.
