East Devon District Council have given the plans the go ahead after years of consultation and hold ups because of legal action by campaigners. The first phase involves moving the road and car park on Queen's Drive. 

Councillor Philip Skinner, Deputy Leader and Chairman of the Exmouth Regeneration Board said: "I am delighted that the committee gave the green light to this amazing new asset for Exmouth. This Approval reflects the importance of Grenadier’s plans and is another success for the many years hard work by the Regeneration Board, our officers and the commitment of the town and district councils." 

Peter Quincey, Director of Grenadier: “We’re delighted that our plans for a sustainable watersports centre have been granted approval by the council, and we’re looking forward to progressing this project to the next stage. We are respectful of the conditions attached to the planning approval and appreciate the feedback we have received on this project which will be taken into consideration as we move forward. We remain fully committed to creating a facility which will leave a positive legacy for the local community and will strive to deliver a centre which is sensitive to its surroundings.”
