Added to the mix is the Exeter Gateway project and the East Devon new town which is to built in stages around that present site. As a result a railway station is pencilled in which will serve both the Airport ndthe New Town and the connected freight facilities which puts Exeter on a firmer footing.
There are also "plans" to improve public transport to Newquay (town as opposed to the Airport) - though whether these come to fruition is anyone's guess.
10 years I reckon Plymouth will be housing. I hope I am wrong.
