麻豆约拍

Grace Dent tells the story of a clash between a bestselling author and a millionaire hotel developer in the idyllic setting of Babbacombe Bay.

Millionaire businessman Peter de Savary has applied to build a car park on the hill overlooking Torquay's picturesque Babbacombe Bay. The car park would service the expansion of the Cary Arms, a luxury hotel on the bay.

The car park is opposed by million selling author Lesley Pearse along with a number of other local residents, who mount a vocal campaign against the plan.

The decision will be made at an all-important meeting of the council's planning committee. As crucial vote approaches, which side will emerge victorious?
