Opposition is growing against planning application to dump waste in the #Devon #countryside We’ve submitted a strong objection. #northdevon #planning devontoday.com/fury-as-plans-…

Application for 450 homes at Roundswell, #Barnstaple permitted today by @ndevoncouncil planning committee, despite numerous objections including our own, and traffic fears. #northdevon #devon #planning northdevongazette.co.uk/news/local-new…

Yet more of #northdevon farmland is lost to #solar as @ndevoncouncil officers permit a 108 acre scheme in #braunton #planning #solarfarm #countryside #devon okehampton-today.co.uk/news/large-sol…

Farmland is being decimated by #energy and #housing schemes. #planning #countryside #solarfarms midweekherald.co.uk/news/25954974.…

This would be a disaster for our countryside, precious landscapes, farming and food security and nature. These plans must be opposed. @cpre @RosieP4 @NetZeroWatch @NoFarmsNoFoods

Community campaigners outside @eastdevon offices this morning before the start of the public inquiry into the proposed #battery energy storage system BESS near Hawkchurch, #eastdevon #planning @RosieP4 @cpre @NetZeroWatch

Repost!🙌🏼

We've been helping people living in & around the hamlet of #Hawkchurch #EastDevon, #Devon who are fighting proposals to site 2 large #Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) there. The 2 public inquiries start next week. @cpre @NetZeroWatch @NoFarmsNoFoods youtube.com/watch?v=buXM4g…

A green field on the edge of a small hamlet in the North Devon #countryside is the wrong location for this development. #northdevon #devon #planning #brayford #exmoor

Prime farmland should never look like this.

Lovely to hear my first collared doves and yellowhammers of the spring today, along with lots of skylarks about. We should aim to farm with nature not see farmland as something to pour concrete and build solar panels on.

We are strongly opposed to the Government’s backing for more #solar and #wind developments. Enough is enough! @RosieP4 @CPRE torbayweekly.co.uk/news/around-de…

An appeal has been lodged against the refusal by @ndevoncouncil of new #housing development in the small village of Westleigh, #northdevon #devon We’ve been helping our local members, including the parish council, oppose the scheme. northdevongazette.co.uk/news/local-new…

My quote in this piece, "Rosie Pearson, who chairs the Community Planning Alliance, said of the latest approvals: “This represents further destruction of countryside and best farmland while warehouse roofs, car parks and houses sit empty of solar panels. “Add that to the pylons that accompany the solar farms and rural areas are being industrialised. We see once again that food security, nature and landscapes do not matter to Miliband.” telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

2,700 acre #Holsworthy #Devon mega #solar farm 'put on hold'. While this is good news, we do not regard it as an end to the threat. Therefore please continue to sign and share the petition devoncpre.org.uk holsworthy-today.co.uk/news/controver…

Countryside vandalism.
