A new 'must read' - campaigners call for refusal

Two local campaigners, Dr Mike Browne and Mr Phillip Bratby have written to the MDDC to object to the proposed development in a highly detailed and well presented case. The full details are published on this website on the page Detailed Objections

In conclusion, they write as follows:

The proposed solar farm conflicts with National Policy, with the UK Solar PV Strategy and with four policies of the Mid Devon Local Plan.  

The benefits of the proposal have been incorrectly given by the applicant, but in any case, with there being no need for the proposal, any benefits would be insignificant, would carry very little weight in the planning balance and would not outweigh the significant adverse impacts.  

Mid Devon District Council should therefore refuse the application.

Letter to the Halberton Parish Council

Mike Bull wrote to the Halberton Parish Council on behalf of the community to express our continued objections to the proposed development. A copy of the letter is published on this website, on the tab called Letter to Halberton Parish Council

Community Team delivers hundreds of leaflets

Leaflets have now been delivered to hundreds of homes throughout the local area surrounding the proposed solar site.

A copy of the full text of the leaflet can be seen on the Leaflet tab at the top of this page.

It was a huge task and our thanks go out to every one who helped; from writing to proof reading and printing to final delivery.
