At yesterday’s conference (see our previous post), campaign groups were asked to make their own video to add to the SOGS archive. Save Our Sidmouth would be glad to hear from anyone who could offer voluntary..ideally, professional.. help with this. Please contact us at saveoursidmouth@gmail.com
Some examples can be seen at this link: http://www.saveourgreenspaces.org/video.html
Save our Sidmouth is now linked with similar campaign groups across the UK, thanks to the new Save Our Green Spaces network. Guest speakers at the first conference held today, included the Chief Executive of the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England,Sean Spiers; Chair of the All Party Interest Group on Green Belts, Chris Skidmore MP; and Jacob Rees-Mogg, MP for NE Somerset.
Opponents of EDDC’s plans for a large out-of town business park, with possible retail, at Sidford Fields, will be interested in how the new network defines sustainable development: it means “development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
More details posted on the SIN blog today, will be followed there shortly by a full report on the conference.
Knowle Residents’ Association (KRA) have just heard that their appeal has been accepted, against the refusal by Devon County Council to register footpaths at the Knowle as public footpaths.
A KRA press release will be issued shortly, and will also be posted on this website.
Meanwhile, the Inspector’s report can be accessed at this link: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/pins/row/documents/fps_j1155_14a_3.pdf
