Our Planning Workshop – May 2025

Thank you to all the town & parish councils who attended our planning workshop held at The Tiverton Hotel, Tiverton recently. It was great to meet so many councillors and our members from across the county.  It also provided an ideal opportunity to discuss the proposed planning and devolution reforms and what they could mean for us all.   And, of course, special thanks to our fantastic independent planning consultant, Jo Widdecombe, who ran the workshop. 

If your town or parish council is not yet a member of Devon CPRE – please do consider joining. We provide expert planning advice – the key benefit to membership.
