Planning Surgery – 23rd March

A big thank you to independent planning consultant, Jo Widdecombe, for her excellent presentation explaining the planning process and how to get involved. It was a very informative workshop and it was so good to see so many of our new members attend. We hope you found it helpful.

If you, your local community group, town or parish council need help with a local planning issue which is a threat to Devon’s countryside and green spaces, please join Devon CPRE! That’s what we are here for!

A failed planning system, and a government policy to build millions more houses than we need – of the wrong type, at the wrong price, in the wrong places – means that today Devon’s countryside is threatened as never before. CPRE was founded to preserve and protect the rural environment, and has been doing just that since 1926.

Devon CPRE is an independent local charity that fights to prevent poor planning and bad policies destroying the rural landscapes that are Devon’s unique heritage. We offer professional planning expertise and a wealth of experience to help our members fight inappropriate development throughout the county.

We’re funded solely by members’ subscriptions, donations and legacies.

Please join us. Please support us. Your countryside needs you.
