We have just heard that Beacon Solar have withdrawn their NSIP application for the 2,700 acre project at Holsworthy Beacon, citing a need for ‘further assessment’. 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 so that we are all the more prepared if and when the application is resubmitted.
Thank you to everyone who has signed our Petition against the Holsworthy Beacon mega-solar plan, and shared it with friends. We have more than 4,000 signatures so far, but we want to multiply that by 10 in the next few months.
Whether you have signed or not, please revisit the Petition at devoncpre.org.uk and see if you can think of more people on your email contacts list who might be interested in signing. This is not just for Devonians – people from all over England cherish and value Devon’s unique landscape as a place to escape to; and many of them will have mega-solar plans in their own counties, and will be keen to make their feelings known.
