Yelland Quay – May 2021

The controversial planning application to build 250 luxury houses on the beautiful Taw Estuary in North Devon will be decided at the North Devon District Council plans committee meeting on 9th June 2021. As previously reported, a decision was deferred at the 28th April plans committee meeting after a four and a half hour debate.
We have opposed the application from the start and were pleased to take part in a gathering of objectors in Barnstaple on Saturday 22nd May. There is overwhelming opposition to the scheme from the local community. Let’s hope that our elected councillors make the right decision in 2 weeks time.
