This week Viridor submitted their planning application for an incinerator to Devon County Council. We need to work together to defeat this planning application and the only way we will achieve this is to launch the biggest objection writing campaign our area has ever seen. In the next few weeks I’ll be circulating a list of planning objections asking people to use in drafting letters to the planning committee. It is important that local residents put these objections in their own words so that the strength of local feeling against the incinerator can be understood.
In the past two months I have called for Cllr Roger Croad and Gary Streeter to do more to oppose this incinerator. We now only have two months to defeat this planning application. We need to park questions about why they did nothing about the incinerator despite knowing about Viridor’s plans for 18 months until after this application has been defeated. Then as a community we should ask what they are doing on our behalf. Let’s hold them to account for their inaction after we have defeated the planning application.

Luke, I am following you on this campaign against the incinerator. What do you think about wind farming? Do you think that would be a better idea for the Ivybridge population? I have set up a project called Zero Emission Project, whose target is to build a wind farm starting from nothing in the South of England. Have a look at the project on my web site: http://zeroemissionproject.com. I want to propose something: do you think we could play against the highly polluting incinerator by applying for the permission of a clean and environmental friendly wind farm, from which the population of Ivybridge could benefit? Do you think it would be possible to apply even for the same area of land?
