Save Dartington

Dartington is in serious trouble. We are a group looking to help and protect Dartington Hall Estate and save it for the community

From a Totnes resident this morning “How depressing to hear that developers were out this morning, pouring over Lower Field - school
also out early removing community banners! #whythisfieldwtf #childrenbeforeprofit”

[Green Alliance @GreenAllianceUK]

Our partners, @nationaltrust, do fantastic work on climate & nature. But they’re under attack. If you’re member, please vote on AGM motions & in the elections for the NT council. You have till Friday.

Exciting news! #Totnes #planning #Dartington

So very sad to hear of @JonathanCoopr's sudden death – he was a great supporter of people struggling for freedom in many walks of life, including those connected to Dartington Hall

[Save Dartington @SavingHall]

We at Save Dartington are devastated to hear of the death of @JonathanCoopr a wonderful man & a huge supporter of this campaign and of course of #DartingtonHall. Our love to his partner @KevinChilds10 and to his family and our heartfelt thanks to the man himself.

And this is why folk are ao disappointed in @DartingtonTrust decision to sell land for open market housing - the least useful and most uncreative outcome to their financial woes @SavingHall @SchumacherColl @francesnorthrop @atmosfortotnes @AtmosTotnes @robintransition

@nowpresspause @DartingtonTrust @SchumacherColl @francesnorthrop @atmosfortotnes @AtmosTotnes @robintransition Exactly

[Anna Neima @Anna_Neima]

I'll be talking about Dartington Hall and other attempts to build a better world at @EastGateBooks, Totnes at 7pm on 28 July, followed by 8pm drinks at Ben's Wine & Tapas a few doors up.

Please come and join either part of the evening.

@maryindevon Then maybe clarify for us. How will the area in South Ham’s Local Plan be divided into protected and growth zones? Which will be a growth zone?

[The Victorian Society @thevicsoc]

We're thinking of including a few Victorian and Edwardian houses with original features and scope for restoration in our newsletter. Would you like this? Would you nominate houses for sale we can help find appreciative owners for? https://t.co/4lRi6QQ50Z

[Save Dartington @SavingHall]

@AnthonyMangnal1 @garthur1 But there would have to be a third of it identified as a growth area?

[Save Dartington @SavingHall]

@AnthonyMangnal1 @garthur1 Which parts are those? None of the South Hams should be a growth area.

[Georgina Allen @garthur1]

Gov’s proposal to zone areas is completely flawed! How do you zone somewhere like the S.Hams? Which third of it should be a growth area? Totnes & the Dart Valley? Dartmouth? We entirely depend on tourism & farming. Zoning will destroy our economy & this beautiful area forever.

[Save Dartington @SavingHall]

We’d agree...

[Georgina Allen @garthur1]

The #planningbill looks to make a disaster out of a crisis, by further deregulating planning to profit developers rather than those in need of a house. @BylineTimes @JohnBirchTotnes @AnthonyMangnal1 @CarolineVoaden @Peston @MeirionTweets @JohnnyMercerUK
