Many of you are asking, after the Public Inquiry which concluded February 1st, "what's happening with Atmos?". Good question. We are awaiting the Inspector's decision. No date was given, but we imagine around the start of April? As soon as we hear we will share the news here ❤️

Ecologically illiterate piece in the Times today, virtually a puff piece for developers listing all their gripes “Nobody bothered much about bats and newts in the past” Moans about having to survey “interesting weeds” before building Give me strength thetimes.co.uk/article/we-nee…

Article from the local press reflecting on the recent Inquiry result: "We stand by the evidence we gave at the Inquiry and will continue to work on getting the site back so the town can get the housing and jobs it desperately needs": kingsbridge-today.co.uk/news/planning/…

Dear Angela Rayner. An idea for you #1: If you want to get houses built, and avoid landbanking, how about saying that developers now need to start paying Council Tax on a house from the moment planning is granted? It would really help. Thank you Toby Lloyd Guy Shrubsole

Dear Angela Rayner An idea for you #2: Revise Community Right to Build powers so that once a community has run a community consultation, masterplanned a site, and won a local referendum on its plans, it acquires the power to CPO that site. Transformative Toby Lloyd Guy Shrubsole

What the UK needs right now is the Community Power Act proposed by We're Right Here: the campaign for community power. Includes an actual, meaningful, Right to Buy, that would make projects like ours possible and challenge the power of landbankers like Fastglobe who trample on local peoples: right-here.org

This is the Atmos site in Totnes - snatched by a corporation from the hands of the community in 2021. Across the country there are sites like this, land-banked by large developers, which could instead be made available for projects with community at their heart. 1/7

Site security around the former Dairy Crest site in Totnes, owned by Essex-based landbankers Fastglobe and home to perilous buildings, some containing asbestos, managing to maintain its usual level of neglectful and virtually non-existent. Saputo, this is your 'legacy'.

Come join us on Saturday at 11 for the fifth, yes the fifth, Anniversary of Nothing. Shame on Fastglobe for their disgraceful treatment of the people of Totnes. 1,854 days when the community could have been doing something remarkable, blocked by greed. See you there. ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful 'Fifth Anniversary of Nothing' today in Totnes. Speeches by Ruth Ben-Tovim Rob Hopkins Guy Shrubsole followed by the tying of 1,854 hand-numbered tags to the former Dairy Crest site fence. The UK urgently needs a Community Right to Buy with real teeth. #AtmosTotnes
