Protect Cornwall from Diesel Power Plants
Overturn the approval of the Diesel Power Plant in Davidstow as we believe it conflicts with the national planning policy. Make all such applications require additional approval from the state.
Why is this important?
The proposed plant sits within a cluster of fields just across the road from both an Area of outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) regions. There are two Bronze age barrows that are Scheduled Ancient Monuments and a third non-scheduled Iron Age round that are in close proximity. Concerns exist on both the visual impact on the beautiful countryside of National archaeological importance and the environmental impact this brings.

We believe that the affect on this Archaeological site* will be profound. As such we think that the decision should lie in the Secretary of Sates hands.

Lets not set a detrimental precedence that allows the subsidies for burning Fossil Fuels and polluting an area heavily devoted to Green energy sources. Join us in opposing this inappropriate development.
