Tree schemes are an effective way for organisations to get trees established in a wide range of locations, and asking people to invest financially in their trees significantly improves their survival rates, according to new trial results. A trial led by the Trees Outside Woodland research project reveals that subsidised tree planting schemes significantly improve survival rates and cost effectiveness compared to free tree giveaways. This new finding offers insights for local authorities aiming to expand tree cover. Jon Stokes, Director of Science and Research at The Tree Council said: "This research seems to confirm that when people make a small financial contribution toward their trees, they're more likely to care for them properly, increasing their chances of survival. Tree schemes most effective when people pay "It's also encouraging to see the high numbers of surviving trees, showing the potential of these schemes to be a highly cost-effective way to increase our tree cover at scale in our villages, towns, cities and countryside - something that is vitally needed. "All the trees planted through these schemes have been planted in non-woodland settings, an area of tree planting that brings so many benefits to people and the environment, yet has been overlooked for many years." The project, a partnership led by The Tree Council, Defra, and Natural England, with Kent County Council, Chichester District Council, Cornwall Council, Norfolk County Council, and Shropshire Council, seeks to identify cost-effective methods that local authorities could adopt to increase tree canopy cover in England. The Tree Council will host a free online talk at 12.00 on Tuesday 18 March to present the findings of the joint research and answer questions. The study, conducted across four local authorities, compared free tree schemes with subsidised tree schemes, in which recipients contributed 50% of the costs. Over three years, 145,000 trees were planted across 1,200 sites in the pilot, with nearly 90,000 surviving their early years. Results showed that subsidised schemes achieved significantly higher first-year survival rates (88% compared to 83% for free schemes) and reduced cost to the local authority per surviving tree (£1.58 versus £3.59 for free schemes). Natural England Chief Scientist Sallie Bailey said: "As we face the challenges of biodiversity loss and climate change, this research offers a practical pathway for effective tree planting. "During the first years after planting, trees are at their most vulnerable, so the survival rates found in these trials through this precarious period of a tree's life is encouraging. "By trialling new methods and schemes, we are continuing to find ways to improve the success and cost efficiency of tree establishment. This all supports our aim of increasing tree cover and boosts progress towards achieving our ambitious tree planting targets." Both free and subsidised schemes attracted a wide range of participants, from farmers to schools, community groups, and individual residents. The trial revealed that applicants' most common motivation was to enhance wildlife and biodiversity, while those using subsidised schemes also cited practical benefits, such as shade, shelter, and natural barriers, often on farms. The tree schemes proved very popular, with the scheme of one of the participating local authorities, Kent County Council, being 400% oversubscribed and allocating all its trees within two days of opening applications. Sophie Hamnett, Trees Outside Woodland Project Officer at Chichester District Council said: "These schemes show how much people care about planting trees outside of woodlands. They create easy opportunities for anyone looking to enhance our national treescape or boost their community's connection with nature. "Our data shows what I experienced first-hand running the scheme - that there is the demand out there, and that if you provide the means, there is an army of people willing to get...

Rob looks into the housing challenges faced by Cornwall, a popular holiday destination in the United Kingdom, and the council's proposed solutions to the housing issues include a 300% council tax surcharge on second homes, a £3 tourist tax, closing a business rate relief loophole, and introducing rent caps.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Cornwall Council is considering implementing a 300% council tax surcharge on second homes, a £3 tourist tax, and closing a business rate relief loophole. Introducing rent caps, whether on regular housing or Airbnb properties, is not a viable solution and may have negative consequences. Cornwall heavily relies on tourism, and any measures that deter tourists could have detrimental effects on the local economy. It is crucial for Cornwall Council to use any additional tax revenue wisely, such as investing in building more homes for residents. Rent caps have been proven ineffective in other regions, and Cornwall should learn from these examples to avoid similar pitfalls. BEST MOMENTS "Cornwall Council looking to introduce a £3 tourist tax. Probably not a bad idea, as long as those funds are channeled into sensible projects, i.e., build more homes." "Rent caps do not work. Cornwall Council, rent caps do not work. They will not work. Please do not put your constituents through the mess of rent caps." "If you're rich and wealthy enough to own a second home in Cornwall, then I would imagine increasing the council tax bill by 300% is probably not going to have a detrimental effect on whether you want to sell your home." "They want a bit more, a fairer share of tax streams. And again, it's okay to ask that from the government, that's fine. If you then are granted that, great, well done, then use it to go and build houses." "Tourism is one of the most, if not the most important cog in the Cornwall wheel. There we are. Let's see what happens. That's all we can say to that. Just please don't put a rent cap in. It's not going to work."

Our Special Guest this week is Lord Ed Vaizey, politician, media columnist & commentator. Decisions of the Week: Decision of the Supreme Court in Fearn et al v Board of Trustees of Tate Gallery [2023] SCUK 4 dated 1st February 2023 allowing, by 3-2, an appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal who had dismissed an appeal from Mr Justice Mann who declined to grant an injunction based on the common law of private nuisance to stop members of the public from using a viewing gallery which afforded uninterrupted views into their glass walled flats. Decision of the Court of Appeal in R (oaf Whitley PC) v N Yorks CC & EPUK Investments Ltd [2023] EWCA Civ 92 dated 3rd February dismissing an appeal against the decision of Mr Justice Lane who had dismissed a claim for JR of a decision to grant planning permission for the extraction & export of pulverised ash based on alleged errors in the officer report & the failure to consider alternatives. Decision of High Court in Bristol Action Network Co-Ordinating Committee v SoS DLUC & Bristol City Airport dated 31st January 2023 challenging a decision of the appointed panel to allow a s78 appeal by the Airport, against the decision of North Somerset Council to refuse an application for the amendment of existing conditions to increase capacity by 2 million passengers per year on grounds related to emissions of greenhouse gases and impact on a SAC on which horseshoe bats roost & breed. Issues raised include the interaction/relationship with the CCA 2008 and local plan policy for the airport. Decision of High Court in Armstrong V SOS DLUC & Cornwall Council [2023] EWHC 176 (admin) dated 27th January 2023 quashing a decision letter dismissing an appeal by Mr Armstrong against the decision of Cornwall Council to refuse an application under section 73 of the TCPA 1990 to vary plans for construction of a new dwelling under an extant planning permission on the basis the application gave rise to a fundamental variation to the permission even though it would not give rise to any conflict with the description of the permission.

British officials and space scientists said they were disappointed but not deterred after the first attempt to launch satellites into orbit from the U.K. ended in failure. U.S.-based Virgin Orbit attempted its first international launch late January 9, using a modified jumbo jet to carry one of its rockets from Cornwall in southwestern England over the Atlantic Ocean. The plane released the rocket, carrying nine small satellites for a mix of civilian and domestic uses. But about two hours after the plane took off, the company reported “an anomaly that has prevented us from reaching orbit.” The plane, piloted by a Royal Air Force pilot, returned to Cornwall. The rocket and satellites were destroyed. “We're feeling awful, to be honest – I'm not going to lie,” Melissa Thorpe, head of Spaceport Cornwall, said. “This isn't the first time we've been knocked, this is the biggest definitely, but I feel OK and we'll get up and we'll go again,” she said. Virgin Orbit, which was founded by British transport and telecommunications tycoon Richard Branson, previously completed four similar launches from California. Hundreds of people gathered for the Cornwall launch had cheered when a repurposed Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 aircraft, named Cosmic Girl, took off last Jan. 9. Around an hour into the flight, the plane released the rocket at around 35,000 feet (around 10,000 meters) over the Atlantic Ocean to the south of Ireland. Virgin Orbit chief executive Dan Hart said “a technical failure appears to have prevented us from delivering the final orbit.” “While we are very proud of the many things that we have successfully achieved as part of this mission, we are mindful that we failed to provide our customers with the launch service they deserve,” he said. The mission was a collaboration between the U.K. Space Agency, the Royal Air Force, Virgin Orbit and Cornwall Council. Britain hopes to become a major player in making and launching satellites and is building a spaceport in the Shetland Islands north of Scotland as well as the one in Cornwall.

Fishermen on England's North East Coast say they're no further forward after an independent panel of scientists concluded there is no one clear cause of the deaths of thousands of crabs in the area. Fishermen blamed dredging at Teesside for releasing chemicals which killed the crabs but the panel considered that 'exceptionally unlikely' and believe it may be a pathogen. Cornwall Council has approved plans for second home owners to be charged double the council tax. And if they leave those second homes empty and unfurnished for a year, they'll be charged triple. A farmer says his attempts to keep joy riders and poachers off his land have been thwarted by planners. Colin Rayner who farms near Heathrow, put concrete blocks and old tyres across gates to stop vehicles. He says he's been threatened with legal action by Buckinghamshire County Council as they say the barriers breach planning laws. All week we've been talking about fertilisers. Russia is a top exporter of fertilisers and the chemicals used to make them and war in Ukraine has caused supply issues and driven up the price of natural gas, which is a key part of fertiliser production. As a result European fertiliser production fell by 70 per cent last year. We hear from the head of one of one of the world's biggest fertiliser firms, YARA, who's accused Vladimir Putin of 'weaponising food'. We also look at some of the alternatives to traditional granular fertilisers. Some growers believe cover crops, planting beans and clover which fix nitrogen in the soil, are the answer to improved soil health and fertility.

This week, we are joined by Melanie Leech CBE, Chief Executive of the British Property Federation. Decisions of the Week: Decision of the High Court dated 28th September 2022 concerning a challenge to the grant of permission by Cornwall Council for an extension to a Golf & Country Club in St Just, which lies in the Cornwall AONB and the designated Penwith Heritage Coast. Decision of an inspector dated 26th September 2022 allowing two separate appeals on greenfield sites outside but abutting the settlement boundary of Malmesbury, against the refusals by Wiltshire Council of outline applications for the development of up to 50 and up to 26 dwellings respectively. Issues around impact on character & appearance. Decision of an inspector dated 28th September 2022 allowing an appeal against the refusal of Wealden District Council for a mixed-use urban extension of up to 700 dwellings, employment floorspace, medical centre & primary school on a site identified as a Strategic Development Area in the Core Strategy, with European Protected Habitats in the area, contrary to an officer recommendation for approval and in the context of a 3.66 HLS. Decision of an inspector dated 23rd September 2022 allowing an- appeal against non-determination by Basildon District Council, of an outline application for the part demolition & redevelopment of the Eastgate Shopping Centre & adjoining land to provide a mixed use scheme of up to 2800 dwellings including build to rent, open market sale, student accommodation, later living & co-living, retail & commercial floorspace, public realm & car parking. No 5 yr HLS. Issues raised around design, impact on character & appearance, impact on designated heritage assets.

In this episode of The Off the Leash Podcast, Charlie Moores and Dominic Dyer discuss a mix of politics, animal rights, and institutional bias. What might happen to the government's legislative animal welfare agenda if Boris Johnson is replaced as Prime Minister,  for example, and are government petitions worth signing (the answer is 'Yes'). We look at why hare coursing is discussed in Parliament but not hare hunting (both are illegal after all(, and read out a very accurate statement by the campaign group Action Against Hare Hunting which nails the reason brilliantly. We discuss a decision by Cornwall Council to continue allowing so-called 'Trail hunting' on its land and look at the Code of Conduct that should guide elected councillors. In the light of so much information emerging on the clear bias of some police officers towards hunts, is it right that the Chair of the College of Policing should also be the Chair of the pro-hunting lobby group the Countryside Alliance? We ask why Glue Traps are still available when they're obviously cruel.

We explore how the natural world can inform and inspire us on the topic of Economics. Guided by Peter Lefort, we look at one way to think differently about Economics in the 21st Century: Doughnut Economics. At the core of the approach is the ‘Doughnut' consisting of two concentric rings: a social foundation, to ensure that no one is left falling short on life's essentials, and an ecological ceiling, to ensure that humanity does not collectively overshoot planetary boundaries. Between these two sets of boundaries lies a doughnut-shaped space that is both ecologically safe and socially just: a space in which humanity can thrive. We delve into the theory of Doughnut Economics as well as real-life applications: the Doughnut is being used on a county-scale in Cornwall Council, city-scale in Amsterdam, and nation-scale in Costa Rica. Peter Lefort is a Network Facilitator and Doughnut Economics Practitioner. He runs the University of Exeter's Green Futures Network, connecting communities and organisations to the latest environmental research and resources. He has previously worked on the implementation of doughnut economics within the decision making processes of Cornwall Council, and is a founder member of the Cornwall Doughnut Collective. Peter is also a freelance facilitator and trainer, and is Co-Chair of the Transition Network. Whether you're an Economics expert or newbie, we hope you enjoy this episode in which we touch on the links between Economy and Ecology and subjects including the importance of home, permission, mindset, systems, complexity, patterns, growth -- and Starling murmurations!

The Chief Medical Officer, in their annual report, presents to Government information or ‘surveillance' about the health of England's population, offering recommendations to both government and individual organisations as to how to improve the public health system. In his 2021 report, published in July, Chris Whitty chose to report on health in coastal communities. It concluded that: There are many reasons for poor health outcomes in coastal communities. The pleasant environment attracts older, retired citizens to settle, who inevitably have more and increasing health problems. An oversupply of guest housing has led to Houses of Multiple Occupation which lead to concentrations of deprivation and ill health. The sea is a benefit but also a barrier: attracting NHS and social care staff to peripheral areas is harder, catchment areas for health services are artificially foreshortened and transport is often limited, in turn limiting job opportunities. Many coastal communities were created around a single industry such as previous versions of tourism, or fishing, or port work that have since moved on, meaning work can often be scarce or seasonal. Physical and natural environment? Demography? Housing? Transport? Employment? This, Sam Stafford thought, sounded like a good subject for exploration on a town planning-based podcast. What are the particular issues associated with planning for coastal communities? What distinguishes a successful coastal town from a less successful one? And what role does the planning system have in determining these outcomes?

If you have listened to Episode 45 of the 50 Shades of Planning Podcast you will have heard Clive Betts say that... 'In the Netherlands planning is seen as part of the solution. In the UK, too often, planning is seen as part of the problem'. Sam said in reply that that would look good on a t-shirt and it does.

In this episode, we'll be discussing how the partnerships are feeling about graduating the programme and the next steps for their projects. As discussed in the last episode, with COP26 being hosted this year our partnerships have had to start thinking about the future of their projects and how their good work will be continued. We will also be catching up with one partner who moved roles during the programme, and what he is up to now. Joining us are Alex Rainbow, Carbon Neutral Cornwall Assessment Specialist at Cornwall Council. Leanne Wilson, Policy and Economy Adviser at North of Tyne Combined Authority. And Peter Lefort, Impact and Partnership Development Officer at University of Exeter, but was previously at Cornwall Council.

In this Podcast we discuss with Alex Rainbow of Cornwall County Council how they are adopting the “doughnut economics” model of Kate Raworth to create a sustainable county that can deliver services within the planetary constraints of sustainability. Cornwall Council has identified the ‘Doughnut economics’ model as a useful framework to pursue the goal of meeting people’s needs within environmental limits, and has developed a decision-making wheel based upon the model which it is using to assess the impact of specific policy decisions or interventions. The hope is that with this model Cornwall can develop a higher-level assessment of the current state of social and ecological conditions across Cornwall to inform progress towards agreed strategic priorities. This requires the identification of appropriate indicators of progress across all of Cornwall’s service delivery and the metrics of this will form part of the discussion in this webinar This is a model that is increasingly being adopted across the globe and Amsterdam and Brussels are two Cities working with Doughnut economic. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/globalnet21/message

Our Special Guest this week is Catriona Riddell MRTPI, the Strategic Planning Specialist for the Planning Officers' Society and Director of Catriona Riddell & Associates Ltd. Decisions of the Week: Secretary of State for Transport & Curzon Park Ltd et al [2021] EWCA civ 651 a Court of Appeal decision dismissing an appeal of the decision of the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) on a preliminary issue of law about whether other certificates of appropriate alternative development are to be treated as material planning considerations in determining a CAAD. Sefton Borough Council v Secretary of State for HC&LG et al [2021] EWHC 1082, a High Court decision challenging the decision of an inspector to quash enforcement notices and allow the deemed ground of appeal for inappropriate development in the GB, raising issues on interpretation of NPPF 143 & 144. R (oaf Corbett) v Cornwall Council [2021] EWHC 1114 another decision of the High Court relating to a failed attempt to quash a planning permission for a house at Trevarrian Hill granted based on an allegedly misleading officer report the meaning of the words “immediately adjoining.” Decision of an inspector dated 4th May 2021 dismissing an appeal against the decision of Tendring District Council to refuse planning permission for a change of use to create a retirement park by allowing residential use of caravans based on the adverse impact on tourism and harm to the settlement pattern.

“We should aspire to pass on our heritage to our successors, not depleted but enhanced. In order to do that, we need to bring about a profound and lasting change in the buildings that we build, which is one of the reasons we are placing a greater emphasis on locally popular design, quality and access to nature, through our national planning policies and introducing the National Model Design Codes.” So said Robert Jenrick when announcing at the end of January 2021 the Government's response to the report of the Building Better, Building Beautiful Commission. As well as the creation of an ‘Office for Place', which is to support local communities in determining the standard for all new buildings in their area, the NPPF is to be revised to place greater emphasis on beauty, place-making and, of course, tree-lined streets. In addition, a new paragraph 127 of the NPPF will state that all LPAs should prepare design guides or codes consistent with the principles set out in the National Design Guide and the new National Model Design Code (NMDC). The NMDC itself though, as one of it's authors, David Rudlin of URBED has admitted, is not a code at all but a guide to writing codes.  An increased emphasis on the design quality of new development, and a national framework for design standards for LPAs to set policy and determine individual decisions by, can only be a good thing. There seems to be a huge leap though from where we are now to all LPAs having a design code or guide in place within three years, which the Chief Planner has written to them requesting. And what, for example, is the Code's relationship with the White Paper? Are Codes for every street or just ‘Growth' and ‘Renewal' areas? And whilst agreement on what constitutes a good design code should be easy to achieve, agreement on what constitutes good design, let alone beautiful design, is perhaps harder achieve. Are expectations for what a NMDC can achieve being set unrealistically high? Joining Sam Stafford to discuss these issues in this episode are Paul Smith, Vicky Payne, Louise Wood and Ben Woolnough. Paul (@paul_slg) is Managing Director at the Strategic Land Group; Vicky (@Victoria_Payne) is a planner and urban designer at URBED; Louise (@LWood_Cornwall) is Service Director for Planning at Cornwall Council; and Ben (@benhoward_w) is Major Sites & Infrastructure Manager at East Suffolk Council.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Škoda starts series production of all-electric Enyaq Škoda has started series production of its all-electric Enyaq iV model based on MEB. Up to 350 units of the e-SUV will eventually be produced daily at Škoda’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav on the same lines as the Octavia and Karoq model series containing combustion engines." according to electrive, writing about the potential for 120,000 of these a year from this plant: "The Enyaq iV is the first MEB-based electric car in the Volkswagen Group build outside of VW’s Zwickau plant in Germany. The ID.3 and ID.4 are currently being assembled there, with derivatives of the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Cupra el-Born to be added later. Other MEB plants in Europe are not scheduled to begin until 2022, such as Emden as the second plant for the ID.4, and the VW commercial vehicles plant in Hanover for the production version of the ID. Buzz."   In comparison at the VW plant in Germany already making the ID.3 and ID.4 they have production capacity of 750 a day, or 5,250 a week. Over a 48 week year (allowing for one week shutdown per quarter) that's 252,000 VW brand cars from just that one factory.   https://www.electrive.com/2020/11/26/skoda-starts-series-production-of-all-electric-enyaq/     VW Speeds Up Work on Small Electric Car "Volkswagen AG is accelerating development of a compact electric car that will cost less than 30,000 euros ($35,800) as tightening emissions rules and generous subsidies bolster sales of battery-powered vehicles, according to people familiar with the matter. The VW-branded car may be introduced as early as 2022" writes Bloomberg today: "To free up funds for the industry’s biggest electric-car offensive, VW will take more steps to shrink its portfolio of combustion-engine cars after already culling models including the Beetle and the Scirocco. It will discontinue the mid-sized Passat sedan in the U.S. and sell only the station-wagon version in Europe, the people said. VW may also phase out the upscale Arteon coupe, they said."   https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-11-27/vw-speeds-up-work-on-small-electric-car-culls-combustion-models   How the US plans to turn all its iconic school buses electric "The US school bus is a cultural icon. With its distinctive yellow livery, this design classic has inhabited the roads of North America in various forms since 1939, and the region is unique in having a fleet of dedicated buses for transporting school students. Most other areas use ordinary public-service buses for the school runs. On average 480,000 yellow buses carry upwards of 25 million children to school on a daily basis in the US." says Electric Hybrid Vehicle Technology website, the problem is, they're dirty diesel: "poor air quality has been proven to be responsible for high rates of asthma, cancer, and heart disease; and research by scientists at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has shown that just a small increase in fine-particulate pollution, such as that from the diesel engines of school buses, results in a 15 percent increase in the death rate due to COVID-19. . President Elect Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan for creating a more resilient, sustainable economy proposes making all American-made buses zero-emission by 2030, starting with the school bus fleet, which would convert within five years."   The buses are currently made in Alabama, California, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, New York, and both North & South Carolina.   There is an unusual bias in the U.S., so far in 2020 there were 40,714 school buses registered and 5,402 city buses.   A problem is the price, 350k compared to 100k for diesel. TCO is not as powerful because they do so few miles.   https://www.electrichybridvehicletechnology.com/opinion/how-the-us-plans-to-turn-all-its-iconic-school-buses-electric.html   VW's EV boss discusses the move to electrification "Thomas Ulbrich, Volkswagen Group's e-mobility boss, has spent two years overseeing VW's move to electrification. Ulbrich discussed the challenges of refitting eight of the automaker's global plants to build full-electric cars"   On retooling for the ID.3: "We converted the plant virtually during ongoing operations. In one half of the plant, we were still building full numbers of combustion engines when we started with the electric vehicles in the other half. But in the end, everything worked despite the enormous challenges that the coronavirus pandemic demands of all of us"   On the MEB platform: " Even at the development stage, we designed the platform in such a way that we have far-reaching synergies through identical parts for different vehicles and different models. This time, we made sure that the concept of the bodies was identical across all brands, so that we had sufficiently differentiated vehicles in terms of design, but which we could still build on one assembly line."   On expansion: "The two plants in China, Anting and Foshan, will start up this year. The same applies to Skoda's production in Mlada Boleslav in the Czech Republic. Dresden in Germany will follow at the beginning of 2021, Emden and Hanover, aso in Germany, in 2022. In the second half of 2022, Chattanooga will also start up in the U.S."   On scale: "Our goal is to build 1 million EVs for the Volkswagen brand alone in 2023 and to achieve global output of 1.5 million by 2025. The MEB-based vehicles of the other group brands will then be added."   On how important the ID.4 is: "It is particularly important at the start of our electric offensive that we serve the volume segments. That's the best way to achieve economies of scale and make full use of our plants. And the ID4 will be our volume driver, which, with 500,000 units, will account for a third of our global EV sales in 2025."   https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/vws-ev-boss-discusses-move-electrification+   China's SAIC Motor Launches New Electric-Vehicle Project "SAIC Motor Corp. has initiated a new project to produce high-end electric vehicles, the latest expansion move by Chinese car makers enticed by a rosy outlook for new-energy vehicles. SAIC, one of China's largest car makers by sales volume, said Thursday that it has teamed up with a Shanghai company and Alibaba Group Holding to run the project called Zhi Ji." according to MorningStar.com: "Zhi Ji will launch luxurious electric-vehicle models, SAIC said, without providing details on the timeline, pricing or sales target. Alibaba's role is more of a technology provider for the project, a company spokeswoman said. The high-end NEV market in China is set to get crowded next year, with both foreign and domestic makers expected to launch more premium models"   https://www.morningstar.com/news/dow-jones/202011272280/chinas-saic-motor-launches-new-electric-vehicle-project   Cornwall to rollout 150 new EV chargers with £2.9m funding "Cornwall Council has secured £2.9 million in funding from the European Regional Development Fund to continue its electric vehicle (EV) charging rollout." says Current News: "A further £725,000 has been committed by the council to cover the remaining cost of the 150 chargers, which will be installed in a range of locations including council car parks and offices as well as in communities where there is currently limited chargepoint availability."   https://www.current-news.co.uk/news/cornwall-to-rollout-150-new-ev-chargers-with-2-9m-funding   New Opel Corsa-e Rally is Ready to Go The Opel Corsa-e Rally is the first all-electric rally car from a carmaker. The Blitz-badged electric vehicles will next year take part in their own one-make series – the ADAC Opel e-Rally Cup. Two complete rounds of the German Rally Championship (DRM) were rehearsed during the three-day test programme – including special stages, road sections and servicing. The unique features of electro-mobility, such as times spent driving and charging, temperature management of the battery and fine-tuning the software, were tested for the first time in a rally environment. The all-electric cars also completed long runs to test the durability of the new components.     You can listen to all 937 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) AVID TECHNOLOGY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER) RICHARD AT RSYMONS.CO.UK – THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SPECIALIST (PREMIUM PARTNER)   DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) OEM AUDIO OF NEW ZEALAND AND EVPOWER.CO.NZ (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY – MILLBROOK COTTAGES AND ELOPEMENT WEDDING VENUE (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (PARTNER)   ALAN ROBSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREW GREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASHLEY HILL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRISTOPHER BARTH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG COLES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVE DEWSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GILBERTO ROSADO (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GEOFF LOWE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN SEAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODICERS) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEN MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KYLE MAHAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LARS DAHLAGER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARK BOSSERT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MATT PISCIONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MICHAEL PASTRONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NICHOLAS MILLER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NIGEL MILES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL RIDINGS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAJ BADWAL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RICHARD LUPINSKY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB HERMANS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

Hey, this week we have another special series where I am exploring a Council document! Now this may sound boring but I am hoping to find a new way of broadcasting important things to the public so this is also a bit of a test. In this series I am going through each section of what is The Bodmin Town Framework document produced by Cornwall Council in conjunction with the Local Plan which, in a nutshell are business plans for the area(s) taking us up to 2030. This is something I have wanted to do for a while, looking over Bodmin from a 30,000 feet perspective to try and summarise where it is now and where it is going in the future. You can find the document yourself here https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/media/267... Please let me know what you think of this idea and I know it is not my best piece of content, it was a bigger project than I anticipated, so a little forgiveness would be appreciated this time round.
