This weke's Devoncast delves into planning and housing issues, NIMBY-ism, the cost of social housing and the ongoing process of local government reorganisation. We're joined by Independent councillor Ian Barlow, who represents Sidmouth on East Devon District Council, and hear too from Newton Abbot MP Martin Wrigley. Also in this edition of Devoncast, we ask whether the result of a by-election in East Devon could provide any insight about the potential outcome of the Devon County Council elections in May.
Cranbrook is Devon's newest town, but the journey hasn't been an entirely smooth one. There were some early successes, such as schools completed before residents moved in, but it took 12 years for a supermarket to open. Devoncast finds out about the latest developments and those still to come in Cranbrook from one of the town's district councillors, Kevin Blakey, who also discusses what lessons can be learned as East Devon starts embarking on its second new town. Plus, we hear from Feniton's district councillor, Alasdair Bruce, about why he and many of its residents were dismayed that a planning application for 35 homes was approved in the flood-prone village. Beyond that, we reveal the details about a new link between Plymouth and the Nordic country of Finland, and get all the details of the Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival, which happens this weekend (Fri 7 and Saturday 8 March). Finally, we tread the boards with Stefanie Jones, the leading lady in Plymouth's Theatre Royal production of the hit Disney musical, Mary Poppins. It's all in the latest edition of Devoncast, from Radio Exe and the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
We go on a tour around the county from Exeter to Plymouth, North Devon to Torbay and East Devon to Teignbridge to see what our councillors make of it all. How will it impact services for residents day to day? How many unitary councils in Devon could be in charge of bins collections, children's services, how many homes are built and where and pothole repairs? Will there be more money for our urban and rural communities and a seat at the top table for a large strategic authority with an elected mayor covering the South West? We delve into these questions and more on the latest Devoncast. Plus is train travel for Devon residents going off the rails?. . . the county's trains to Paddington could see more problems in years to come with ongoing works to HS2 near the capital causing potential delays and less frequent services. MPs and councillors want a robust mitigation plan put in place. It's all in the new Devoncast, from Radio Exe and the Local Democracy Reporting Service. The programme is available for LDRS partners to use in full or in part.

Whatever the American election throws up, it is going to have a major effect on the rest of the world. With uncertainty in the air, Plymouth University politics lecturer Dr Dave Brockington - a proud son of the West Coast - returns to the Devoncast studio to explain just what is going on in his native land. He explains the complex US voting system and shines the spotlight on the candidates, the opinions and what it could all mean for us here in the UK. Elsewhere, Devoncast meets the developers behind £200million worth of investment in Torbay's town centres and talks to a councillor getting to grips with East Devon's complex housing issues. And, at last, there's some good news for all those interested in making sure one of Torquay's finest buildings is saved.
Especially in those first couple of years in business we often battle to know what we need to do when to be visible and grow our businesses, confused by all the jargon and noise we see and hear.In this episode we delve into the things that really matter and explore how a past experience nearly kept Bryony from being visible completely.Bryony knows marketing and business well with a 25yr career in sales and marketing under her belt. She is a Visibility and Growth Strategist, in other words she comes up with smart ideas to get things done effectively, an award-winning marketeer,and a social media manager. She runs her own small business and believes in keeping things simple and jargon-free to reduce stress and have a better work-life balance. Bryony is extremely passionate about making marketing jargon-free, stress-free and easy and loves showing other online business owners how to achieve the same. She's set up three small businesses, two of her own and one for someone else, all while working in a regular job. So, she's got a lot of experience in making small businesses stand out, get noticed, and make more sales in the most efficient way possible. When she's not working, Bryony can be found walking the footpaths of East Devon with her partner and their 2 dogs (with the odd cosy pub stop involved) or spending time with family.You will find Bryony here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/theeasyppeasymarketinggroupWant to connect?

The government has published its Employment Rights Bill - so what will it mean for farmers and the staff who work for them? Its key proposals include protection against unfair dismissal from day one, flexible working, improved rights for sick pay, bereavement and parental leave, and a move to regulate zero hours contracts. Most of the planned changes won't take effect until 2026 and there'll be a period of consultation between now and then. Conservationists have long argued that the reintroduction of beavers can help reduce the risk of flooding - the dams they build slow the flow of water in rivers, holding it back from built-up areas further downstream. Well, beavers have been living wild on the River Otter in East Devon for at least 16 years, but last year, there was significant flooding in the area.And some Welsh farmers have claimed they are having to choose between the risk of polluting rivers or breaking the law, ahead of a controversial muck-spreading ban. New rules forbid slurry spreading across Wales from mid October to January, in an effort to protect water quality. NFU Cymru says there is "enormous concern" after wet conditions have hampered efforts to empty slurry stores ahead of the deadline. But the organisation representing Welsh rivers' trusts say farmers have had years to prepare for the changes. Presented by Caz Graham Produced by Heather Simons
Word Forest is thrilled to launch a new food-based fundraising initiative enabling our amazing supporters to mitigate the climate emergency in a convivial way. Our charity co-founders, Tracey and Simon West, trialled the concept of a Word Forest Bring & Share Vegan Lunch at two local venues in recent months.

The star-studded English Riviera Food and Music Festival was cancelled just weeks before it was due to happen in May after the company running it stopped trading – leaving ticketholders and taxpayers out of pocket. Ollie Heptinstall and Guy Henderson also discuss an ageism row in East Devon that's left a retirement property developer very unhappy. The firm's boss has hit back after councillors refused dozens of new retirement homes in the town centre, claiming Exmouth is at “saturation point” with them while the population is getting “older and older.” Plus, more than three decades after it launched, we hear from the founder of Devon Air Ambulance about how the charity began and what's next. And, rounding off this week's podcast, get your dancing shoes at the ready for a bit of dosey-doeing as a new barn dancing tour comes to the South West this summer. We speak to Sara Rhodes, associate director of Theatre Royal Plymouth, which is behind the idea.
In this episode, we are joined by two key voices in the 'beavers and farming' world. Keen to better understand what it's really like to have wild beavers living on your land, we're joined by the Head of Wildlife and Conservation, Sam Bridgewater, and Head of Agriculture, Sam Briant-Evans, at Clinton Devon Estates - a major landowner stewarding 25,000 acres across East Devon's River Otter Catchment. The estate was a core partner in the River Otter Beaver Trial, working with Devon Wildlife Trust, the University of Exeter and Derek Gow Consultancy on the game-changing five-year study. The trial, from 2015-2020, determined that beavers could provide benefits to both nature and people if allowed to live wild in the English countryside. Three years on, and the reality of living with beavers is a daily task. The beavers themselves can need careful management, and often a big and important consideration is working with local communities and other stakeholders to ensure that everyone is aware and informed of the various impacts. Both Sams' offer fascinating and honest insights into the highs and lows of managing beavers, and how a well-managed, supported future alongside them is something we must expect and hope for. Also coming up: another riveting #FactOff challenge and Eva sees how beavery Sophie really is in the QUIZ. Need we say more? Dive on in! Would you like to discuss anything from this episode with our expert team? We want to hear from you: Beaver Trust. Want more beaver?

Dear ListenerWelcome to the second new episode for Faequinox, a month of faeries to celebrate Spring equinox, here on the Faery Whispering podcast and my Faery Whisperer Patreon community.I'm releasing Episode 5 on International Women's Day. This is very apt as my guest for this episode works with women and nature. My guest Katheryn Eliane Hope is a Women's Transformational Empowerment Coach.I invited Katheryn onto the podcast as she is very knowledgeable about working with plants for healing and I knew she would have some wonderful wisdom and insights to share with us. At Samhain, or Halloween as its also known, I took the train to Exmouth, Katheryn picked me up and drove us to her home for some lunch and then for a walk at Mutters Moor, which is a woodland high above Sidmouth in East Devon. This place is full of mystical ancient history. There used to be a stone circle here of seven stones. However, in the 1830, due to the romantic notions of the time, and no protection for ancient sites, the stones were removed to nearby Bicton House and used to decorate a grotto which is now called the Fernery. I've made a note to visit sometime. Katheryn shares her childhood experience of hearing a strange sound whilst playing out in nature and her encounter with the oak wizard, whilst journeying with an oak tree.Katheryn has recorded a special message and interpreted a message from the trees for my patrons. I have also included guidance on some fun tree connection activities that Katheryn and I experimented with and had some wonderful results with.This is a gentle and nourishing episode, enjoy and thank you for listening!Claire xShow Title music: Witch's Lullaby – Steve Sciulli from the album ‘The Singing Life of Plants' www.singinglifeofplants.bandcamp.com/track/witchs-lullabySupport the Podcast on my Faery Whisperer Buy Me A Coffee Page See Show Notes on my podcast blog www.twitter.com/FaeryWhispering Faery Whispering Facebook group The Faery Whisperer YouTube Channel

In this week's episode, we visit East Devon and check out some great sights and things to do around the area. We also take a short trip to Arme, in Dorset, and there is a quick update on the channel's future. YouTube - www.youtube.com/richardchubb Transcription of Podcast - Auto-Generated so apologies for any weird words!! Hello, everybody. It's Friday, December the 10th, this is episode 30, and welcome back to the podcast. Hello, hello, hello and good morning, good afternoon or good evening to whenever and wherever you are listening to this podcast today, it is great to have you welcome. If you're new here. Welcome. And if you are returning visitor and welcome back, it's great to have all of you and welcome to the show is another Friday. Another week has gone by and as you may know, I am still catching up on talking about all the things I've done over the past few months. Today, I'm going to talk about a couple of things that we have done in September with the help of my photo library, because that is how I kind of track and remind myself where I've been and what we did. So I'm going to be flicking between screens. If you hear the odd click, that will be why. What if you are new here, then what is this podcast all about? Well, it is about mainly UK travel and largely in our camper van is done in conjunction with my website, Richard dot com, and also with the few videos that I put out over on YouTube, which is YouTube.com forward slash Richard Chubb. And this week I've made a bit of a decision to really focus on. They're going to stick with UK travel, but I'm really going to concentrate on the campervan side of things and you know, it's tough to get out all the time with a family and school and things like that. So I'm going to be doing a little mini trips, possibly on my own day trips out in the van, sharing tips and tricks that I do when I'm out and about and talking about the gear that I use and any tips or advice I can think of. So if you are a campervan lover, you have definitely come to the right place. If you are just generally a travel lover again, you're in the right place, particularly if that is UK. And if you have some weird fascination with listening to a strange person talk, then you are also in the right place. So we are going to quickly jump to watch a bit of a catch up to take take you around a few places because one, we did a trip in September that it was only one trip, but we got to see lots and lots. So let us transport you on an adventure to East Devon. We had three nights in a campsite called Oak Down Tauren Park or I think is Oak Down Touring and Holiday Park something like that? Really good campsites. It's got a great some great facilities there. Nice big, spacious pitches, award winning according to all the signs they've got everywhere around the park. And so it was a great campsite, great for the kids. There was a play park and a, you know, golf like a little pitch and thing and, you know, nearby lots of places to see which I'll get into. And we it took us about two and a half hours to get there from the new forest. We headed out west to East Devon and we stopped at Lyme Regis first and foremost, which is a great little beach side of COVI type. And there's not really a cove, actually. It's a sort of pebble shingle, beach fishing, lots of fishing boats hanging around and the usual beachside attractions, kayaks and trampoline and things like that. We had lunch in the van and took a walk along the beach as a as a little break up of the journey, and then we got tied down and parked up on a pitch. That was it was very nice. It was very spacious. We were obviously a few tents and camper vans that obviously had come together. He had never quite sure what to expect, but everything was fine. They were respectful. We wasn't noisy. The noise and more

In this episode I visit the Axmouth to Lyme Regis National Nature Reserve - commonly known as the Undercliffs. It is an incredible seven mile long strip of coastal land dominated by vegetated landslips, cliffs, hidden pinnacles, self-seeded Ash woodland, ponds, springs, patches of chalk grassland, and remote beaches on the East Devon Coast. You can see the photos, hear more audio, and see some drone footage at whatifyoujustleaveit.info and this podcast comprises an interview with Tom Sunderland, the Reserve Manager, and Rob Beard, the Reserve Warden, who work for Natural England. They talk about what management means, both in the context of traditional nature conservation and of rewilding, and how the Undercliffs fits into this. The webpage also gives an additional interview with volunteer Donald Campbell, who was awarded an OBE for his work on the Undercliffs. My thanks to Tom, Rob, Donald and also Lyme Regis Museum. Any comments and reviews very welcome, and thank you for listening.
Should dogs be kept on leads all the time whenever they're out in the countryside? The Country Land and Business Association says yes. There's been a 10% increase in dog attacks on sheep since this time last year, but there's another problem dogs can cause for farmers: parasites found in some dog poo can be passed on to cattle, and can even cause cows to abort calves. Charlotte Smith hears from a dairy farmer about the emotional and financial impact of getting the infection in a herd. Peat is a major ingredient in compost used by gardeners and farmers alike. But it's harvested from the wild, damaging peatland habitats and releasing carbon into the atmosphere. The Royal Horticultural Society has announced it will be completely peat free by 2025 as it switches to other growing media including sphagnum moss. But does it come as too little, too late? We find out more about a project in East Devon to recreate a huge tidal wetland at Budleigh Salterton. A 200 year old sea embankment will be breached, to allow fields in the estuary of the River Otter to flood, creating salt marsh and mud flats, with the aim of improving habitats and capturing carbon. And we bring you the sounds of Spring on the farm - from new calves and lambs, to the last seeds being planted. Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced for BBC Audio by Heather Simons
Some 8,000 bluebell bulbs are being painstakingly re-planted in a wood in Norfolk, after they were dug up illegally. Police were called to the woodland by a walker, and found large sacks and mail bags filled with recently uprooted bulbs. British bluebells are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act along with all other native wild plants and bulbs. Caz Graham finds out what drives wild flower theft. For arable farmers Spring is the moment when most crops are usually safely in the ground, and some are hopefully getting well established. Planting, or drilling as it’s called on farms, will have started back in September and usually continues through until the end of March. Last year the exceptionally wet autumn and winter meant drilling was delayed, and last year's harvest suffered as a result. So how is this year shaping up so far? Anna Hill visits an organic farm in Norfolk to find out. And in East Devon a major project has just got underway to recreate a huge tidal wetland at Budleigh Salterton. A 200 year old sea embankment will be breached to allow fields in the estuary of the River Otter to flood, creating salt marsh and mud flats, with the aim of improving habitats and capturing carbon. The project will cost £15 million, with money coming from the Environment Agency, the landowner and the EU as part of a wider project that could create another 70 tidal wetlands on the South coast of England and the North coast of France. We hear from the landowner. Presented by Caz Graham Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons

Today we’re talking beavers, a ban on wild camping, and a ‘challenging’ harvest 2020. Wildlife enthusiasts are celebrating because the beavers can stay. Defra has granted a wild group of beavers in East Devon the right to remain. It’s the first re-introduction of a native mammal in England which some hope can be replicated across the country. As of yesterday wild camping has been banned in part of the Dartmoor National Park in Devon. The park authority says it had no choice after an influx of people treated the area ‘like a rubbish dump.’ 'Challenging' seems to be the most polite word being used to describe the harvest in 2020 so far. It’s been a difficult growing season, from drought to downpours and all things in between, not to mention Brexit uncertainty and a global pandemic, and farmers across the country are reporting disappointing yields. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Hilary Mantel analyses how historical fiction can make the past come to life. She says her task is to take history out of the archive and relocate it in a body. "It's the novelist's job: to put the reader in the moment, even if the moment is 500 years ago." She takes apart the practical job of "resurrection", and the process that gets historical fiction on to the page. "The historian will always wonder why you left certain things out, while the literary critic will wonder why you left them in," she says. How then does she try and get the balance right? The lecture is recorded in front of an audience in Exeter, near Mantel's adopted home in East Devon, followed by a question and answer session. The Reith Lectures are chaired by Sue Lawley and produced by Jim Frank.
Simon provides a fascinating perspective relating to green infrastructure and the planning process, the challenges of engaging developers and house builders, and working with communities to achieve the best outcomes for Exeter and East Devon.

In this weeks show I join Devon and Somerset Gliding Club at North Hill in East Devon and get my first taste of aerotowing, my first flight in the well-respected fibreglass ASK-21 training glider and I get a whiff of competition gliding at the curiously-named 'Competition Enterprise'. And I also find myself in my first busy thermal with 5 or 6 other gliders. And this week, prompted by a question from a listener and a comment from my instructor at the airfield, I think it's time to make sense of keeping my weight under control to avoid the embarrassing risk of being grounded.
