00:00A beautiful day for a country walk, but the footpaths across these greenfields could soon
00:08pass through a landfill. A decision on a planning application for a landfill at Lower Brenton
00:14Farm was supposed to be made today, and campaigners against the landfill were quietly hopeful
00:19after Devon's planning manager last week recommended that bosses are refused to give
00:24the site the green light. However, the decision has now been deferred until April. Campaign
00:30group residents against the landfill were confused about why the decision was allowed
00:33to be delayed.
00:34Unfortunately, DCC decided last Friday, unjustly, unconstitutionally and potentially unlawfully
00:35to defer the decision without discussion with the fellow members of the DMC until 2nd April.
00:53Today's walk was not specifically a protest against the planned landfill itself, but about
01:02the way it's going to be determined.
