> > Sustainable Woodland Community gains planning permission
> >
> > Today the inhabitants of Steward Community Woodland received a 5 year
>temporary planning permission to continue their sustainable woodland living
>project.
> > This decision comes as the culmination of two years of planning
>applications and appeals to the Dartmoor National Park Authority and the
>Planning Inspectorate.
> > The permission means that the 7 benders and assorted communal structures
>(bikeshed, longhouse, kitchen, workshop) are now safe, and that the
>community now have a five year period to further develop the project and
>achieve their aims.
> > The permission has been granted subject to various conditions to safeguard
>the low impact nature of the project, and the Dartmoor National Park
>Authority will have the chance to annually assess the group's progress.
> >
> > Pete Cow, a member of the community, comments:
> > "We are overjoyed by this far sighted decision, which shows that the
>Planning Inspectorate recognises the importance of our project, and fully
>supports what we are doing here.
> > We knew it would be a struggle to get planning permission under the
>present planning system as it makes no systematic allowances for low impact
>developments of this kind. We are delighted to finally get a positive
>result after all our hard work.
> > It is heartening to see the Inspectorate referring to the Rio Declaration,
>Agenda 21 and the Government's commitments to supporting sustainable
>practice.
> > The planning conditions attached to this permission will ensure that this
>project remains sustainable and continues to have a positive impact on the
>local ecology and the surrounding community."
