A campaign's been launched in Devon to fight plans for a massive | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
new housing development on green fields. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
5,000 homes are planned for the Culm Garden Village | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
Campaigners say it'll destroy the character of the area | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Here's our Business Correspondent, Carys Edwards. | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Nestled on the edge of the Blackdown Hills, | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Kentisbeare has been described as a sleepy rural village. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
But it's now the centre of a fundraising campaign to battle | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
against plans to build 5,000 houses on its doorstep. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Some residents believe it will destroy their way of life. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
It is very much a rural idyll at the moment | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
It is going to be swamped with houses and concrete. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
It is going to be a building site for 20, 30 years. | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
But that's only the start of the damage. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
To the communities that are already here. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
This map shows the location of Kentisbeare as it is now, | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
A Garden Village with 5,000 homes is planned here in an area | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
stretching from close to Kentisbeare right up to the M5 at Cullompton. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
It will be like any other housing estate, and we are talking | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
We are not talking just a few houses, we are talking 5000 houses. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
With a minimum of probably 10,000 people. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
Phase one of this scheme, around junction 28, has now been | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
submitted to the government's planning inspectorate | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
It will include shops, schools and commercial space and 30% | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
Growth will lead to a change in terms of the character, | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
but what we will do, we will take pains to make sure that | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
that is mitigated and quite sensitively approached. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
And we will look at things like landscaping, green | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
infrastructure, allotments, parkland, there's a variety | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
of different ways that we actually do it. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
The plans will double the size of Cullompton. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
But many in the town are in favour of a new community. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
It's going to expand the town here to a mad size, really. | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
We will be joining up with Tiverton in a minute. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
I suppose it's better for the economy. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
But the group RACE, Residents against Cullompton exploitation | :02:31. | :02:40. | |
So far, they've raised ?7,000 and will hire planning experts | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
to persuade the government to reject or at least tone down the plans | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
One of the south west's biggest charities is cutting jobs due | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
The Dame Hannah Rogers Trust, known as Hannah's, has a 250 year | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
history of caring for children and adults with severe disabilities. | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
The charity has bases at Ivybridge and Seale Hayne near Newton Abbott. | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
Hannah's provides training, work, education and care | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
But the charity has run into financial problems. | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Up to 20 staff, won six of the total, are being made | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Three of a charity's five trustees are being replaced. | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
We have support now in place for the future. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
We certainly have been working very closely with our funders, | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
mainly the Co-operative Bank, and they are very much | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
behind the changes we are making to the charity. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
And I have every reason to expect that we will. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
About 1,500 disabled people use Hannah's services each year. | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
I was asked for an interview, but also took the opportunity | :04:00. | :04:10. | |
It's about the people who can come here and have a good time. | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
And you can buy things order lunch, and things. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Is a place where people can give back. | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
It is important to everybody, but especially when you are disabled. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
She doesn't want to just be cared for, she wants to be equal | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Hannah's 250-year history makes it one Briton's oldest charities. | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
Something that has received royal recognition with a visit | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
Hannah's problems stems from its purchase of the Seal Hayne site | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
This turnaround plan was designed to cut costs. | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
And to increase income, and so, to protect the services | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Its work and commercial events like weddings | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
As the charity strives to extend the legacy | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
of Dame Hannah Rogers into the future. | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
On to other news in the South West tonight. | :05:19. | :05:20. | |

The England rugby player Luke Cowan Dickie is to go on trial | :05:44. | :05:59. | |

to have exceeded the speed limit in a Mercedes near Exeter | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
last summer, and to have later failed to declare | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
The longest running Sunday paper in the UK, the Sunday Independent, | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
has ceased production with immediate effect. | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
Up to twenty full time staff will lose their jobs at the Liskeard | :06:21. | :06:24. | |

an 11th hour investor could come in to save it. | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
A poet from Dorset whose words are turned into operas about major | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
news stories says his local landscape allows his | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Ben Kaye has his words about hostages, refugees | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
His latest commission is for a piece about the Holocaust. | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
He's been telling us how the South West inspires his work. | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
Light bleaches slow as dying blood and flows remorseless to the ebb. | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
All words are swept aside like weed lost within the sea's caress. | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
Dorset has been my home for a long time and I find it a constant | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
The countryside is such a wonderful place to fire the imagination. | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
You have such open spaces and the open space allows | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
They came in darkness, they came at dawn, they came | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
I always start with a fact and then into those facts you start | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
to weave your own imagination in a way that turns it | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
into a while piece and also hopefully reflects the ultimate | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
I did a piece with John McCarthy about his five-year | :07:51. | :08:02. | |
Another move, another metal coffin in the base of a truck. | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
I did an opera about human trafficking. | :08:14. | :08:27. | |
So I've handled some pretty difficult subjects. | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
The latest project is an opera about the Holocaust, | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
but not just about the Holocaust, but also looking at | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Most people in the street I guess wouldn't equate a subject | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
like the Holocaust or modern-day extremism or any of these difficult | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
subjects I've covered with something like opera. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
But the power of the music and the power of the words come together. | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
It's as effective as any in terms of getting across a story. | :09:06. | :09:17. | |
Let's take a look at the weather now. | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
Yes, it has been lovely. The sun is bringing out the leaves on the | :09:20. | :09:34. | |
trees. Tomorrow it's a chilly start. They will be some cloud around but | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
again the sunshine will break through. The reason we have got | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
settled weather is this big day of high pressure and here to stay. It | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
will continue until the end of the week and hold with us as we move | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
into the weekend. A fair amount of clear sky at first tonight but more | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
cloud drifting down from the North and overnight temperatures will dip | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
down to six or 7 degrees. Tomorrow, another fine day. Cloud coming and | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
going through the day but it won't spoil the day. It will be dry with | :10:08. | :10:17. | |
sunny spells are many of us. The end of the week, high pressure is all | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
the rest which means more settled weather. We start the day Friday | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
rather cloudy but quickly the sun will break through. Some warm | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
sunshine in the afternoon taking temperatures to 14 degrees. The | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
temperatures get even higher than that as we head into the weekend | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
because Saturday and Sunday, both these dried, 16 degrees on Saturday | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
and up to the balmy heights of 18 degrees by Sunday. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
That's how the news and weather's looking tonight. | :10:47. | :10:47. | |
Our next update is in breakfast from 6.25am. | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
or 15. It is sunny towards the weekend and we could see the low 20s | :10:51. | :11:03. | |
by Sunday. Here is Darren with the national weather. | :11:04. | :11:05. |
