Devon CPRE, the environmental campaign charity, has issued a battle call to supporters to sign and share an online petition against what would be one of Europe’s largest solar arrays

Devon CPRE is supporting the local community near Holsworthy in spearheading a campaign to ward off plans for a mega solar farm that would cover 2,700 acres, 10 times the size of any previous proposal.

The need for collective organisation to fight bad planning policies and decisions and the importance of evidence-based preservation were the themes running through this year's Devon CPRE AGM.

Devon CPRE is leading the fight against proposals to build the largest solar farm in Devon to date.

Throughout the summer of 2025, Devon CPRE has been using its new 'Decimation Game' to engage with people at Devon's agricultural shows who share the charity's concerns about changes that are threatening to decimate farming and the face of the countryside as we know it.

Devon CPRE's Chair Steve Crowther interviewed by ITV Westcountry's Richard Lawrence at the 2025 Devon County Show in a report about new government policies that threaten to decimate farming and take out ten percent of the county's agricultural land.

TV star John Nettles presents this short film, commissioned by Devon CPRE, to spearhead the charity's campaign against proposals for ever-larger solar farms that threaten to despoil Devon's green and pleasant countryside.

Our small, independent Devon-based charity is fighting to stop the giant, international solar farm developers from ruining our countryside, taking out fields that are vital for sustainable food production and carbon storage.
