DNPA Planning email service

Dartmoor National Park Authority Planning department have informed us of a forthcoming change to their planning notification email system:

We will shortly be introducing a weekly planning alerts subscription service, which will allow consultees and members of the public to sign up to receive a weekly list of newly registered planning applications and notifications.

To sign up to this service, please click on the link below:

Sign-Up to Planning Alerts | Dartmoor

Importantly, we will continue issuing neighbourhood notification emails as normal until 1 May 2026, after which the new subscription service will become the primary way to receive regular updates.

We would be grateful if parish councils could share this information locally and encourage anyone who wishes to continue receiving updates to subscribe using the link above.

Community Police meeting 19th Feb 2pm Christow

Your local Neighbourhood Team will be at CHRISTOW at The Bus Stop by The Community Shop, Village Road, Christow, EX6 7WA on 19th February 2026 at 2-3pm.

Please take this opportunity to raise any concerns you may have and to find out what the Police are doing to tackle the issues that matter to you.

Weather warning update from TDC

The Met Office has issued further yellow warnings for rain covering both today (Thursday 29th January) from 12:00 to 23:59 and tomorrow (Friday 30th) from 12:00 until 06:00 on Saturday morning (31st).

The level of rain expected is nowhere near the levels experienced with Storm Charna, but as it is falling on saturated ground there is a greater likelihood of localised flooding.

Please pass this message on to your communities, encourage preparedness measures such as moving parked vehicles to higher ground, and caution, particularly around driving through floodwater which required multiple fire service attendances over the past week.

We at TDC are continuing to liaise around the clock with multi-agency colleagues from the emergency services, DCC, Environment Agency, Met Office and others, and will keep you updated with any developments.
