Campaigners fighting plans to develop Yelland Quay into 250 homes, none of which would be affordable, are celebrating this week after North Devon Council.

Controversial plans for the major redevelopment of the former Yelland power station on the North Devon waterfront have been deferred for further negotiations with developers over the proposed scheme.
There had been more than 800 objections to the proposals – with only two letters of support – but planners had recommended that the scheme for Yelland Quay be approved when North Devon Council’s planning committee discussed the proposals on Wednesday morning.
The scheme includes 250 new homes, employment land, retail space, cafes and restaurants, indoor sports provision, public halls, with a unique community centre building to be found almost floating at the heart of this mini development.
