Atmos Project to develop the Dairy Crest site in Totnes is groundbreaking. It puts the needs of the community above profit, delivering the jobs and housing the town desperately need. Our campaign aims to see the realisation of this groundbreaking project.What can we do?
The Atmos Project is critically a delivery plan focused on meeting urgent need. Through extensive feasability work the people of Totnes made the site viable, putting it on the cutting edge of thinking in terms of what community-focused, inclusive, sustainable development needs to look like.

“Atmos is one of the most groundbreaking proposals for community-led developments in the UK today. Based on my own research and experience over the last twenty years, Atmos is a classic win-win project for local and central government, local businesses and the community. We face huge challenges as a nation to build a net-zero, more resilient society by the 2030s. Atmos is part of that solution, and should be prioritised as such”.
“I’m horrified that the community-led development of the dairy site by Atmos Totnes is hanging in the balance. This kind of future-thinking development can transform local economies and is exactly what we need as we emerge from Covid-19. We must ‘bounce forwards’ not fall back on conventional development that has failed so badly for so long.”
