This document is not to be used by any third party without the written agreement of Landsmith Associates and Tor Ecology Limited. All photos copyright of Tor Ecology/Jenni Reid unless otherwise stated. 2 © Executive Summary Buckfastleigh Town Council are in the process of producing a Neighbourhood Plan (NP) for the Parish of Buckfastleigh and Buckfast for the period 2017 – 2027. This ambitious document details the aspirations and direction of the community. The Town Council commissioned this Green Infrastructure Strategy (GIS) to support the emerging NP. Analysis completed during the site appraisal identified that the Parish is an area rich in biodiversity and landscape value, however it lacks in pedestrian access and an interconnected off-road cycle network, the public realm is lacking in cohesion and continuity and flood events are common, negatively impacting on local business and residents. A range of proposals have been outlined within this strategy to inform future growth, including enhancement of biodiversity networks, creation of a more sustainable and active travel network and improvement of key gateway sites. This document is intended as an outline document only, providing a direction and proposals to be brought forward in the future by the Community and the Parish.

  • Buckfastleigh and Buckfast Draft Neighbourhood Plan 2016-2026
    BUCKFASTLEIGH AND BUCKFAST DRAFT NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2016-2026 - SHAPING OUR FUTURE, BUILDING UPON OUR PAST October 2016 1 2 Foreword Welcome to Buckfastleigh and Buckfast Parish Draft Neighbourhood Plan. This report has been written by local residents, together with technical advice from a planning consultant and from Devon Communities Together. It is a ‘bottom up’ plan, devised by local people who have, in turn, consulted widely with neighbours and those who live and work in the parish, young and old. It is our vision for the town and parish that we would like to see developing over the next ten years. We hope you will support it. On the front cover are two logos. The first is of the Town Council, who invited residents to produce the plan eighteen months ago. The second logo is from Buckfast Abbey and is used as part of the plans to celebrate the Abbey and the parish’s millennium in 2018. Following a widely publicised and well attended public meeting in the town hall in November 2013, around twenty local residents including some town councillors, volunteered to work on producing the plan. Some took photos, some consulted young people, some organised the various public meetings, some laid out the trestle tables, some joined sub groups, some did research, some put pen to paper, and others drew maps. People volunteered the time they could spare and we are all enormously grateful for that. We greatly appreciate the help that the Town Council, Buckfastleigh Community Newsletter, Buckfast Residents’ Association Newsletter, Buckfastleigh Library, Buck the Trend and Buckfastleigh Community Forum gave us to promote our public meetings and to publicise progress.

  • Environment Agency Plan
    e/V - Soc-TH uJirsT UETVPS - ?■ Environment agency plan RIVER DART ACTION PLAN |ULY 1998 Environment Agency Foreword Foreword The integrated management of the environment is a fundamental philosophy for the Environment Agency with Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs) taking a key role in this approach. The River Dart Local Environment Agency Plan aims to promote integrated environmental management of this important area of Devon. It seeks to develop partnerships with a wide range of organisations and individuals who have a role to play in the management of the River Dart. It is vital that the needs of all uses of the area, including flora and fauna, are balanced to ensure continued protection of these precious assets. This Action Plan epitomises the Agency's commitment to protect and where necessary enhance the environment through the Agency's own actions or in association with other organisations. We are very grateful for the contributions made during the consultation period and are convinced that they represent the spirit of partnership that will be required to implement the plan.

  • Dartmoor Headwaters Natural Flood Management (NFM) Project
    Dartmoor Headwaters Natural Flood Management (NFM) Project A partnership between Dartmoor National Park and the Environment Agency June 2020 Newsletter The Dartmoor Headwaters NFM pilot project (2018-2021) is hosted by Dartmoor National Park Authority, funded by the Environment Agency and operates in five Dartmoor catchments: Mardle, Dean Burn, Colly Brook, Black Brook and Erme (Hanger Down only). The pilot is looking at the effectiveness of using natural river processes, land management techniques and soft engineering approaches to reduce the risk of flooding to downstream communities. The broad objectives are to demonstrate a reduction in flood risk to properties currently adversely affected by flooding and also to demonstrate that NFM can make a difference in reducing flood peaks and to sedimentation. Some of the wider benefits of the pilot include improved water quality, better carbon storage and the enhanced biodiversity of the upper moor. Working on the commons however is not without challenge, a complex landscape of designations for archaeology and biodiversity and the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, which regulates all activity on the commons. Much work goes on behind the scenes obtaining consents and permissions, taking legal advice and liaising with landowners and commoners, all of which is not necessarily obvious on the ground. Covid-19 Work has continued during the Covid-19 restrictions with staff working from home but unable to make site visits and contractors unable to continue work on site. We are now beginning to resume site work and hope to get contractors back out working very soon, both for the benefit of project delivery and to support the local economy.
