The report presents a profile of Great Torrington, providing information and commentary on matters such as: population, housing growth and needs, economic activity, service provision and infrastructure capacity, environmental considerations and development opportunities and constraints. It is through the examination of these matters that informed decisions will be made about the towns future needs. 1.2 The purpose of the report is to support community focused consultation related to the North Devon and Torridge Joint Core Strategy. The Core Strategy is the first of the Local Development Framework development plan documents prepared by North Devon and Torridge District Councils. It is the most important document in determining how the area will evolve. Through the Core Strategy, direction will be given to guide the location, form and scale of development that is required to meet the areas long term needs. 1.3 It is essential that local aspirations are reflected through the Core Strategy’s vision and objectives. Through further town focused consultations it is hoped that locally relevant and community supported visions can be established. 2 Overview 2.1 Great Torrington is a historic market town that developed on the trading route between Barnstaple and Plymouth. It occupies an elevated site east of the river Torridge some 11 kilometres (7 miles) south of Bideford. It is an elongated settlement accessed by the A386, B3227 and B3232. 2.2 Great Torrington has a rich built and natural heritage, much of which still dictates the character, form and appearance of the settlement, part of which pre-dates the market town. Historically the town held regular markets and fairs and thrived on local agriculture and wool industries. A flourishing glove manufacturing industry in the 19th Century brought pressure for urban development along New Street towards The Commons. More recently in the 1990s the fortunes of the town suffered a setback with the loss of a number of locally significant employers, including Dairy Crest. 2.3 The town is the second largest settlement in Torridge and it contains a range of services and community facilities that reflect the towns role as an important service centre. The range of facilities include independent and national retail outlets, primary and secondary schools and a community health centre, serving the needs of both urban and rural communities. Significant tourist attractions within and close to Great Torrington include: Dartington Crystal, Torrington 1646, the Tarka Trail and RHS Rosemoor, all of which contribute to the range of available facilities and attractions of Great Torrington. Population 2.4 The town has grown steadily over the last 20 years, with development focused to the north of the town. The parish population has increased by 27% over the period 1991-2010, providing an annualised increase of about 60 persons per year. The population increased from 4,493 residents in 1991 to 5,279 in 2001 and then to a projected level of 5,716 in 2010. The highest rate of population growth occurred 1991 - 2001 (17.5%). Great Torrington Town Study 3 Great Torrington Town Study 2.5 From 2001 to 2010 the population of Great Torrington increased by 438 people (8.3%). This rate of increase was less than that experienced in other Torridge Towns (Holsworthy, Northam and Bideford) and across the District as a whole. The variance in population growth across the referenced geographic areas is illustrated in Table 1. 2.6 The age distribution within Great Torrington is generally characteristic of the wider geographic area presented in Table 1. The proportion of the Great Torrington population within the age bands: 20-39, 40-59 and 80+ is comparable to that of Torridge District and Devon. A degree of variance within the Great Torrington population does however occur through a higher than average proportion of population being within the age band 0-19 and a lower than average population proportion being within the age band 60-79. 2.7 The increasing age of the areas population is reflective of a national trend. In 2008, 19% of the population in the South West was estimated to be 65 years and older. By 2033 more than a quarter of the population of the South West is expected to be 65 and over. The population in Great Torrington, other Torridge towns and the Torridge District already exceeds these levels(1). 2.8 The population of Great Torrington is predicted to increase by 940 people between 2006 and 2021, an increase of 7.8%. Within this increasing population, it is predicted that the total number in the younger age groups (0 to 19) will decrease by 7.3%. The 20 - 44 year age band is also predicted to decrease by 9.9%. Population increases are predicated within the age band 45 – 64 by 11.9% and the older age groups (65 years and older) are due to see an increase of 44.3%. The largest change is predicted to be in the 70 - 74 age group with an increase of 55.9%.

    EEC/07/63/HQ Environment, Economy and Culture Overview/Scrutiny Committee 5 March 2007 Market and Coastal Towns Report of the Director of Environment, Economy and Culture 1. Summary In January 2006, members received a report on the draft Devon Sites and Premises Strategy and as a result expressed concern about the shortage of premises for smaller businesses. It was resolved that a further report be submitted, which covered economic development issues relating to Market Towns, including the availability of sites for relocation of small businesses and the Market and Coastal Town initiative (MCTi). This report concentrates on work undertaken in association with the MCTi pending further analysis of specific matters relevant to business premises. 2. Background In the South West, the MCTi commenced in 2000 and was led by the Regional Development Agency, Countryside Agency and English Heritage, with support from many other bodies. The scheme received greater emphasis following the incidence of Foot and Mouth Disease and a number of towns adversely affected were included in the programme. Since October 2004, delivery of the initiative has been charged to the Market and Coastal Towns Association (MCTA). This is an independent organisation largely funded by the Regional Development Agency, English Heritage and Big Lottery Fund. The initiative is a community based regeneration programme focusing on the preparation, by local people, of a long term Community Strategic Plan covering the social, economic, environmental and cultural features of their town and its hinterland. The MCTA delivers capacity building support to communities, enabling them to prepare the plans and develop their skills and organisational capacity while sharing good practice with others.

    Our Plan’, a New Strategic Plan for West Devon

    Shaping our communities to 2031 Regulation 19 Publication Version February 2015 West Devon - A Leading Rural Council Foreword Welcome to ‘Our Plan’, a new strategic plan for West Devon. Whilst the Core Strategy was a plan for future growth and development to take us from 2006 to 2026, since it was written planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and in conformity with this national policy. This new plan also has to cover a wider range of issues that go beyond traditional planning policy and it makes more sense to write a new plan rather than try and amend the existing ones. Therefore, ‘Our Plan’ will be the overarching strategic plan for the Borough of West Devon up to 2031. Developing a new plan is always challenging and it is often controversial with different sectors and individuals in our communities understandably seeing things from their own view point. However, we need to remember that we are planning for the communities of tomorrow not just for ourselves today. What we do now will have a significant impact on how people live their lives in West Devon in the future. Our biggest challenge is enabling growth and providing much needed homes and jobs whilst, at the same time, protecting the beautiful place that is West Devon - no mean feat as I’m sure you can appreciate. To do this we have gathered and considered evidence about local need and the views and comments shared by you and a wide range of partners during the process have helped us to shape a plan that we believe takes account of local needs and aspirations.
