The site has remained undeveloped until the present day and currently forms part of a series of fields used for agricultural purposes. Based on the desk study and a soakaway investigation undertaken by Ruddlesden geotechnical ltd in March 2010, expected ground conditions comprise a thin mantle of topsoil over the Permian Watcombe Breccia Formation, comprising firm red brown slightly sandy gravelly clay. Traditional strip or trench-fill foundations are likely to be suitable to support the proposed structures. No radon protective measures are required, however the development site is located within 250m of a landfill site. In order to fully assess the potential risk of potentially hazardous ground gas, it is recommended that in-situ gas testing be carried out to identify the levels of gas present so that appropriate gas protection measures can be recommended. The results of this preliminary contamination risk assessment indicate there to be no probable significant possibility of significant harm to human health or to the water environment from contamination and that, with the exception of ground gas, no remedial measures or further action is required. In order to confirm both the geotechnical and environmental recommendations, an intrusive investigation comprising both trial pits and window sample boreholes with associated laboratory testing and gas monitoring is required. Phase 1: Preliminary Geotechnical and Contamination Assessment Report Report Ref: SR/NF/DT/09458/PGCAR v Charles Road, Kingskerswell Ruddlesden geotechnical ltd 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General It is proposed to develop land at Charles Road, Kingskerswell, Newton Abbot, Devon, for residential purposes. In order to gain background information to aid the design and construction of the new development, a Phase 1: Preliminary Geotechnical and Contamination Assessment has been undertaken which included the study of old Ordnance Survey maps, geological maps, environmental information, radon information and a walkover survey. The investigation was undertaken in June 2011 and carried out by Ruddlesden geotechnical ltd, acting on behalf of Cavanna Homes. 1.2 Scope of Investigation The investigation covers geotechnical and contamination aspects relating to the development. The brief was understood to comprise the following: Study historical, geological and environmental information relating to the site. Undertake walkover survey of the site. Make preliminary recommendations for foundations and associated structures. Comment on any other geotechnical matters arising from the investigation. Produce an initial conceptual model of the site. Undertake preliminary contamination risk assessment. Propose extent of any intrusive investigation required. Phase 1: Preliminary Geotechnical and Contamination Assessment Report Report Ref: SR/NF/DT/09458/PGCAR 1 Charles Road, Kingskerswell Ruddlesden geotechnical ltd 1.3 Scope of Report The report is presented as a description of the data obtained. This is followed by an interpretation and discussion of the results together with preliminary engineering recommendations for foundation design, a conceptual model of the site and preliminary contamination risk assessment. The final part of the report comprises proposals for any intrusive investigation required. Phase 1: Preliminary Geotechnical and Contamination Assessment Report Report Ref: SR/NF/DT/09458/PGCAR 2 Charles Road, Kingskerswell Ruddlesden geotechnical ltd 2 THE SITE 2.1 Site Location The site is located at Charles Road, Kingskerswell, Newton Abbot, Devon, see Appendix C. The British National Grid Reference of the site is 288630, 67040. The site is situated in a semi rural/ residential area, on the edge of the village of Kingskerswell, approximately 4 miles to the south of Newton Abbot town centre. The surrounding topography is relatively hilly. 2.2 Site Description The walkover survey revealed the site to be irregular in shape, measuring approximately 180m x 150m (2.4 hectares), and to be steeply sloping down from the east to the west. The site is covered in arable/ fallow ground. A small stream runs along the northern boundary, flowing in an east to west direction.

    RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 Foreword

    locafenvironment agency plan RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 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 Teign Catchment covers a popular area of Devon including part of Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon Heritage Coast. The towns of Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and Torquay are important economic and tourist centres and it is important that the assets of the catchment are maintained and protected both now and for future generations to enjoy. 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.

INTRODUCTION - a brief description of the river and its surrounding area. The Lemon is a lowland river in south Devon. It rises on Haytor Down at a height of about 400m above sea level, and runs south and east to Newton Abbot where it joins the River Teign. The-Lemon has several small tributaries including Kester Brook and Blackford Brook. The river cuts through alluvium and valley gravel deposits with the underlying geology consisting mainly of slates and mudstones, slates and shales and limestone. Until it reaches Newton Abbot, where the river is canalised,the valley is rural.

The Culm Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform theirdecision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The informationthey contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

INTRODUCTION CATCHMENT ACTION PLANS are designed to be a simple, practical means of directing resources to achieve environmental improvements on a priority basis, between and within catchments. They set out the essential routine tasks, and a five year programme of specific actions for each catchment to meet regional and national targets. Changes may occur where unplanned work such as an extreme drought requires priority. The NRA has inherited a legacy of environmental challenges arising from the use and abuse of our natural resources. Although significant progress has already been made it will be many years before all the work needed can be assessed, funded and carried out. To achieve the environmental objectives will require not just the clear, vigorous direction of the NRA towards priority work but the help and support of the whole community. The NRA has consulted with the Regional Advisory Board and Advisory Committees and the local interests about the draft action plans and the format is the outcome of those discussions. Progress to achieve the Action Plan objectives will normally be reviewed on an annual basis but more frequently where severe problems have been identified. 2. ROUTINE SERVICES Despite the fact that the NRA is largely a reactive, regulatory body it is possible to plan for much of the environmental protection work even the fact that unpredictable events will occur! Much of the routine workload such as monitoring, enforcement of statutes and dealing with pollution and flooding incidents needs to have clear priority to ensure that it is dealt with to satisfactory standards throughout the region.

    EEC/07/188/HQ Public Rights of Way Committee 10 July 2007 Definitive Map Review 2005-2007 Parish of Dunterton Report of the Director of Environment, Economy and Culture Please note that the following recommendation is subject to confirmation by the Public Rights of Way Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Committee note that to date there are no proposals for modifying the Definitive Map in the Parish of Dunterton. 1. Summary The report concerns the Definitive Map Review in the Parish of Dunterton. 2. Background The original survey under s. 27 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act, 1949, revealed no public rights of way to be recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement for Dunterton in the Tavistock Rural District. The reviews of the Definitive Map, under s. 33 of the 1949 Act, which commenced in the 1960s and 1970s but were never completed, produced no valid proposal for any addition, upgrading or deletion. The Limited Special Review of Roads Used as Public Paths (RUPPS), carried out in the 1970s, did not affect this parish. 3. Consultations The current review started in 2005 has consulted all statutory consultees and landowners. Proposals submitted to Devon County Council since the original Review were picked up, but produced no valid proposals for modification of the Definitive Map. General consultations have been carried out since January 2006 and the responses have been: County Councillor Mrs Marsh - no comment West Devon Borough Council - no comment Milton Abbot & Dunterton Parish Council - no comment British Horse Society - no comment Byways and Bridleways Trust - no comment Country Landowners' Association - no comment National Farmers' Union - no comment Open Spaces Society - no comment Ramblers' Association - no comment Trail Riders' Fellowship - no comment Cyclists Touring Club - no comment 4.

    local environment agency plan RIVER TEIGN CONSULTATION REPORT MARCH 1997 The River Teign Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) 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 Teign and Torbay Streams. This plan embodies the Agency’s commitment to realise improvements to the environment. An important stage in the production of the plans is a period of public consultation. This Consultation Report is being circulated widely both within and outside of the catchment and we are keen to draw on the expertise and interests of the local communities involved. Please comment - your views are important, even if it is to say that you think particular issues are necessary or that you support the plan and its objectives. Following on from the Consultation Report an Action Plan will be produced with an agreed programme for the future protection and enhancement of this much loved area. We will use these Plans to ensure that improvements in the local environment are achieved and that good progress is made towards the vision. VAA-£.r>------- GEOFF BATEMAN Area Manager (Devon) Environment -Au^ncy Information Centre Your Views We hope that this report will be read by everyone who has an interest in the environment of the River Teign Catchment. Your views will help us finalise the Action Plan. Have we identified all the problems in the catchment? If not, we would like to know. Are there any issues which you would like to highlight?
