  • Sediment Yields in the Exe Basin: a Longer-Term Perspective
    Sediment Dynamics and the Hydromorphology of Fluvial Systems (Proceedings of a symposium held in 12 Dundee, UK, July 2006). IAHS Publ. 306, 2006. Sediment yields in the Exe Basin: a longer-term perspective ANNA HARLOW, BRUCE WEBB & DES WALLING School of Geography, Archaeology and Earth Resources, Department of Geography, Amory Building, Rennes Drive, Exeter EX4 4RJ, UK [email protected] Abstract In the UK, fine sediment is viewed increasingly as a diffuse pollu- tant due to its role as a vector for the transport of potential contaminants, and in causing siltation, which may have adverse effects on river and estuarine habitats. There is a need, therefore, for river managers to have reliable information on sediment budgets in order to plan measures that will achieve “good” status under the EU Water Framework Directive. As part of a wider sediment-budget investigation in the EU-funded Cycleau Project, detailed records of fine sediment yield over the 10-year period from 1994–2003 have been analysed for the Exe Basin (1500 km2), a principal river system of southwest England. The longer-term average yields in the three major tributaries of the Exe Basin are discussed and results of monitoring of sediment loads at a site near the tidal limit over a one-year period confirm the importance of the River Exe in contributing sediment to the Estuary. Key words diffuse pollution; Exe Basin and estuary; longer-term behaviour; suspended sediment yields INTRODUCTION River systems provide a key pathway along which fine sediment (silt and clay particles of <63 µm in diameter) is transferred from the terrestrial to the estuarine environment.

  • 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.

  • Copplestone Primary School Newsletter [email protected]
    Copplestone Primary School Newsletter [email protected] Edition 15 Friday 3rd May 2019 Message from Head of School: Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed the amazing weather over Easter and some well-deserved rest and relaxation. We came back to school with a bang – especially in Year 4, who enjoyed a wonderful residential trip and a range of outdoor activities. All of the children enjoyed it immensely and a huge thanks to Mrs Marshall for organising everything and to Ms Webber who accompanied us. We have taken a lot of photos but I found a couple of group ones to share in this newsletter so you can see how much fun we were all having. Red Class wowed us at their Crediton Schools Music event at the Great Hall, Exeter before the holidays. They played their instruments with skill and sang beautifully. We were all very proud of you! This week the last few children from Year 5 took part in their Bikeability training. They did very well, listening carefully to the instructions and learning how to ride safely on the roads. Thank you to the CPTA for three great events last term: Bunny Bouncing, Mother’s Day Shop and the Fish and Chip Quiz night. All were well supported and very enjoyable, raising funds for the school so we can enhance the children’s curriculum and learning. The uniform samples have now been finalised and further information about this will be coming out soon in a letter. Many thanks for all the many feedback comments we had from children, parents and staff.

  • A CASE STUDY Paul Canning1 the Exe Estuary Is
    DETERMINING A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO MANAGING AN ESTUARY MOUTH – A CASE STUDY Paul Canning1 Estuaries and their floodplains represent locations where significant population, industry and environmental interests exist. Sand spits located at estuary mouths are one factor in influencing both hydrodynamics and geomorphology. As such, their management is important as regards managing both flood and coastal risk, and the evolution of designated flora and fauna. This paper describes a study to develop a way forward for managing Dawlish Warren sand spit, located at the mouth of the Exe Estuary in Devon, UK. Dawlish Warren sand spit is important as it influences geomorphological evolution of the mouth and wider estuary, provides storm sheltering for up to 2,900 properties and national transport infrastructure in the estuary, is an internationally designated Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and influences the wider Exe Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA). Keywords: climate change, adaptation, sustainable, estuaries OVERVIEW OF EXISTING SITUATION The Exe Estuary is located in Devon, UK (see Figure 1). It is a spit enclosed drowned river valley (Defra, 2007), which has been subjected to marine inundation caused by a rise in sea level at the end of the most recent glaciation (which ended c. 12,000 years ago). The Exe Estuary has a shoreline length of 40km, channel length of 16km, valley width 2km and a mouth width of 380m. It is classified as macrotidal with a range of 4m, whilst the River Exe (the main tributary) has a mean flow of 23m3/s, and a maximum of 371m3/s. At the mouth of the Exe Estuary, the sand spit of Dawlish Warren covers approximately three quarters of the estuary mouth width, and consequently potentially shelters the estuary from the coastal swell wave climate, as well as influencing the propagation of extreme tide levels.
