You will also have seen the public face of KIB in our teams of volunteers, proudly sporting their blue shirts, beavering away on the Town Square beds in all weathers. However there are many other aspects of our work. Of course there isn’t anything to do in the winter? Don’t you believe it! Our aim is an all year round team for an all year round town. Friday Jun 24th Maya Plass – “200 years on the seashore” As a highly successful marine ecologist, Maya is well-known here in Devon for her educational courses for children “Learn to Sea” and workshops for adults around our coastal waters. She has worked on international projects including in Argentina and is a regular guest presenter on “Spring Watch” as well as BBC “Coast”, while also appearing on ITV’s “Hungry Sailors”. Her talk relates to our changing relationships with the seashore over the centuries focusing on the importance of conservation. Friday Jul 22nd Roger Barrett – “The Salcombe Lifeboat Disaster” 2016 is the centenary of this tragic Lifeboat disaster. To mark the occasion, Roger Barrett (Curator of Salcombe Lifeboat Museum and Chairman of Salcombe Museum Society) has researched and just published his book on the subject. He will be telling us the story of that fateful day in October 1916 when thirteen lifeboat men lost their lives. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Speaker Secretary Jane Gray is stepping down as Speaker Secretary at the AGM after five years in the role.

  • Appendix – Main Modifications
    Appendix – Main Modifications The modifications below are expressed either in the conventional form of strikethrough for deletions and underlined bold text for additions, or by specifying the modification in words in italics. Ref Part of JLP Main modification (Submission version) affected MM1 Spatial Strategy – 1iii Strategically important local economic assets are protected for the purpose of economic activity. … Policy SPT1 3i The effective Efficient use of land is made for development through optimising reuse of previously developed sites, therefore reducing the need for greenfield development, protecting natural assets and creating opportunities for viable low carbon energy schemes. 3ii Overall gains in biodiversity are achieved by protecting and enhancing species, habitats and geological sites where possible. … MM2 Spatial Strategy – Amend Para 3.17: Figure 3.2 below sets out a series of measures that the LPAs will use in implementing Policy SPT2 para 3.17 Policy SPT2 and the other policies of the plan. The measures are aspirational, in the sense that they represent sustainability outcomes that are aspired to for an area. However, they also represent standards that individual development proposals will be considered against, as part of the overall planning judgment. The measures are not intended to be applied through an inflexible ‘tick box’ exercise to determine the acceptability or otherwise of development, given that such an approach could restrict development that is fundamentally sustainable and makes a significant positive contribution to delivering the vision and strategy of the plan. However, the measures do contribute to the overall planning judgement, including the need for appropriate mitigation. Some of these figures will be updated during the life of the plan.

  • February 2020 Harberton Parish Council Ordinary Meeting Minutes
    HARBERTON PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the ordinary meeting of Harberton Parish Council at 7.30pm on Tuesday 11th February 2020, Harbertonford CE Primary School. Councillor Attendance Councillor Attendance Councillor Attendance Cllr Beamish Not in attendance Cllr Camp Present D.Cllr McKay Present Cllr Bowley Present Cllr Davidson Present C.Cllr Hodgson Present Cllr Janes Present Cllr Hockings Present (8pm) Cllr McDonnell Present Cllr Phillips Present Clerk: Ms Radford Present Cllr Waite Present Cllr Williams Present Public 7 VACANCY VACANCY Public Session i) The Chair welcomed all members of the public (MOP) to the meeting. As all had attended the meeting to express an interest in joining an environment and climate action group, the Chair gave some background as to why the Parish Council had called for volunteers to come forward. The Chair commented that many Parish, District and County Councils were considering a response to the climate emergency. Harberton Parish Council had discussed this and had agreed that it was wrong to limit the conversation to the climate emergency, but broaden the discussion to include preservation and care of the local environment. The Chair commented that the Parish Council would like to support action in which everyone, the Parish Council and the community, considers what practical things can be done to make a difference. This may include how we manage our energy, our food intake and waste – how we as consumers can use our power together to promote change – what we can do with our fields and our wildlife. The Chair commented that the Harberton Parish Neighbourhood Plan is in the process of being drafted, providing the opportunity for practical issues to be drafted into policy, such as the creation of a ‘dark skies policy’ for habitat enhancement.

  • South Hams Green Infrastructure Framework
    Table of Contents 1 Introduction ........................................................................ 5 2 Objectives and Themes ......................................... 13 3 Green Infrastructure Projects ......................... 39 4 Delivering the Framework ..................................88 NOTE This framework has been written by South Hams District Council Officers, in conjunction with a wide range of organisations, to help guide green infrastructure development across the District. The framework should be viewed as a partnership, rather than a South Hams District Council, document reflecting the fact that many projects will be led by other organisations or partnerships and recognising the need for coordinated, targeted delivery of green infrastructure. The following organisations provided comments on a draft version of the framework: Devon Biodiversity Records Centre, Devon Birdwatching and Preservation Society, Devon County Council, Devon Wildlife Trust, Environment Agency, National Trust, Natural England, RSPB, South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Unit and the Woodland Trust. Ideas for green infrastructure projects were also identified through an online survey open to members of the public. All comments received have been taken into account in this final document. The production of the framework has been funded and supported by the South Devon Green Infrastructure Partnership comprising Natural England, South Hams District Council, Torbay Council, Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust, South Devon Area of Outstanding
