Introduction: The authors have prepared this submission in the belief that Douglas Head represents a unique area in the Isle of Man and presents an unparalleled planning opportunity through designation as a Conservation Area. Starting in the 17th century, the development of Douglas Head has included an unusually rich and diverse range of human activities and uses. These include residential, recreational, entertainment, industrial and defensive use, each component of which has left its mark and for the most part still endures today. Bounded on the north by Douglas Harbour and Douglas Bay, on the east by the cliffs rising steeply from the Irish Sea and to the west covered in the characteristic gorse and bramble of the Manx countryside, Douglas Head embodies a uniquely diverse and vibrant slice of Manx history, heritage, culture and environment that justifies the full and proper protection afforded by Conservation Area status.

  • Dartmouth Conservation Area Appraisal
    Dartmouth Conservation Area Appraisal Conservation Areas are usually located in the older parts of our towns and villages. They are places whose surviving historic, architectural and locally distinctive features make them special. Conservation area designation highlights the need to preserve and reinforce these qualities. The policies followed by the District Council when assessing proposals affecting conservation areas are set out in the South Hams Local Development Framework, while the Supplementary Planning Document ‘New Work in Conservation Areas’ explains how to achieve compliance with them. This is essential because the Council has a statutory duty to approve proposals only if they “preserve or enhance the character or appearance” of the conservation area. The purpose of this appraisal is to set out what makes the Dartmouth Conservation Area special, what needs to be conserved and what needs to be improved. Four extensions to the conservation area are proposed and described The contents are based on an earlier draft Conservation Area Appraisal prepared for the District Council in 1999. January 2013 Dartmouth Dartmouth Conservation Area: Summary of Special Interest The position of Dartmouth at the mouth of the river Dart is of such strategic military and commercial importance, and its sheltered natural harbour so perfect, that it developed into an important town from the Middle Ages on, despite being inaccessible to wheeled transport until the 19th century. The advent of Victoria Road, Newcomen Road and later, College Way may have changed all that, but much of the character of the ancient, pedestrian town has survived. While it addresses the water, Dartmouth is a town of intimate spaces, unexpected flights of steps or pathways and steep, narrow streets with architectural jewels like St Saviours Church or the houses of the Butterwalk set amongst them.

  • The United Benefice of Dartmouth and Dittisham 'A Growing, Joy-Filled Christian Presence at the Heart of Our Communities'
    The United Benefice of Dartmouth and Dittisham 'A growing, joy-filled Christian presence at the heart of our communities' www.dartmouthanddittisham.co.uk The deep, sheltered waters of Dartmouth’s harbour offered destiny; with both hands, its medieval people grasped it. The sea was a thoroughfare for Englishmen setting out on the religious and secular wars of medieval times, and its harbour lent the town national importance. From here, men went off to the three crusades; they went on pilgrimages from here to Santiago de Compostela. Dartmouth an Enchanted Place, Joselin Fiennes, 2013 A Shipman was ther, woninge fer by weste; For ught I woot, he was of Dertemouthe. Chaucer, Prologue to the Canterbury Tales. The place of the church within this beautiful town and charming village is as vibrant and central as it was in the fourteenth century. Image courtesy of Shaunagh Radcliffe 1 ARCHDEACON’S FOREWORD Geographically, the parishes of Dartmouth and Dittisham occupy some of the most strikingly beautiful coastal and river scenery in England. Their ancient maritime and civic traditions give them exceptional historic significance. Britannia Royal Naval College is a prominent feature of Dartmouth in every sense. But it is as diverse communities with a strong desire for the pastoral ministry of the Church of England, with healthy, mission-minded parish churches operating in a classically Anglican tradition of worship and service, that these two parishes offer exceptional opportunities for a gifted priest to make a difference as their next Vicar. He or she will have strong foundations on which to build, in a benefice where leadership and oversight have been offered to a high standard over the past decade.

  • 2020 Paignton
    GUIDE 1 Welcome to the 2020 NOPS Kit Kat Tour Torbay is a large bay on Devon’s south coast. Overlooking its clear blue waters from their vantage points along the bay are three towns: Paignton, Torquay and Brixham. The bays ancient flood plain ends where it meets the steep hills of the South Hams. These hills act as suntrap, allowing the bay to luxuriate in its own warm microclimate. It is the bays golden sands and rare propensity for fine weather that has led to the bay and its seaside towns being named the English Riviera. Dartmoor National Park is a wild place with open moorlands and deep river valleys, a rich history and rare wildlife, making is a unique place and a great contrast to Torbay in terms of photographic subjects. The locations listed in the guide have been selected as popular areas to photograph. I have tried to be accurate with the postcodes but as many locations are rural, they are an approximation. They are not intended as an itinerary but as a starting point for a trigger-happy weekend. All the locations are within an hour or so drive from the hotel. Some locations are run by the National Trust or English Heritage. It would be worth being members or going with a member so that the weekend can be enjoyed to the full. Prices listed are correct at time of publication, concession prices are in brackets. Please take care and be respectful of the landscape around you. If you intend climbing or doing any other dangerous activities, please go in pairs (at least).

  • Enemy, Rival, Frog
    Enemy, Rival, Frog The influence of history on the portrayal of the Dutch in late seventeenth- century English literature BA Thesis Anna Zweers Supervisor: Dr. M. Corporaal Date: 15 June, 2017 Zweers - 1 Abstract: This thesis will look at the way the Dutch are represented in English literature from the Restoration in 1660, taking 1672 as a turning point and looking at texts up to 1685. The focus will be on war, trade and gender, and how Dutch people are portrayed with regards to these three areas. It argues that trade is a theme that is present in all texts written about the Dutch, while the other two themes depend on the subject of the texts. Keywords: seventeenth century, Anglo-Dutch relations, English literature, war, trade, gender Zweers - 2 Contents Introduction ............................................................................................................................................. 3 Chapter 1 – Historical background .......................................................................................................... 7 1.1 – Introduction ................................................................................................................................ 7 1.2 – War & Trade since Restoration .................................................................................................. 7 1.3 – 1672 – 1674 ................................................................................................................................ 9 1.4 – After 1672: War & Trade ........................................................................................................

  • Harbours Strategy
    GD 2018/0011 Harbours Strategy March 2018 Department of Infrastructure pp1 FOREWORD To the Hon Stephen Rodan, MLC, President of Tynwald, and the Hon Council and Keys in Tynwald assembled. As an Island community, our sea links have been important to us for hundreds of years, and their strategic significance will continue for the foreseeable future. With our dependence upon our sea links and our ports for economic and social wellbeing, we embrace our close connection to the water. As well as enabling the movement of goods and people, our harbours provide opportunities for Island residents to participate in boating activities, with high levels of leisure boat ownership by Island residents. Yet the appeal of our marine leisure assets is not limited to Island residents. With excellent connections to Ireland, Wales, England, and Scotland, together with its numerous small harbours, anchorages and bays, the Island is a destination of choice for leisure cruising. This strategy considers the current facilities and operational challenges at our largest commercial port of Douglas with recommendations of development or improvement, plus consideration of the leisure offer at the Island’s natural harbours, and identifies potential opportunities to develop the marine leisure sector on the Isle of Man. By providing services and modern facilities which meet the needs and demands of the modern leisure boating customer, there is the potential for the Island to grow this sector to the benefit of individuals who participate in marine leisure activities, the individual towns and villages in which our harbours are situated, and the Manx economy as a whole.
