Settlement Profile: South Brent 1 Introduction South Brent developed in medieval times, hosting a market and fair. While some industrial activity, linked to cloth mills, supported its economy, its main work was linked with its role as a staging post on the Exeter-Plymouth turnpike road. The village offers a wide range of community services and facilities. Main Shopping Area The main shopping area in South Brent covers Church Street, Fore Street and Station Road.

The proposed development, by reason of the degree of independance and physical separation from Withill Farmhouse, would be tantamount to the creation of an unjustified dwelling in the open countryside contrary to the Dartmoor National Park Core Strategy Development Plan Document in particular policies COR2 and COR15, the Development Management and Delivery Development Plan Document in particular policies DMD23 and DMD25 and the advice contained in the English National Parks and the Broads UK Government Vision and Circular 2010 and National Planning Policy Framework 2012. 2. The proposal would result in holiday accommodation in a building outside a recognised settlement which is not in association with an acceptable farm diversification scheme contrary to the Dartmoor National Park Core Strategy Development Plan Document in particular policies COR2, COR18, COR19 and COR20, policies DMD9, DMD35 and DMD44 of the Development Management and Delivery Development Plan Document and the advice contained in the National Planning Policy Framework 2012.

Map Features: Comment text: Bickleigh Parish Council is concerned that the proposal does not seem to take account of any future development, ie there is no recognition that there is a requirement for 500 houses in the South Hams area. There is an assumption that the housing will be within the Woolwell area and if housing does come about, then that development would be in Bickleigh and Cornwood Ward which would significantly aler the equality principle. The Parish Council accept that there are no firm applications for the development to take place in this area but discussions are on-going and it is understood that a planning application might be coming forward before the end of the year.

Julia was thanked at her last full council meeting in July. The Council also hosted a Thankyou party at which members and former colleagues presented her with a handsome glass vase engraved with the parish crest and the dates of her service. Parish Council Chairman, Cllr. Cathie Pannell, paid tribute to Julia's hard work and dedication over so many years. "She has been a real asset for the council and has helped our parish enormously with her skills and knowledge. She will be greatly missed." The Parish Council Mrs Julia Willoughby, Cllr. Cathie has now welcomed our new Clerk, Mrs Katharine Griffiths. Pannell (Chairman) & Mrs Katharine Griffiths South Brent Carnival 2019 After a very successful carnival week, the club has attended a further 7 carnivals so far, since the beginning of the carnival season on the 29th June. Our annual summer carnival was a great week with many successful events, and was enjoyed by many in the village. The weather was also on our side for the week, with many great days of weather. Each day throughout the week there was a different event, leading up to Saturday's grand carnival procession. The procession was the first Devon carnival of the season, and therefore was the first reveal of our 2019 float, entitled “sunshine after the rain.'' Many other carnival clubs and villagers took part in the procession, which made it a very good evening! The club has since been out all over south Devon each Saturday, taking part in many other carnivals, including Newton Abbot, Chudleigh, Kingsbridge, Paignton, Teignmouth, Bovey Tracey and Dawlish.

It has been prepared in consultation with Parish/Town Councils and will be updated as necessary. Settlement Profile: Lydford 1 Introduction While set against a village history which is of great significance, the buildings of Lydford are, by and large, late, unremarkable and modest, both in size and architecture. What is remarkable about Lydford is its relative lack of modern development and therefore the preservation of its historic form.

  • Higher Uppacott, Medieval Transhumance and the Dartmoor
    Higher Uppacott, Medieval Transhumance and the Dartmoor Longhouse The paper explored the reasons for the survival of medieval longhouses in great num- bers on the eastern fringes of Dartmoor. It made great use of Harold Fox’s recently pub- lished research into the medieval development of Dartmoor under royal control and the evidence of transhumance, that is to say the movement of lowland cattle onto the high moor during the summer months. (Dartmoor’s Alluring Uplands: Transhumance and Pastoral Man- agement in the Middle Ages, Harold Fox, published in 2012 by the University of Exeter Press.) He explains how everyone in Devon had the right to pasture their stock on Dartmoor and how the crown sought to control this and make money from it. There were gates which were to be opened on a certain date which had been announced publicly in the major mar- ket towns of the county; how the ancient tenements were established on the moor with free pasturage rights but the obligation that the tenant present himself on horseback for the drifts (when the cattle were counted and appropriate charges levied), how the surrounding parishes had venville rights which meant that they paid a small sum for pasturage Figure 1: Dartmoor Longhouse: Higher Uppacott, Poundsgate, WITM rights but also could, like the tenants of the Ancient Tenements, charge lowlanders to look after their stock, how droveways can be identified throughout Devon and so on. Fox envis- ages a red sea of cattle ebbing and flowing to and from the high moor. He also explains the math’s describing a virtuous circle where all involved made money from this controlled transhumance.
