  • 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.

  • Three Towns’ Steadily Merged Together on the Ground
    TTHREHREE TTOWNSOWNS The modern day City of Plymouth has grown out of three once separate neighbouring towns - Plymouth, East Stonehouse and Devonport. Nowadays, Stonehouse and Devonport exist as communities within greater Plymouth but, until 1914, each was distinct. Plymouth and East Stonehouse are the two oldest settlements. In contrast, Devonport is a relatively new town. It was established in the early 1700s, growing around the purpose built Royal Naval Dockyard at Plymouth Dock. By 1801, Dock, as this town was originally called, had a larger population than Plymouth. Throughout the 1800s, the ‘Three Towns’ steadily merged together on the ground. There seemed growing practical and economic reasons for them to unite as one. The idea of amalgamation was discussed in 1814, 1835 and 1888. The Mayor of Plymouth proposed a local conference on the subject in July 1902. However, it was the threat of the Great War, and the military’s need for streamlined communication, that finally saw the ‘Three Towns’ joined as one. ‘Cooke’s Stranger’s Guide or Pocket Plan’ of the ‘Three Towns’, c.1826-27 Image:Chris Robinson ‘Three Towns’ or One? In 1814, a meeting of the Port of Plymouth’s new Chamber larger orphanage was proposed closer to Plymouth. This of Commerce saw benefits in a commercial union of the caused a split among the Devonport and Stonehouse ‘Three Towns’. During the 1810s, Union Street was laid- interests because the existing building, near the Octagon down across Plymouth Marsh with union in mind, and on Union Street, better served all ‘Three Towns’. Plymouth’s original Theatre Royal was sited to attract At local authority level, in 1849, both Devonport (with customers from the other two towns.

Any enquiries, email or ring 250629. Nature Among our birds there is a fascinating overlap between summer and winter visitors at this time of year. One day in mid October I saw a few Swallows flying over the village on their way to Africa. The following day I noticed a Black Redstart, a winter visitor to our coast. I now look forward to the possibility of a Blackcap or a tiny Firecrest in the garden or wintering thrushes in hedgerows. The Blackcaps that stay for winter are not the same birds that breed in our woodlands. The latter have moved south whereas the newcomers are a separate population that will have bred further east on the continent. A series of mild winters has enabled the Blackcaps to survive here instead of flying south and they have passed on the habit to later generations. They will stay until March when they begin to sing and become aggressive towards other birds at feeders. This takes me on to a sad situation that I noticed in September. Trichomonosis is a deadly disease that affects the digestive system of some birds and I saw the symptoms among Goldfinches. They become lethargic, cannot feed successfully and soon starve.

  • GUNNISLAKE to CALSTOCK
    GUNNISLAKE to CALSTOCK As we stood waiting at Calstock for a bus to carry us up to Gunnislake, the usual ducks were milling around near the bus shelter; by far the greatest in number are Muscovy ducks. These are wild birds but they can be farmed, when they are said to produce ‘fabulous eggs and the best duck meat ever’. The name suggests they come from Moscow which couldn’t be further from the truth….they originate from South America! It is thought that the Muscovy got its name from the Muscovite Company which traded the ducks during the 1500s but they didn’t arrive in the UK until the 20th Century. They are the only domesticated duck that is not derived from the Mallard. Muscovy ducks are hardy in all weathers, from scorching sunshine to freezing ice and snow and here in the village their numbers appear to be increasing year on year. These ugly ducks are not like other ducks, firstly they do not fly much, preferring instead to waddle or lounge about as we know. Neither do they swim as much as other breeds because their oil glands are under developed and finally, they don't quack like other ducks but instead product a low hiss. On the plus side, they hunt flies and mosquitoes and eat slugs, bugs and even grass and grain…. whatever’s going really. When the bus arrived the driver looked a bit bemused when all 22 of us piled on taking up most of the seats, only to alight again at the crossroads near the local school where today’s walk began and where one more walker joined us.
