Ab270207dca Land at Cross Moor Knowstone Wind Turbine Gene– EEC/07/73/HQ Development Control Committee 14 March 2007 Planning/Highway Consultation North Devon District: Proposed Installation of 2 Wind Turbine Generators 100m Tip Height with Transformer Enclosures, Substation Building, Anemometer, Access Tracks and Ancillary Equipment. Land at Cross Moor, Knowstone, South Molton Application No: 43580 Date Consultation received by County Council 8 January 2007 Report of the Director of Environment, Economy and Culture Please note that the following recommendations are subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that North Devon District Council be advised that Devon County Council: (a) as the Strategic Planning Authority, whilst recognising the possible renewable energy and economic benefits of the proposed development, and the location of the application site on the edge of the Area of Search for Strategic Wind Farm based energy production as identified in the Devon Structure Plan, considers that these benefits are outweighed by the impact of a development of this scale on the local Landscape Character Zones and the adjoining Exmoor National Park and that as such would conflict with the provisions of Devon Structure Plan Policies CO1, and CO2; (b) as the Local Highway Authority, raises no objection in principle to the proposed development subject to the imposition of planning conditions and/or the completion of appropriate legal agreements under Section 106/Section 278 to secure the necessary offsite highway works and traffic management during the construction and decommissioning stage of the development; (c) should the District Council be minded, nevertheless, to grant planning permission, this should only be subject to the prior completion of a Section 106/278 agreement and the imposition of planning conditions to secure these matters summarised in Appendix IV to this Committee report; and (d) should the District Council be minded, nevertheless, to grant planning permission for the development, the application should be referred to the Government Office for the South West as a departure from the Devon Structure Plan as referred to in (a) above. 1. Summary This report relates to the proposed construction of two wind turbines at Cross Moor, Knowstone, near South Molton, upon which the County Council has been consulted as both Strategic Planning Authority and Local Highway Authority. 2. The Proposal/Background The proposed development comprises the installation of 2 wind turbines. Each turbine would be 100 metres in height to the tip of the blade with a hub height of 60 metres. The blades would have a diameter of 80 metres, with a rotation speed of 8 to 20 rpm. Each turbine would be capable of generating up to 2.5 megawatts of electricity, with a maximum total generating capacity of 5 MW. As this does not exceed the threshold of 50 MW, in accordance with the provisions of Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989, the application falls to be determined by North Devon District Council as the Local Planning Authority. The proposed development also includes ancillary infrastructure, in particular a 65 metre anemometer monitoring mast, an electrical sub-station, trenching and cable installation, onsite access tracks, a temporary on-site concrete batching plant, off-site road improvements and a temporary site compound for the construction period. The application site is situated approximately 14 km west of Tiverton and 10km east of South Molton and 2km north east of Knowstone. At the time of writing this report, planning permissions for the erection of wind farms have been obtained on three sites in Devon: A cluster of 3 x 1 MW wind turbines at Stowford Cross, Bradworthy, (75 metres high to the tip of the blade). Planning permission was granted on appeal in August 2003 and the development is currently operational. A cluster of 3 x 1.2 MW wind turbines at Higher Darracott, Great Torrington, (81 metres high to the tip of the blade). This application was granted planning permission on appeal in May 2004. A cluster of 9 x 2.5 MW wind turbines (120m to tip of blade) at Denbrook, near North Tawton. This application was granted planning permission by the Planning Inspectorate on appeal in February 2007. A fuller summary of the status of grid connected renewable energy projects in Devon both existing and proposed is set out in Appendix I to this report. Members will recall considering its response to the application for 9 wind turbines at Batsworthy Cross some 3.5km south of the current application site at its last meting and resolving conditionally not to raise any objection to this proposal (Minute *135 refers). Nine Members of the Committee, who conducted the Site Visit to the Batsworthy proposal on 14 February 2007 also took the opportunity to view the Cross Moor proposals at the same time, and were able to observe the possible cumulative effect of the two developments. The Cross Moor application does not require a formal Environmental Impact Statement under the requirements of the EIA Regulations. However, the applicants have in support of the application submitted an Environmental Report, addressing Construction, Access, Ecology, Landscape, Noise, Aviation, Archaeological and Cultural Heritage considerations. 3. Consultations As the determining Local Planning Authority, North Devon District Council has carried out the statutory consultations on this application (the County Council being one of these consultations). The County Council, has however been made aware of the consultation responses received from the following organisations. Exmoor National Park Authority - (6 March 2007) resolved that the ENPA objects to the proposal. The proposed development would have an adverse impact on the landscape, setting and special qualities of the National Park which the statutory National Park purposes, the Development Plans for the site and the National Park, and other local, regional and national policies seek to protect. By virtue of its scale and geometric appearance, and the rotating turbine blades, the proposal would intrude into views out of and into the National Park. This would erode the sense of remoteness, wildness, openness and freedom from visible human artefacts, which is recognised as among the special qualities of the area. Council for National Parks - objects to both Batsworthy Cross and Cross Moor Wind Energy developments - due to the adverse impact they would have on the setting, landscape and special qualities of the Exmoor National Park, both individually and cumulatively; and the adverse impact that they would have on public enjoyment of the Park's special qualities. (26 February 2007). Campaign to Protect Rural England (North Devon Group) - objects to the proposals for the reasons summarised in a letter of 27 February 2007 which is reproduced as Appendix II to this report. (CPRE in conjunction with the Two Moors Campaign (see Section 4 below) has jointly commissioned the Living Landscapes Consultancy to examine the landscape impacts in more detail. This report concludes, inter alia, that additional landscape information should be requested from the applicants, that the applicant's Environmental Report underestimates the level of impact on the Exmoor Landscape Character Area particularly the importance of the tranquil Yeo Valley to the setting and special character of the National Park). (A full copy of the Living Landscapes Report is available for Members' Inspection in the Members' Room and also at the Committee). 4. Advertisement/Representations The application has been statutorily advertised and subject to some pre-application publicity by the applicants in the locality. All representations are normally invited to be submitted to the North Devon District Council as the determining Local Planning Authority. However, the County Council has been directly in receipt of a significant number of individual representations. At the time of writing this report a total of 88 letters of objection and 66 letters of support have been received. Additionally a petition has been submitted to the County Council (received 6 March 2007) with 552 signatories expressing support for the application. The letters of objection asking the County Council to object to this application raise the following principal concerns. • lack of local consultation by the applicants; • negative landscape impact/proximity to the Exmoor National Park; • severe impact on tourism and on the local and regional economy; • negative impact on residential and agricultural holdings value; • detrimental effect of noise/shadow flicker; • detrimental to wildlife interests - birds, bats, butterflies, moths etc; • possible adverse effect on watercourses; • outside the Devon Structure Plan "Area of Search" for strategic wind farm provision; • interference to television signals; • impact on setting of historic buildings; • highway safety concerns, including ice throw; • inefficient technology in tackling greenhouse gas emissions. The letters of objection include copies of submissions from the Ramblers' Association (Devon Area) and the Exmoor Society which have been made to the North Devon District Council and a particular submission made to the County Council from the Two Moors Campaign an action group constituted to oppose the construction of large commercial wind turbines within the areas of the south of the Exmoor Fringe. This latter submission is reproduced as Appendix III to this report and also refers to the Living Landscape Consultancy's Report jointly commissioned

  • Northern Devon in the Domesday Book
    NORTHERN DEVON IN THE DOMESDAY BOOK INTRODUCTION The existence of the Domesday Book has been a source of national pride since the first antiquarians started to write about it perhaps four hundred years ago. However, it was not really studied until the late nineteenth century when the legal historian, F W Maitland, showed how one could begin to understand English society at around the time of the Norman Conquest through a close reading and analysis of the Domesday Book (Maitland 1897, 1987). The Victoria County Histories from the early part of the twentieth century took on the task of county-wide analysis, although the series as a whole ran out of momentum long before many counties, Devon included, had been covered. Systematic analysis of the data within the Domesday Book was undertaken by H C Darby of University College London and Cambridge University, assisted by a research team during the 1950s and 1960s. Darby(1953), in a classic paper on the methodology of historical geography, suggested that two great fixed dates for English rural history were 1086, with Domesday Book, and circa 1840, when there was one of the first more comprehensive censuses and the detailed listings of land-use and land ownership in the Tithe Survey of 1836-1846. The anniversary of Domesday Book in 1986 saw a further flurry of research into what Domesday Book really was, what it meant at the time and how it was produced. It might be a slight over-statement but in the early-1980s there was a clear consensus about Domesday Book and its purpose but since then questions have been raised and although signs of a new shared understanding can be again be seen, it seems unlikely that Domesday Book will ever again be taken as self-evident.

  • VOLUNTEERS for the TWO MOORS WAY; Devon’S Coast to Coast
    VOLUNTEERS FOR THE TWO MOORS WAY; Devon’s Coast to Coast The Two Moors Way long distance walking route was launched in 1976 and then extended to link the south (Wembury) and north (Lynmouth) coasts of Devon. The distance is 117 miles, crossing two National Parks and unspoilt areas of Devon. Since 2015 a major relaunch is being delivered, including a new guide book, improvements to the track and signage, a comprehensive new web site, a video, leaflets and more to come (e.g. Passports, stamps & certificates). This has been achieved with significant help from Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, Devon County Council and the National Lottery, working with the Two Moors Way Association (TMWA). We have also had a series of meetings with local accommodation providers, sharing with them the opportunities provided by increasing walker numbers, and listening to their feedback. The role of the TMWA is to monitor that all is well with the Two Moors Way, that; Potential walkers know about all aspects of the route They find the guide book, website, video and leaflets up to date and helpful Any issues with the track, signage and accommodation are being actioned Any wet weather WILL be followed by sunshine! We get a lot of feedback and incur some costs, so we seek to generate income to meet current and future costs. To date, income is from grants (one useful National Lottery Grant) and from sales of TMWA products like badges, guide books, and accommodation adverts. There are plans to do more (like T shirts)! To date, the TMWA has achieved a lot with only 5 part-time volunteers.
