    Tarka Trail Coastal Community Team Economic Plan March 2017 T a r k a T r a i l C o a s t a l C o m m u n i t y T e a m - E c o n o m i c P l a n 1. Purpose The purpose of our Economic Plan is to outline a vision and priorities for action to develop the economic value of the Tarka Trail for the coastal communities along its length. Our focus is upon the Trail as a potential catalyst to generate opportunities and jobs within what are often very rural communities, but we are always aware of the high quality natural environment within which the Trail sits. It is this environment, rich biodiversity and cultural heritage which make the Tarka Trail such a unique asset to the area where care is required to develop it wisely. This plan has been prepared by the Tarka Trail Coastal Community Team (CCT) and is based upon local consultation, which had prioritised both the range of issues to be addressed and the key projects to tackle them. 2. Context 2.1. The Tarka Trail and the local area The Tarka Trail is a 180 mile recreational route, named after the Henry Williamson novel, Tarka the Otter, which follows Tarka’s journey through northern Devon. The route encompasses parts of both the South West Coast Path National Trail and the Two Moors Way, as well as unique sections in its own right and includes a branch rail line link to enable a ‘figure-of-eight’ exploration of some of Devon’s most varied and stunning landscapes (see Fig.

    PLANNING APPLICATION REPORT Case Officer: Tom French Parish: Meeth Ward: Hatherleigh Application No: 0989/17/FUL Agent/Applicant: Applicant: Mr Chris Tyson Mrs C Barkwell 40 Normandy Way Made-Well Centre Walker Lines Industrial Estate West Fishleigh Farm Bodmin Hatherleigh Cornwall EX20 3QA PL31 1EX Site Address: Hele View, Meeth, Devon, EX20 3QN Development: Erection of 6no. supported living units of accommodation Reason for item being called to Committee: At the request of Ward Councillors for the following reasons: We don’t think that this sort of provision has been looked at in the Joint Local Plan Saying that Meeth Parish does not have any local need is missing the point. This sort of provision would have residents from Devon if they were suitable. Being isolated is a great advantage for the residents living in this sort of facility, where they need peace and quiet. Public transport is not the issue. Recommendation: Refusal Reasons for refusal: 1. The development would result in the erection of 6No isolated homes in the countryside in a location that has poor access to services, leading to a reliance on private transport. Whilst there is an identified need within the borough for affordable supported living accommodation, there is no identified need within the Meeth Parish Area and is considered to not meet the tests required to constitute a rural exceptions site. In the absence of compliance with the requirements of NPPF paragraph 79 exceptions, it is concluded that the proposal is an unsustainable pattern of development, contrary to the aim stated in part 2 of the Framework of achieving sustainable development, and at odds with existing and emerging local plan policies.

  • Earth Pigments in North Devon a Guide for Teachers & Artists
    Earth Pigments in North Devon A Guide for Teachers & Artists by Peter Ward (in association with Beaford Arts) www.peterward-artist-illustrator.co.uk ! north devon landscape (ground earth pigments; peter ward 2009) Earth Pigments in North Devon A Guide for Teachers & Artists Since the human race began to make marks and symbols to express our relationship with our world we have been using pigments from the earth. Whether painting on cave walls or our bodies we have found ways of making colours from things found in our immediate surroundings. From minerals and plant dyes, animal parts and more complicated processes we have explored and discovered ways to bring colour to our world. In North Devon, due to the rich geological formations in the area dating back over 350 million years, we have a good range of accessible natural mineral colours to use. Until 1969 we mined and manufactured our own pigment, Bideford Black. Formed in lens shaped pockets of high-grade graphite coal between Abbotsham and Tawstock, Bideford Black is a unique pigment in the British Isles. It was used as a black paint for caulking timber boats, for artists paints, printing inks, colouring paper, stove polishes and blacking, cement products, bricks, floor tiles and linoleum, tarpaulins, rubber tyres, for camouflage paint during WWII and by Max Factor for mascara. There is little physical evidence left of the industry but we may still find the raw material locally. On a small cliff on the River Taw estuary near Fremington Quay we can find at least four distinct colours to collect: Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, White Clay and Grey, or ‘Poor Man’s Coal’ (a form of Bideford Black).
