Chudleigh Neighbourhood Plan OUR CHUDLEIGH Chudleigh’s Neighbourhood Development Plan 2019-2033 Adopted/Made - March 2020 Chudleigh Town Council 1 FOREWORD The Chudleigh Neighbourhood Development Plan is the latest in a series of planning processes undertaken in the parish of Chudleigh over the last decade. It builds on previous work resulting in the adoption of a Parish Plan and a Community Masterplan, both of which influenced the ‘Chudleigh policies’ in the Teignbridge Local Plan and will be referred to further. Chudleigh is often simply referred to as ‘a town’, but it must be remembered that it is far more than that. It is a parish with a long and significant history that contains some glorious rural landscapes. The community nestles at the foot of the spectacular Haldon Hills, is at one of the gateways to the picturesque Teign Valley and is only a stone’s throw from the Dartmoor National Park. The parish has easy access to the regional and national road network and is well placed to serve visitors both from Chudleigh Neighbourhood Development Plan Chudleigh Neighbourhood Development the surrounding area and from further afield. However, in recent decades, as with many rural parishes, it has struggled to find its ‘unique selling point’ and to attract the investment needed to enable its economy to flourish and meet the needs of its growing population. In common with many other communities, development has taken place without enough consideration being given to how the new will impact on the old and the needs of the wider community have not been met. Both the natural and built environments of the parish need attention and many of the facilities serving the population are now inadequate. Chudleigh is a very active community, with more than seventy organisations, clubs and groups. Through the Town Council, it takes very seriously the concept of ‘localism’, as defined in the Localism Act of 2011. The ambition of influencing the destiny of the town, building a sustainable community with a bright future, has been a key driver in the production of the Neighbourhood Development Plan. It is therefore hoped that the completion and approval of the Plan will mark the beginning of an ambitious programme aimed at meeting local needs and improving the overall quality of life in the parish. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Neighbourhood Development Plan Team, led by Graham Wall, and the five Working Groups, who are all volunteers. They have devoted an enormous amount of time and effort to complete the process, analysing and compiling information, attending meetings, deciding on priorities, drafting text and manning exhibits. Their commitment to the parish and its future is something which we must all admire and, through their efforts, the successful delivery of the Plan will help to meet the needs and aspirations of both current and future generations.

In the case of Chudleigh, it was agreed in August 2016 that the Plan area would encompass the whole of the civil parish (see figure 1) and the Town Council decided that its Town Enhancement Committee would be the Steering Committee for the process of producing the NDP. 1.2 The Plan concerns the use and development of land and is underpinned by an extensive process, aimed at identifying local needs and priorities, resulting in a set of development management policies. If the NDP successfully passes scrutiny by an independent examiner and is then given local approval through a referendum, it will be formally ‘made’ and the policies it contains will be adopted by the Local Planning Authority (Teignbridge District Council). Those policies will then be taken account of, either by the District Council or, at an appeal, the Planning Inspectorate, in the determination of applications for planning permission. In formal terms, the NDP becomes part of the Development Plan, alongside the Teignbridge Local Plan, the Devon Waste Plan and the Devon County Minerals Local Plan. Chudleigh Neighbourhood Development Plan Chudleigh Neighbourhood Development 1.3 A local community’s ability to prepare an NDP was introduced through the Localism Act of 2011. The law requires that an NDP must satisfy the following conditions : 1 It must generally conform with the strategic policies of the Development Plan. 2 It must take account of current national planning policies. 3 It must contribute to achieving sustainable development. 4 It must be compatible with European Union law (or other law which replaces or amends European Union law) and human rights obligations. 1.4 An NDP is not a tool to stop development. It is a set of positive guidelines, based on community consultation, and its policies will be given equal weight to those developed at district, county and national levels. It will thus ensure that the community has a stronger voice in influencing the development of its area and the contribution it makes to local facilities and the character of the local landscape. 1.5 The Chudleigh NDP has the same end date as the Teignbridge Local Plan and spans from 2019-2033. However the Local Plan is under review and will be rolled forward to 2040. It may therefore be necessary to refresh the NDP once the review process has been completed. That may not be a very extensive process and may simply involve rolling the NDP itself forward to 2040. 1.6 As with earlier planning exercises carried out in the Parish (a Parish Plan and a Community Masterplan), referred to further below, the process of preparing the NDP has been largely in the hands of a group of volunteers, consisting of an NDP Team and five Working Groups, all under the direction of the Steering Committee. The team has made considerable effort to avoid ‘re-inventing the wheel’ by going over ground already covered in the earlier plans. However, largely as a consequence of public consultation, there has been an element of repetition of the core aspirations of residents which emerged from the earlier plans and have not significantly changed over the last decade. Those aspirations need to be acknowledged and addressed, but the emphasis should now be on meeting those local needs that have not previously been identified and dealt with by existing policies or on-going actions. 4 1.7 This is the final version of the Plan which has been examined and found to meet the Basic Conditions to proceed to referendum.

The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale to ensure proposals are in keeping with the character of the region and continue in their contribution to the nation. The vast majority of the Plan Area sits in the Devon Redlands National Character Area (NCA). North Wood is with The Culm NCA and Great Plantation within South Devon NCA. National Character Assessment – 148 Devon Redlands The Devon Redlands National Character Area (NCA) has a very strong, unified character. The underlying red sandstone and consequent red soil dominate the landscape through ploughed fields, cliffs and exposures, and are visually evident in the traditional stone and cob farmsteads, hamlets and villages that are scattered across the area. To the south-west of Exeter, the Haldon Hills, a ridge of heathland and woodland, dominate the skyline. Long fingers of coniferous plantation and broadleaved woodland follow ridge lines, enclosing steep pasture on both sides of the dramatically rising ridge. Conifer plantations are softened by wide margins of bracken, birch and heath and there are far-reaching views eastwards over the Exe Estuary and beyond to the Blackdowns and westwards to Dartmoor. Opportunities Plan the future management of the commercial areas of woodland, particularly the visual impact of felling and balance the need for replanting against the regeneration of semi-natural habitats and mass recreation. Increase sequestration of CO2 through increased woodland area, and encouraging sustainable management of woodlands; the management and restoration of heathland and associated mire habitats and the expansion of wetland habitats in the river valleys.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform theirdecision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The informationthey contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
