  • Flooding Advice
    BRENDON AND COUNTISBURY PARISH COUNCIL – FLOOD PLANNING INTRODUCTION The Parish Council is reviewing preparations for a severe flooding incident. As an initial step, based on information provided by the Environment Agency (EA), the following basic advice should assist residents to assess the risk to their own properties and take sensible flood precautions in advance of any incident. For more detailed information see the full EA’s advice booklet at https://www.devon.gov.uk/floodriskmanagement/. Further work is being undertaken with the public bodies to improve local emergency readiness. If you have any queries, wish to learn more, or could assist locally in case of an incident please contact Mr Mike Sinden, Clerk to the Parish Council, 01598 741323. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING AND TAKE THE NECESSARY ACTION TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY, GUESTS, AND YOUR OWN PROPERTY. ENVIRONMENT AGENCY 24-HOUR INCIDENT HOTLINE 0800 807060. RISK ASSESSMENT Brendon and Countisbury parishes cover a large area with a number of properties lying in the flood plain of the East Lyn and its tributaries. However the housing stock is widely dispersed and a number of streams and drains have the potential to cause localised difficulties in some circumstances – sometimes in unlikely places. Unusually disruptive and localised weather events seem to be becoming more common and sensible precautions should be taken by householders. Flooding events can range from minor water damage to a few properties to a large scale incident involving a serious threat to life. The Parish Council’s first responsibility is to help residents prepare for this range of possibilities.

Action Plan p59 Appendix: Tavistock Statement of Significance p62 Bibliography p76 Acknowledgement The author is grateful to Alex Mettler and Barry Gamble for their assistance in preparing this strategy. 1 Introduction This strategy sets out a framework and action plan for improving interpretation in Tavistock and for enabling the town to fulfil the requirements of a Key Centre within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS). It is intended to complement the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Learning Strategy (Kell 2013) which concentrates on learning activities and people. Consequently the focus here is primarily on interpretive content and infrastructure rather than personnel. Aims and objectives The brief set by the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Steering Group was to identify a consistent, integrated approach to presenting the full range of themes arising from the Outstanding Universal Value of WHS Areas 8, 9 and 10 and to respond to the specific recommendations arising from the WHS Interpretation Strategy (WHS 2005). We were asked to: x Address interpretation priorities in the context of the Cornish Mining WHS x Identify and prioritise target audiences x Set out a clearly articulated framework and action plan for the development of interpretation provision in WHS Area 10, including recommendations which address x Product development (i.e.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.
