The property comprises eight sections in a near-continuous 155 km of coastline with its boundaries defined by natural phenomena: on the seaward side the property extends to the mean low water mark and on the landward side to the cliff top or back of the beach. This is also in general consistent with the boundaries of the nationally and internationally designated areas that protect the property and much of its setting. Due to the high rate of erosion and mass movement, it is important to periodically monitor the boundaries of the properties to ensure that significant changes to the shoreline are registered. Protection and management requirements The property has strong legal protection, a clear management framework and the strong involvement of all stakeholders with responsibilities for the property and its setting. A single management plan has been prepared and is coordinated by the Dorset and Devon County Councils. There is no defined buffer zone as the wider setting of the property is well protected through the existing designations and national and local planning policies. In addition to its geological, paleontological and geomorphological significance, the property includes areas of European importance for their Page 2 Tuesday, May 20, 2014 (8:58:31 AM CEST) Periodic Report - Section II-Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Centre Periodic Report - Second Cycle Section II-Dorset and East Devon Coast 3.15.

  • South West Coast Path : Weymouth to Lulworth Cove Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk South West Coast Path : Weymouth to Lulworth Cove walk Weymouth Bay, then a dramatic cliff walk past small beaches, then higher cliffs past Durdle Door (stack) to Lulworth Cove Length 11.1 miles / 17.8 km Toughness 8 out of 10 - 2,400 feet / 730m of ascent (lots of small climbs) Features This spectacular coast walk follows the waymarked South West Coastal Path (SWCP) / England Coast Path (ECP) from Weymouth (seaside town with picturesque harbour) along its seafront promenade, then over spectacular cliffs and past secluded coves and beaches towards Durdle Door (stack) and Lulworth Cove. All, with views over Weymouth Bay and the Isle of Portland. The start is gentle - along the seafront then seawall. Then over a small hill (pub, cafe, both with sea views) to Bowleaze Cove with its spectacular art deco hotel. Then past some small beaches to the Smugglers Inn in Osmington for lunch. After lunch the cliff top path continues on past Ringstead and above Burning Cliff beach (the fire went out in in 19th C). It passes St Catherine-by- the-Sea church (nice picnic spot), and then becomes an undulating cliff edge walk (a more level inland option is available) to Durdle Door (a stack, great beach) before descending to Lulworth Cove. Return to Wool Station by bus (summer only) or taxi This walk can also be done in reverse, indeed transport considerations may may that a better option. In this case, take a bus from Wool to Lulworth Cove. At the end, continue along the coast to Weymouth's Historic Harbour area which is much nicer than the tacky seafront next to the train station https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/weymouth-to-lulworth-cove/ 1/6 You hardly need a map for this walk as the SWCP is very well waymarked, and you are just following the coast, but it is useful to check your progress.

  • Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis
    Annex 1 Future High Streets Fund – Analysis The purpose of this document is to summarise the application process and key criteria associated with the Future High Streets (FHS) Fund, and present the potential town candidates which could form the basis of East Devon’s single Expression of Interest bid. This document has been compiled by officers across the council including planners, surveyors and economic development officers. Background The deadline for the submission of Expressions of Interest is 22 Mar 2019. There is likely to be a later opportunity to bid for the Fund as well. Initial awareness of the Fund emerged in autumn 2018 with fuller detail in December 2018 and then supplementary guidance more recently. As government has released more detailed information we have also sought clarification on what is and isn’t eligible or likely to be favoured. If we were to submit a bid for one of our established towns it should be recognised from the individual and collective analysis below that our high streets are not failing nor would those communities necessarily recognise or accept transformational intervention to solve a problem that isn’t significant i.e. replacing retail with alternative high street functions. However, it is also clear that other authorities not so different from nor far away from ours are preparing bids for some of their town centres. Government has said that it would like to see high streets across the regions benefit so it may well be willing to consider and work with bids of varying levels of under-performance to ensure a geographic spread.

  • Evidence Report 2014
    (A Neighbourhood Plan for Portland, Dorset) Evidence Report April 2014 2 Portland Neighbourhood Plan Evidence Report Contents: Topic Sections: page: Introduction 3 Natural Environment & Built Environment 4 People & Housing 38 Business & Employment 60 Roads & Transport 90 Community & Social Facilities 102 Leisure & Recreation 118 Arts, Culture & Tourism 132 Appendix A 152 © Portland Town Council, 2014 Portland Neighbourhood Plan Evidence Report April 2014 3 Introduction Purpose Planning policy and proposals need to be based on a proper understanding of the place they relate to, if they are to be relevant, realistic and address local issues effectively. It is important that the Neighbourhood Plan is based on robust information and analysis of the local area; this is called the ‘evidence base’. Unless policy is based on firm evidence and proper community engagement, then it is more likely to reflect the assumptions and prejudices of those writing it than to reflect the needs of the wider area and community. We are advised that “the evidence base needs to be proportionate to the size of the neighbourhood area and scope and detail of the Neighbourhood Plan. Other factors such as the status of the current and emerging Local Plan policies will influence the depth and breadth of evidence needed. It is important to remember that the evidence base needs to reflect the fact that the plan being produced here will have statutory status and be used to decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area. It is necessary to develop a clear understanding of the neighbourhood area and policy issues covered; but not to review every piece of research and data in existence – careful selection is needed.”1 The evidence base for the Portland Neighbourhood plan comprises the many reports, documents and papers we have gathered (these are all listed in Appendix A, and are made available for reference via the Neighbourhood Plan website.

  • “Local Walks from Weymouth”
    “ Local walks from Weymouth” Picture by Ron Glynn WELCOME TO OUR WALKS LOG, October 2017 to March 2020. When I started this log, my first job was to mark all our start points on my essential piece of equipment, the 1; 25000 OS map, OL 15, Purbeck and South Dorset. I was surprised and pleased to see how we had speckled the map, given that the venues were chosen mainly for free parking! But we had covered the area from west to east, with each venue leading to not only our walk(s) shown later but also to areas ripe for further exploration. So given that each walk is 2 ½ to 3 ½ miles or 4/5kms or 7/9000 steps and takes around 1 ½ hours what do you need to join in? Apart from boots/trainers, layered clothing, hat, stick and dog (if owned or borrowed!) your essential equipment is a map, as above, to which you can add modern adjuncts if you wish. NB: 1:25,000 means that roughly 2 inches on the map represents 1 mile on the ground. Each map is covered by a grid of 1 mile squares, on our map numbered 53 to 76 west to east and 73 to 95 south to north. (The map is double sided with Purbeck on the back). On our list of start points there are BOLD 6 figure numbers. These are GRID REFERENCES and from them you can find anywhere on the map. So, for example, the Heights Hotel, 5 in our list is 69 2 73 3, the 3rd and 6th numbers being points.

  • The 'Red Coast'
    The ‘Red Coast’ - Exmouth to Sidmouth Place To Walk Location & Access: The route is described from Exmouth to Sidmouth, but could be reversed. Exmouth can be reached via A376 road from Exeter. There is also a regular train link from Exeter Central Station and a regular bus service (number 57) from Exeter. There is plenty of parking in the town of Exmouth, and this walk begins at the car park close to the sea front to east of town - past the Maer recreation ground, and by the lifeboat station at GR SY0121 8000. At the completion of the walk, a return bus (number 57) is available from Sidmouth. Hern Point Rock, Ladram Bay Key Geography: Stunning section of the South West Coast Path - part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. SSSI, Triassic geology, spits, steep cliffs, coastal erosion, landslips, sea stacks. Description: This walk of 12.5 miles (20 km) covers a stunning section of the 95 miles Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its geology includes Permian and Triassic rocks overlain in part by rocks from the Cretaceous Period. It is informally known as the ‘Red Coast’ due to the colour of the cliffs. From the car park, there is a brief moment to admire the sandy beach of Exmouth before making for the cliffs at eastern end of esplanade. Here, the cliffs of Rodney Point give the first decent view of the red geology. From here, the path climbs to Orcombe Point, where it is possible to stop and take a look at the geoneedle, a monument that marks the start of the Jurassic Coast.
