Halwell and Moreleigh Parish Site Information Pack for More Information Considering Sites for Development in Halwell and Moreleigh Parish Site Information Pack This pack contains: A Site Information Table This table sets out information about the constraints and opportunities for each site which have been considered. Depending on the constraints identified, we have concluded that there are either ‘significant constraints’ to development or ‘limited constraints’ to development. Site Maps These maps shows all of the sites which have been considered as part of this exercise. Constraint Maps These maps show the different constraints, such as conservation areas, flood zones For more information and wildlife sites.

They have a very limited provision of local services. Due to the lack of facilities in this location, any development will lead to an increase in use of the private car. Further assessments will be required to understand whether the area in general is a suitable location for development. The designated primary school is Harbertonford Primary which has limited capacity and is not capable of expansion. Contributions towards facilities and transport may be required from new development. The designated secondary school is King Edward VI Community College, Totnes which currently has capacity but contributions towards facilities and transport may be required from new development. Access The site immediately adjoins the village but would represent a very large-scale expansion. Landscape and Ecology Parts of the site could have an impact on the wider landscape. Views of the church across the western part of the site from the main road are a local feature. The whole of the site is within the SAC buffer. Due to the significant constraints Heritage and Archaeology identified due to its location and Land East of Crocadon Meadows, No constraints have been identified at this stage but further assessment may be required as part of any pre-application process.

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.

  • THE LONGHOUSE Chilley Barns, Nr Kingsbridge, TQ9 7QN the LONGHOUSE Chilley Barns, Nr Kingsbridge, TQ9 7QN
    THE LONGHOUSE Chilley Barns, nr Kingsbridge, TQ9 7QN THE LONGHOUSE Chilley Barns, nr Kingsbridge, TQ9 7QN Kingsbridge about 5 miles • Totnes about 8 miles Dartmouth about 10 miles (Distances approximate) A beautiful barn conversion with far reaching country views and superb family accommodation Entrance hall with galleried landing Kitchen / dining room • Utility / boot room Sitting room • Mezzanine floor providing games room and study area 4 double bedrooms • Bathroom and en suite shower room Parking for two vehicles • Landscaped gardens Garden store EPC - C SITUATION Chilley is a converted farmstead situated within glorious South Hams countryside being made up of 6 converted properties alongside the original farmhouse. Chilley is well placed for ease of access to the charming and busy waterside towns of Totnes and Kingsbridge, both offering a wide range of amenities, secondary schooling and a main line rail link from Totnes to London in under 3 hours. The nearby village of East Allington offers a sought after primary school, church, village store and pub. DESCRIPTION The Longhouse, a beautifully presented and spacious barn was converted in the early 2000s although we believe originally dates some 200 years earlier. The house overlooks a very attractive communal courtyard to the front whilst enjoying large landscaped gardens and total privacy to the rear. The accommodation is arranged over 3 floors and is very generous and well suited for family life. The ground floor offers an impressive galleried entrance hall, sitting room with wood burning stove, well-appointed kitchen / dining room with integral appliances and a boot room / utility with WC. The upper floor of some 55’ in length provides a versatile area which is currently used as a games room and study.

  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 2 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CHAPTER SEVEN The ‘slum mentality’ of the evacuee – the myth challenged This Chapter firstly assesses Devon’s pre-war school medical service. Discussion then focuses on four crucial health issues which became problematic during evacuation, namely dirty habits, pediculosis (head lice), enuresis (bedwetting) and skin infections. The development of hostels for evacuees deemed unsuitable for billeting on arrival is also discussed. These health issues generated much adverse publicity, particularly during the first evacuation wave, and led to the persistent myth that evacuees were dirty, ill-trained and that they introduced pediculosis and skin infections into reception areas. Local documentary archive material is used to examine Devon’s experience and support the argument that generalised and exaggerated adverse publicity fostered a false stereotype. The largest number of evacuee children came to Devon in 1940 at a time when medical checks were improved, both in evacuation and reception areas. In addition the County already had an established degree of pediculosis and skin infections before evacuation. No evidence of a public or official outcry has been found locally to compare with reports emanating from some reception areas, particularly those areas receiving children from northern evacuation areas such as Merseyside.1 This variance with the ‘received’ version of events highlights the importance of local research. 1 The percentage of Merseyside children suffering from pediculosis, who were evacuated to areas such as Herefordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire, was between 22-50% compared with children from London where the percentage ranged from 8-35%.
