Cornwood and Lutton Community Plan 2019 Our Community the Parish of Cornwood Consists of Two Villages, Cornwood and Lutton, Plus Several Hamlets and Estates Cornwood and Lutton Community Plan 2019 Our Community The parish of Cornwood consists of two villages, Cornwood and Lutton, plus several hamlets and estates. Situated in the South Hams, the parish is bisected by the Dartmoor National Park boundary, with Lutton just outside and Cornwood just inside the park. With a current population of around 1100 (from the 2011 census) the villages grew up around agriculture and the nearby mines. The current population is of mixed incomes and a middling to aging demographic. The parish has a school and pre-school, church, pub, shop, post office and village hall, all of which are highly valued. There are many well attended social events scattered through the year including the 10k Run, Flower Festival and Fair in the Square all organised by the church, the Cornwood Show, Christmas Lights illumination along with Big Breakfasts, Orchard events, Coffee Mornings, Luncheon Club and many more excuses to meet up with each other. There are also many thriving clubs and organisations including Bowling, Cricket and Camera clubs, the WI, Brownies and Rainbows. What is a A Community Plan sets out to: Community Plan? • Assess what we value about our Community, • Find areas that can be improved, • Identify how to make the changes, A Community Plan acts as valuable evidence when we approach local authorities to demonstrate the need for improvements. It can be used to initiate changes, from the simple forming of a local interest group, to major changes concerning road traffic and public transport and it provides focus for money raising through grants and donations. Where did this A group of volunteers stepped up to develop a plan for the parish of Cornwood following an introductory talk on Community plan come from? Plans organised by the Parish Council. We named the project FOCAL; short for the Future of Cornwood and Lutton. The team followed a format of gathering thoughts and ideas from local people and organisations then used these to formulate a questionnaire which was distributed to every household in the parish. People from almost 70% of homes completed it, which is an amazing result, and this plan is built on what they told us. Everyone who has contributed with ideas or filled in the questionnaire has helped shape the outcomes, ensuring that this finished work is a representation of the wishes of the whole community. The findings from this plan have already helped to secure the long term future of the Cornwood Inn by providing evidence to get it listed as an Asset of Community Value, to get WiFi installed in the Village Hall and set-up cycling and running groups. About the The plan is divided into sections such as Transport, Outdoor Leisure and Village Environment. Each Community Plan section includes a summary of the questionnaire responses, what we want to achieve, what has been done so far to meet the objectives, and what has to happen next. If you would like to get involved in any of these initiatives, please contact the Parish Clerk Maureen Haynes email: [email protected] or phone 01752 878927 Roads The condition and use of local roads is a key priority. Of particular concern to people are speeding, flooding due to poor drainage, parking and the impact of agricultural vehicles on the roads. State of roads • There were many comments regarding the state of the roads, with concerns about pot-holes, poor drainage and consequent flooding. Speeding • Speeding was a key issue, with the majority of residents having observed vehicles speeding in the villages and around the parish. • 223 responded that speeding traffic made them feel unsafe when driving in the parish, and speeding traffic was highlighted as a concern making other road users less likely to walk, cycle or ride in the parish. • 30 people would like more speed restrictions and 47 people were interested in forming a speed awareness group. • 153 people feel that parking is a problem with poorly parked cars causing concerns for safety. Particular areas mentioned were Yondertown Parking Square and Cornwood Square. • There were specific mentions of parked cars blocking emergency vehicles and parking on pavements forcing pedestrians into the road, particularly in Lutton and Bond Street. • The speed and size of agricultural vehicles were mentioned as concerns, particularly in New Road Lutton, Bond Street and Fore Street Cornwood, Other but also generally in narrow lanes. • The Ivybridge school bus was mentioned as occasionally causing gridlock in the square while picking up and dropping off in the mornings and afternoons. What we want to • An environment where all road users can move around the parish safely. achieve • Well maintained roads including hedges, verges, gullies and pavements. • Careful and considerate driving and parking throughout the parish Action to date • The Parish now has four volunteers for the Devon County Council Road Warden scheme. This allows them to complete basic maintenance tasks: mend potholes (that do not meet the Highways Authority intervention criteria); clear weeds; clean signs; clear drainage; cut grass; repair finger posts; cut hedges and set up road closures for special events. • The Parish Council has engaged with DCC highways to improve signage and to raise awareness of speed limits. Next Steps • Encourage residents to communicate concerns to the Parish Council – develop website tool to facilitate this. • Develop existing links with Highway authorities to find ways to address priority concerns - especially speeding and possible traffic calming measures. • Set up a Speed Awareness group of volunteers. • Promote awareness of DCC online system for reporting potholes and other road problems via the Parish Council website • Work with residents to find solutions to parking concerns. TRANSPORT and HOUSING The vast majority of people in the parish own or have use of a vehicle and drive rather than use public transport. A bus link to Ivybridge was a popular request, particularly among young people, and there was interest in the idea of a car share scheme to reduce volume of traffic and commuting costs. Use of our public • Only 5 people said they use the Plymouth bus daily, 14 use it weekly and 15 monthly. transport links • Those who don’t use the bus say they are happy to drive themselves or don’t use it due to poor timetabling, irregular service or because the bus doesn’t go to where they need. • It was noted that a link to Ivybridge would open up access to many ongoing connections by both bus and rail. What we want to • To enable every member of the community to travel with the least difficulty. achieve • A community that is not so reliant on private transport - to reduce car journeys to benefit the local environment and reduce emissions • Improved public transport or sharing schemes, particularly at peak times to enable this. Action to date • The ‘Ring and Ride’ service travels to Ivybridge, Tesco and other areas for those unable to use public transport due to age or reduced mobility. Next Steps • Establish a ‘transport committee’ to better understand local transport needs and liaise with transport providers about possible improvements such as alternative destinations or timetabling. • Establish a steering group to investigate interest in and feasibility of car share/shared transport scheme. • Develop Parish Council website to share information about existing public transport and the ring and ride service. • A housing needs survey was conducted in December 2017. This identified a need for 8 affordable homes and 8 open market homes in the next 5 Housing years. • 14 respondents stated that they knew of people that had left the parish in the last 5 years due to a lack of suitable housing provision. There were others who felt that they would have to move in the next 5 years due to changing circumstances. • 75% of respondents to the question stated that they were in favour of a small development of affordable housing for local people. What we want to • That everyone in the parish has a good home and that no one is forced to leave the parish due to a lack of suitable housing achieve • That any new development should make a positive contribution to the village and should set high standards in terms of energy use, design and public space. Where possible any development should look to address other concerns or aspirations identified by this Community Plan. Action to date • A review of suitable housing sites has been undertaken within Cornwood (Dartmoor NP planning authority) (note: there are no sites in Lutton identified in the South Hams DC Local Plan) • Discussions have taken place with landowners and the Parish Council is working on funding and delivery models for affordable housing. Next Steps • Continue to work with landowners, Planning authorities and other stakeholders to explore the potential for a small development of new housing to serve the needs of the local community. OUTDOOR LEISURE The majority of people in the Parish enjoy accessing the great outdoors. This could be made easier by improving maintenance and signposting of public rights of way and improving access to the moor, particularly parking at moor gates. Walking • 164 walk daily in the parish, 101 weekly, 25 monthly, and 74 occasionally • 137 people say that they are put off walking because of the speed of traffic and farm machinery on the roads • 73 people say that there are not enough footpaths • The upkeep of footpaths and dog fouling were noted as a concern by a large number of people • It was also noted that game shoots and livestock occasionally make walking less desirable. Cycling • 60 people cycle in and around the Parish at least monthly and over 100 people are interested in a cycling club Horse Riding • 33 people responded that they ride in the area at least monthly and a further 16 less regularly • Additional bridle paths and access to the moor would be welcomed, and 22 riders would like organised rides on the moor.

  • South Hams District Council Submission on Draft Warding Arrangements
    South Hams District Council Submission on Draft Warding Arrangements At its meeting on 9 May 2013, South Hams District Council considered a report which sought to make a recommendation to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) on alternative warding arrangements for the Council. Having considered the agenda item, the Council subsequently resolved that:- 1. both Option A (Cllr Hicks’ Submission) and Option C (Cllr Pannell’s Submission No. 2) be submitted to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) for consideration during their deliberations for a preferred new pattern of warding arrangements; and 2. based upon this decision, delegated authority be granted to the Head of Corporate Services, in consultation with the Leader of Council, to prepare the Council’s submission to the LGBCE before the deadline of Tuesday, 4 June 2013. Please note that for the purposes of this paper, ‘Option A (Cllr Hicks’ Submission)’ is attached at Appendix A and ‘Option C (Cllr Pannell’s Submission)’ is attached at Appendix B. In reaching this decision, it is important to note that the Council has not indicated any preference for either of these Options. As a consequence, the LGBCE is asked to give equal weighting to these Options during its deliberations. In view of the timescales involved and the democratic process necessary for making council decisions, coupled with the fact that the Council has decided to put two Options forward, it has not been possible to produce a particularly detailed submission which outlines some suggested ward names. In both Options, the main towns in the South Hams have been shown as a total electorate with a number of required Councillors.

  • Officer Report
    PLANNING APPLICATION REPORT Case Officer: Clare Stewart Parish: Sparkwell Ward: Newton and Yealmpton Application No: 1501/18/OPA Agent/Applicant: Applicant: Mr James Wells Mr & Mrs Kendrick James Wells Planning Limited Houndall Barn 70 Lawrence Road Sparkwell Mount Batten PL7 5DG Plymouth PL9 9SJ Site Address: Houndall Barn, Sparkwell, PL7 5DG Development: Outline application with all matters reserved for the erection of one dwelling. Reason item is being put before Committee Referred by Ward Councillor Baldry who does not support the Officer recommendation for the following reasons: 1. The support of Sparkwell Parish Council 2. The special health circumstances of the applicant. Although not a planning consideration, I feel the Committee should be made aware. 3. Traffic movement numbers will be reduced if permission is granted. 4. There will be 1 additional building to the Houndall settlement without any impact on current properties. 5. Development is in a sustainable area in that there is a regular local bus service and local school. Recommendation: Refusal Reasons for refusal 1. The proposed development would result in a new dwelling which by virtue of its location and limited accessibility to essential services would be considered environmentally unsustainable. The positive benefits of a single dwelling in terms of housing supply and vitality of the rural community would be modest. The adverse impacts of granting planning permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal. The proposal is therefore contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (notably but not limited to paragraphs 8, 11 and 78); Policy CS1 of the LDF Core Strategy; Policy DP15 of the development Policies DPD; and Policy TTV31 of the emerging Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan.

  • HCW/16/48 Public Rights of Way Committee 8 July 2016 Definitive
    HCW/16/48 Public Rights of Way Committee 8 July 2016 Definitive Map Review Parish of Cornwood Report of the Head of Highways, Capital Development and Waste Please note that the following recommendation is subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that it be noted that the Definitive Map Review has been completed in the parish of Cornwood and no modifications are required. 1. Introduction The report examines the Definitive Map Review in the parish of Cornwood in South Hams District. 2. Background The original survey under s. 27 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 revealed twenty-one footpaths and four bridleways, which were recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement with a relevant date of 11 October 1954. Six further footpaths were subsequently transferred from Ivybridge following a boundary change. The review of the Definitive Map, under s. 33 of the 1949 Act, which commenced in the 1970s, but was never completed, produced no proposals for change to the map in the parish. The Limited Special Review of Roads Used as Public Paths (RUPPS), also carried out in the 1970s, did not affect this parish. Five footpaths, namely Footpath Nos. 7, 30, 31, 32 and 33, Cornwood, have been created by means of Public Path Creation Agreements and the Definitive Map and Statement subsequently modified by a Legal Event Modification Order in 1990. The following orders have been made and confirmed: Devon County Council Footpath No. 25, Cornwood Public Path Diversion Order 1979 Devon County Council Footpath No.
