The conservation area and boundary were apply to protect the existing street scene and surveyed in April 2012 for a University project and encourage enhancement where appropriate. a consultation on the conservation area was held These are outlined in Appendix 2. later in 2012.

SILVERTON CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL AND MANAGEMENT PLAN—PAGE 1 2. PLANNING POLICY CONTEXT Conservation Areas are designated under the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation) Act 1990, section 69(1), by Local Planning Authorities. Conservation Area Appraisals are not normally adopted as part of the Local Plan but they are nevertheless an integral tool that guides development. They are expected to be the subject of community involvement through a public consultation. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the national guidance and policies for creating conservation areas in section 12: Conserving and enhancing the historic environment. “When considering the designation of conservation areas, local planning authorities should ensure that an area justifies such status because of its special architectural or historic interest, and that the concept of conservation is not devalued through the designation of areas that lack special interest” NPPF (2012) Section 12; Paragraph 127 Local policies for protecting and preserving heritage assets can be found on the Mid Devon website. “The historic environment is an asset of great cultural, social, economic and environmental value. It contributes significantly to our quality of life and o the character of the district, representing a non-renewable resource that once lost is gone forever” Local Plan Part 3 (2013) Policy DM27 National and Local planning policies change over time so it is important to check the up to date policy framework when considering making a planning application. At the date of publication all policies quoted were correct. SILVERTON CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL AND MANAGEMENT PLAN—PAGE 2 3.

  • Devon Historic Churches Day the Worlingtons Were Wonderful
    Devon Historic Churches Day The Worlingtons were wonderful – again….. Steve Baber led The Charge again, supported so superbly by our Churchwardens Patrick Brook and Ray Bassingthwaighte with Michael Wall venturing into ‘Outer Limits’ all to raise funds for our Devon churches. There is clearly something very special about living in Worlington that gives so many of our residents the energy to go the extra mile for so many good causes – and for the many who have supported them with sponsorship for their endeavours. As County Organiser I was ‘out and about’ (by car of course!) with visits to various churches. Each year I choose a different area of the county and this year most of it was spent in Cadbury Deanery – starting with an 8am visit to Kennerleigh Church – then Sandford and Crediton before spending time with churches in central Exeter which were taking part in their annual Pilgrimage – the highlight of which was at the Cathedral where Bishop Martin Shaw entertained us amusingly as always over some splendid refreshments. Back on the road for me, with a visit to Cheriton Fitzpaine, Stockleigh English, Wolfardisworthy, Morchard Bishop and Lapford before crossing the border into the South Molton Deanery to visit Chulmleigh where they were not only held a coffee morning but also in the afternoon some exciting abseiling from the church tower. I then visited Chawleigh before returning to our Worlingtons. Altogether a most rewarding day, giving me the opportunity to meet good folk in each location and discuss the challenges they had with maintaining their churches – but everyone I met was happy and supportive - despite the heavy showers.

This Mid Devon Infrastructure Plan is part of the council’s delivery strategy for implementing this requirement, initially forming part of the evidence base for the Mid Devon Local Development Framework, Mid Devon Infrastructure Plan in particular the Allocations and Infrastructure Development Plan Document. It takes account of the strategic planning framework set out in the Regional Spatial Strategy for the South West and the adopted Mid Devon Core Strategy. Policy COR1 of the Core Strategy sets out the basis for creation of sustainable communities, and the provision of infrastructure forms one of the key planks in that work. Core Strategy Policy COR8 gives guidance on the role of planning and development in that provision, making it clear that development and infrastructure planning should be co-ordinated, and that there is a role for development to contribute to the cost of new or improved infrastructure. 1.2 The Mid Devon Infrastructure Plan sets out the following: • What infrastructure improvements will support the additional development in Mid Devon, when these are likely to be required and who will provide them. • What resources will be required for these improvements, and whether these are likely to be available to infrastructure providers.

Seems to have been the story all year this year. I managed to take some holidays in September and Patrick and I spent three weeks in England and Ireland. As usual I did not get to see half the people I had hoped to but did try to talk to quite a few people on the telephone. Did manage to do a bit of research while having a wonderful holiday. I was able to acquire several items of interest while in England and Ireland. I did find some elusive Guinan ancestors in Ireland which I was very pleased to find. In England I made copies of some of the Guildhall wills which added to that collection. I found a couple of Ralph Whitlock's books and was able to get copies of the portraits of Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke (1605-1675) and his father Sir James Whitlock (1570-1632) from the National Portrait gallery. I also brought back the forms for people to request copies of these through the mail if they wish to. I met with Robert Whitelocke Fountaine in Hertfordshire regarding the chart (R1926) showing his descent from Roger De la Beche circa 1200AD.
