  • 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.

Rather than being an end of work it is in fact (to quote Churchill) “the end of the beginning”. That is because Exmouth Neighbourhood Plan (ENP) has not been produced to sit on a shelf gathering dust: the only real point of having a “made” plan is to get it used and used properly. Moving forward, Exmouth Town Council’s involvement in the Neighbourhood Plan process will transition from a plan making focus to an infrastructure and project delivery focus.

  • Site Improvement Plan Sidmouth to West Bay
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Sidmouth to West Bay Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.
