Map 1 shows the population density (2011 Census) across the study area, indicating very low density in the rural areas of Dartmoor and South Hams, with populations concentrated in Ashburton (4,000), Buckfastleigh (3,300) Ivybridge (12,000) and Plympton (30,000). South Brent has a less dense but still significant population of 2,800. The map clearly shows that the vast majority of local trips within the A38 corridor between Plymouth and Ashburton will originate in the towns along the corridor. Trip destinations For the purposes of this study we have considered only employment sites as trip destinations using 2011 Census data on location of employment. Other major destinations could include shopping centres, schools and colleges, and health facilities. However, considered across this wide area, these facilities are generally located within the towns, so are assumed to be included within the towns as destinations. The key destinations on this basis are seen on Map 2 to be Ashburton, Buckfastleigh, Ivybridge, Lee Mill and Plympton. The central and southern part of Plymouth city are indicated This map was produced by by Rupert Crosbee on 17 May 2017 as major employment destinations, justifying Scale 1:100000 the extension of this study into the centre of the city. 2 South Dartmoor Towns August 2017 Desire lines Location of Map 2 Desire lines Considering the origins and destinations along Desire Lines the A38 corridor, Map 3 shows the desire lines employment for travel between these points. These largely Map 3 follow the existing NCN route 2, also shown on the map. The population density and employment density eastwards of Ivybridge, and the distances between settlements, suggest that the primary use of the routes in the eastern part of the study area are likely to be proportionally more highly used for recreation and leisure, in contrast to the route westwards from Ivybridge, where commuting trips are likely to be more prevalent. Produced by Rupert Crosbee on 17 May 2017 Scale 1:200000 This map was produced by by Rupert Crosbee on 17 May 2017 Scale 1:100000 South Dartmoor Towns August 2017 3 The journey to work Count data from DfT show an annual average daily flow (AADF) for cycles on the A374 We have undertaken further analysis of the Plymouth Road at around 475 to 500 out of an 2011 Census data to give an indication of the AADF for all motor vehicles between 48 and potential for modal shift in commuting trips 58,000. Given the unpleasant conditions for originating in Ivybridge, Plympton and East cycling, and the poor quality of provision, this and central Plymouth – all origins lying on the would seem to indicate a high potential for a corridor of the NCN Route 2. shift to cycling if conditions were improved.

  • E.86/13 TRANSFER of PLYMPTON and TOTNES CHAINS Members
    E.86/13 TRANSFER OF PLYMPTON AND TOTNES CHAINS Members were asked to consider a report that sought to transfer ownership of the chain that previously belonged to Plympton St Mary Rural District Council (‘the Plympton chain’) to Plymouth City Council. The report also sought approval to negotiating the gifting of the Totnes Rural District Council Chain to Totnes Town Council. The Executive Portfolio Holder for Corporate Services introduced the report and advised Members that he would be likely to amend the recommendations but wanted to hear from a local Ward Member for Bickleigh and Shaugh before doing so. The Ward Member for Bickleigh and Shaugh began by advising Members of the history of settlement in the western end of the District. The Rural District Council (RDC) had been formed under the Local Government Act of 1894 that comprised of Bickleigh, Brixton, Cornwood, Harford, Holbeton, Ivybridge, Newton and Noss, Shaugh Prior, Sparkwell, Wembury and Yealmpton Parishes. Whilst Plympton benefited from the Civic status of Plymouth City Council, 85% of the old RDC area still lay within South Hams and the chain represented their heritage. The Council should be mindful of the difficulties of creating new communities; a challenge that would most likely be presented once Sherford had been built. The chain would provide a symbol of history and civic pride that would help to create the new community. He concluded by proposing that the chain be made available on loan to Plymouth City Council until such time as Sherford, in conjunction with surrounding South Hams towns and parishes, were in a position to use it for the benefit of South Ham’s residents.

Map Features: Comment text: Bickleigh Parish Council is concerned that the proposal does not seem to take account of any future development, ie there is no recognition that there is a requirement for 500 houses in the South Hams area. There is an assumption that the housing will be within the Woolwell area and if housing does come about, then that development would be in Bickleigh and Cornwood Ward which would significantly aler the equality principle. The Parish Council accept that there are no firm applications for the development to take place in this area but discussions are on-going and it is understood that a planning application might be coming forward before the end of the year.

  • DEVON AREA GROUP REPORTS 2019 Devon Bootlegs East Devon
    DEVON AREA GROUP REPORTS 2019 Devon Bootlegs Devon Bootlegs has maintained good membership numbers over the last 12 months and indeed, continues to attract new walkers of all ages. We offer a strong and varied walks programme with walks every Sunday and when time allows, on Saturdays too. There was also a very successful adventure to Lundy earlier this year which all participants thoroughly enjoyed. In addition to regular walks, we continue to organise a variety of social events including cinema evenings, walks planning meetings and an annual Christmas party. Jenna Chynoweth East Devon We are the largest of the Devon Groups with nearly one fifth of Devon’s membership, reflecting in part our geographic size and population. Membership held up consistently in 2019, remarkably staying within 10 of an average level of 476 members throughout the year, and close to our historic peak. Most of all, our members appear to value our extensive programme of led walks. We are very pleased that this year we have been able to expand our programme to its greatest-ever extent. We offered, for the first time, two led walks on each of our regular walk days of Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. With additional walks outside this regular pattern, this amounted to some 330 walks per year. We know that this level of provision is an attraction not only to Ramblers resident in our area, but also to many outside. This has only been possible with a very enthusiastic walks programme team and a willingness of around 120 of our members to be leaders.
