  • 2020 Paignton
    GUIDE 1 Welcome to the 2020 NOPS Kit Kat Tour Torbay is a large bay on Devon’s south coast. Overlooking its clear blue waters from their vantage points along the bay are three towns: Paignton, Torquay and Brixham. The bays ancient flood plain ends where it meets the steep hills of the South Hams. These hills act as suntrap, allowing the bay to luxuriate in its own warm microclimate. It is the bays golden sands and rare propensity for fine weather that has led to the bay and its seaside towns being named the English Riviera. Dartmoor National Park is a wild place with open moorlands and deep river valleys, a rich history and rare wildlife, making is a unique place and a great contrast to Torbay in terms of photographic subjects. The locations listed in the guide have been selected as popular areas to photograph. I have tried to be accurate with the postcodes but as many locations are rural, they are an approximation. They are not intended as an itinerary but as a starting point for a trigger-happy weekend. All the locations are within an hour or so drive from the hotel. Some locations are run by the National Trust or English Heritage. It would be worth being members or going with a member so that the weekend can be enjoyed to the full. Prices listed are correct at time of publication, concession prices are in brackets. Please take care and be respectful of the landscape around you. If you intend climbing or doing any other dangerous activities, please go in pairs (at least).

  • South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.

L' -l ) I -.-. +ì- ; t,i t: Norma Rolf Devonshire Association r9g7 - rggg THE BATHING HOUSE, ELBURY COVE, CHURSTON FERRERS INTRODUCTION The recording of the bathing house at Elbury Cove is a departure from the farm buildings previously surveyed by the recorders. It is impossible ro enter the building as it is an unstable ruin now being undermined by the sea and entry is barred because of the danger of falling masonry. Very little was previously known of the use and history of the building, only that it was described locally as Lord Churston's Bathing House. ì There have been four spellings of Elbury ovér the past three centuries: Elbinny Cove is recorded on Admiralty Chart 26 of 1808;1 Helbury is the spelling on the Tithe Mup of 1.,844;2 then Elbury on the Ordnance Survey map of L865;3 the common spelling now is Elberry. LOCATION The remains of the bathing house at Elbury Cove are situated at OS national grid reference SX 903569 to the south-west of Torbay, two miles from Brixham and half a mile from Broadsands (Fig. 1). The cove can only be approached from the sea or by walking along paths from Broadsands, the coastal footpath from Brixham or the picturesque path from Churston Ferrers across the golf course through Marridge I'Woods and descending down the winding path to the bathing house. The cove consists of a bank of steeply sloping Devonian limestone pebbles with sand only visible at low water spring tides.

    Table of Contents 1 Introduction ........................................................................ 5 2 Objectives and Themes ......................................... 13 3 Green Infrastructure Projects ......................... 39 4 Delivering the Framework ..................................88 NOTE This framework has been written by South Hams District Council Officers, in conjunction with a wide range of organisations, to help guide green infrastructure development across the District. The framework should be viewed as a partnership, rather than a South Hams District Council, document reflecting the fact that many projects will be led by other organisations or partnerships and recognising the need for coordinated, targeted delivery of green infrastructure. The following organisations provided comments on a draft version of the framework: Devon Biodiversity Records Centre, Devon Birdwatching and Preservation Society, Devon County Council, Devon Wildlife Trust, Environment Agency, National Trust, Natural England, RSPB, South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Unit and the Woodland Trust. Ideas for green infrastructure projects were also identified through an online survey open to members of the public. All comments received have been taken into account in this final document. The production of the framework has been funded and supported by the South Devon Green Infrastructure Partnership comprising Natural England, South Hams District Council, Torbay Council, Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust, South Devon Area of Outstanding
