These topic papers have been produced to coordinate and consolidate some of the evidence used in drafting the emerging local plan. All the topic papers are available to view online at: www.dartmoor.gov.uk/living-and-working/planning/planning-policy/background-evidence 1.1.2 The purpose of this topic paper is to gather evidence and serve as a starting point for developing options and alternatives around vision, objectives and spatial strategy. Invariably the paper will cover issues which overlap or compete with those in other parts of the evidence base (e.g.SA/SEA, Flood Risk Assessment, housing, Landscape Character Assessment). In light of this the Topic Paper’s aims are to: • Review key relevant legislation and policy which set the statutory framework for the local plan in this area; • Identify/review the current Dartmoor National Park Authority vision, objectives and spatial policy framework and its effectiveness; • identify the key drivers around vision and spatial policy and opportunities for improvement; and • recommend a potential vision and objectives for the local plan; • identify and appraise reasonable options for a spatial strategy for the local plan • review the current approach to settlement boundaries 1.1.3 The topic paper has been updated throughout the course of the local plan review to reflect new evidence or changes to national guidance or policy. The view of the local community, key stakeholders and partner organisations who all have an interest in the future of Dartmoor National Park forms part of the evidence base for the local plan. The Authority have therefore welcomed feedback on this Paper. The following summarises the changes made in each version: Version Changes made Version 1 Original topic paper April 2018 Version 2 Updated to reflect 2019 NPPF December 2018 Lydford services and facilities updated at Appendix 1 Version 3 Update on Management Plan, climate change, plan period, and settlement September 2019 hierarchy methodology Vision and Spatial Strategy Topic Paper 4 2 A Vision for Dartmoor National Park 2.1 Context and current visions 2.1.1 National Planning Practice Guidance states: “The development plan is at the heart of the planning system ... Plans set out a vision and a framework for the future development of the area, addressing needs and opportunities in relation to housing, the economy, community facilities and infrastructure – as well as a basis for conserving and enhancing the natural and historic environment, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and achieving well designed places. It is essential that plans are in place and kept up to date.” (Reference ID: 61-026-20180913) 2.1.2 The current local plan for Dartmoor is based around a vision for the National Park. The vision enables an overall direction to be set, an indication of what the plan is aiming to achieve over the long term. Identifying a vision enables an agreement on key priorities. It then serves to unify policy towards an agreed aim, acting as a check upon new policy that it is consistent and not conflicted in what it is aiming to achieve. 2.1.3 At a national level, the UK Government has a Vision for the English National Parks and the Broads1. This is a high level aim, given it aims to set direction for national parks as a whole, which are geographically and characteristically diverse, and with a range of different drivers and pressures. The vision therefore seeks to identify key aims which link with national park purposes, and, importantly, with a strong theme of sustainable development. UK Government Vision for English National Parks and the Broads1 By 2030 English National Parks and the Broads will be places where: • There are thriving, living, working landscapes notable for their natural beauty and cultural heritage. They inspire visitors and local communities to live within environmental limits and to tackle climate change. The wide range of services they provide (from clean water to sustainable food) are in good condition and valued by society. • Sustainable development can be seen in action. The communities

This information has been produced by the Dartmoor National Park Authority in conjunction with Dartmoor For All, and is designed to help and encourage those who are disabled, less mobile or have young children, to relax, unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside in the Dartmoor area. This information will help you to make the right choices for your day out. Nearly half of Dartmoor is registered common land. Under the Dartmoor Commons Act 1985, a right of access was created for persons on foot or horseback. This right extends to those using wheelchairs, powered wheelchairs and mobility scooters, although one should be aware that the natural terrain and gradients may curb access in practice. Common land and other areas of 'access land' are marked on the Ordnance Survey (OS) map, Outdoor Leisure 28.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

    Geoscience in south-west England SOIL GAS ANOMALIES IN THE DARTMOOR AREA G.A. DUDDRIDGE Duddridge, G.A. 2001. Soil gas anomalies in the Dartmoor area. Geoscience in south-west England, 10, 000-000 Geochemical work was carried out at a sampling density of 1/km2 in the South Zeal to Lustleigh area, along a 30 km length of the Sticklepath Fault. The survey revealed high soil gas helium, carbon dioxide and radon in areas close to the fault and at a number of other locations. Both the soil gas analysis and stream patterns suggest a fault zone rather than one single structure. The low density soil gas mapping and previous work has shown that soil gas helium has not been recorded higher than 604 ppb above normal atmospheric levels in the Dartmoor area. Carbon dioxide was only exceptionally above 6% and radon showed higher activity both in relationship to the granite and faulting. 67 Higher Exwick Hill, Exwick, Exeter, EX4 2AW, U.K. (E-mail [email protected]). INTRODUCTION Helium and carbon dioxide are normally present within the soil pores and concentrations are often above the normal atmospheric levels of 5220 ppb and 0.035% respectively. Radon is also, often present. Soil gas values may be particularly high when measured above faults and fractures which form permeable pathways for the gases. The measurement of these gases may be carried out using the methods described in Duddridge et al. (1991) and Duddridge and Grainger (1998). There is no specific concentration of helium (He) and carbon dioxide (CO2), or activity level in the case of radon (Rn), that sets a threshold for a soil gas anomaly.

  • RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 Foreword
    locafenvironment agency plan RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 Foreword The integrated management of the environment is a fundamental philosophy for the Environment Agency with Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs) taking a key role in this approach. The River Teign Catchment covers a popular area of Devon including part of Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon Heritage Coast. The towns of Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and Torquay are important economic and tourist centres and it is important that the assets of the catchment are maintained and protected both now and for future generations to enjoy. It is vital that the needs of all uses of the area, including flora and fauna, are balanced to ensure continued protection of these precious assets. This Action Plan epitomises the Agency's commitment to protect and where necessary enhance the environment through the Agency's own actions or in association with other organisations. We are very grateful for the contributions made during the consultation period and are convinced that they represent the spirit of partnership that will be required to implement the plan.
