CASE STUDY BURGH ISLAND Bigbury-on-Sea PROJECT Reroofing of Burgh Island Causeway apartment block CONTRACTOR B&C Roofing PROJECT MANAGEMENT JCA Engineering ARCHITECT van Ellen Sheryn PRODUCT Cambrian Slate in Slate Grey BEATING THE ELEMENTS Wild and unpredictable weather in the coastal village of Bigbury-on-Sea has called for Redland’s Cambrian Slate for the roof of an apartment block on the clifftop facing the famous Burgh Island Hotel. The reroofing project was part of a £2m rejuvenation of the Burgh Island Causeway apartment block, a series of 28 two-bedroom self-catering holiday homes. The decision to completely reroof the buildings with the popular Redland slate came after the existing roof was deemed unsuitable. Several areas of the existing 18-year old roof tiles were broken which was causing leaks to appear. Architect Eilir Sheryn from van Ellen Sheryn, said: “We have a really good working relationship with roofing contractors in the South West and it was B & C Roofing that suggested we use Cambrian with the Redland SpecMaster specification service. The low pitch of the roof precluded us the use of other alternatives, so the Redland Cambrian Slate practically specified itself.” Gale force winds, wind-driven rain and sea spray are common occurrences on the Devon coastline which presented challenges for the site. “The three-point fixing system of the Cambrian Slate is what stood out for us. By securing both the top and the tail of the tile it creates a very strong fixing,” Eilir explains. “In this area, a lot of the natural slate tiles are being blown up and snapped by the strong wind and so having a product like the Cambrian Slate that fixes so securely Redland Cambrian Slates embody the beauty and really fits the part and gave me the confidence I needed.” character of natural slate, manufactured in Wales with over 60% recycled Welsh slate.

The Best Hotels in England for a Murder Mystery Party
The best hotels in England for a murder mystery party Interiors at Burgh Island inspire a Twenties backdrop to the hotel’s well-known murder mystery weekends Charlotte Johnstone, TRAVEL WRITER ‘Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the bride and groom, Zoe and Mike!” a man in a suit announced to a room of about 60 of us. Everyone clapped, but no one had a clue who Zoe and Mike were. It was a most bizarre beginning to an evening, but then I wasn’t at a “real” wedding: I was a character at “Zoe’s Second Wedding”, a murder mystery night held at The Old Swan, a grande dame hotel in Harrogate. And though it was night of high drama, with a murder, dinner and a huge plot twist, I found it absolutely hysterical – especially the eccentric characters such as Aunt Gladys, a colourful whirlwind of a woman who fawned her way across the room. I’ve been to a few immersive dinner experiences but you can’t really beat a good old murder mystery; there is something about participating in a story and pretending to be someone else for the night, getting to know the lead characters and deducing like a Poirot, that sets it apart. Add in an eerie setting, perhaps an old castle with a gruesome history, an Art Deco hotel on an island or a draughty manor house with a big Agatha Christie connection, and you can see why events like these draw a crowd – a few people I met at The Old Swan attend them regularly.

The Best of the British Isles
TRAVEL THE BEST OF THE BRITISH There’s something special about travelling to an island, it feels like the ultimate escape from the modern world, somewhere to reconnect with ISLES nature and slow down the pace of life. Words: Louise Curley UNDREDS OF ISLANDS dot the coastline of Britain; they’re perfect for those who love the outdoors, and you don’t need to leave the trappings of comfort behind, with plenty of luxurious accommodation to choose from. Here’s a selection of some of the best of the HBritish Isles where you can discover ancient history, forgotten cultures, fantastic wildlife and incredible views. SKYE The largest and most northerly of the Inner Hebrides, Skye offers truly breath-taking scenery with the towering peaks of the mountains known as The Cuillin, the mirror-like lochs, heather-clad moorland and rugged sea cliffs. It’s a fabulous spot for wildlife watching too, with sea eagles and golden eagles soaring majestically overhead and seals, otters and whales in the waters around the island. Spend time on Skye and you’ll return home refreshed and invigorated. Do: Go wild swimming in the fairy pools at Glen Brittle - magical pools of crystal clear, sparkling green, very cold water. W Visit Dunvegan Castle, home to the Clan MacLeod, and Armadale Castle, home to Clan Donald. W Take a boat trip from Elgol into Loch Coruisk for spectac- ular views of the Cuillin. W Visit the Talisker whiskey dis- tillery. W Feeling adventurous? Try a spot of sea kayaking.

PLANNING APPLICATION REPORT Case Officer: Wendy Ormsby Parish: Bigbury Ward: Charterlands Application No : 162932 2879/16/FUL Agent/Applicant: Applicant: Miss Wynn Chandra Mr Anthony Orchard 62-70 Shorts Gardens Burgh Island Hotel Covent Garden Bigbury-On-Sea London South Devon WC2H 9AH TQ7 4BG Site Address: Development site at SX 649 438, South East side of Burgh Island, Bigbury Development: Erection of new standalone hotel suite on Burgh Island to provide hotel additional accommodation Reason item is being put before Committee: At the discretion of the CoP Lead due to the finely balanced nature of the recommendation, in light of no objection from the Parish and in view of the fact that the Ward Member for the area is newly elected. Recommendation: Refusal Reasons for refusal 1. Having regard to its prominent location on the eastern extremity of Burgh Island, protruding out above the sea, the proposed development will be intrusive in the landscape introducing an inappropriate, artificial, man-made structure into this rugged, natural coastline. As such the development fails to conserve or enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the adjacent South Devon AONB and Heritage Coast contrary to Policies CS9 and DP2 of the South Hams Local Development Framework, Policies SPT11, DEV24 and DEV27 of the emerging Joint Local Plan, The AONB Management Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework, in particular paragraph 115. The landscape harm arising is not mitigated or offset by any merits or benefits of the proposed development. 2 . Insufficient detail has been submitted to demonstrate the following: • That the proposed development would be executed to the high standard suggested by the application • That the geology and structure of the rock stack will enure for sufficient time for this to be sustainable development and will not give rise for the need for protection from erosion by measures such as rock armour.
