  • Al160207osa Market Coastal Towns
    EEC/07/63/HQ Environment, Economy and Culture Overview/Scrutiny Committee 5 March 2007 Market and Coastal Towns Report of the Director of Environment, Economy and Culture 1. Summary In January 2006, members received a report on the draft Devon Sites and Premises Strategy and as a result expressed concern about the shortage of premises for smaller businesses. It was resolved that a further report be submitted, which covered economic development issues relating to Market Towns, including the availability of sites for relocation of small businesses and the Market and Coastal Town initiative (MCTi). This report concentrates on work undertaken in association with the MCTi pending further analysis of specific matters relevant to business premises. 2. Background In the South West, the MCTi commenced in 2000 and was led by the Regional Development Agency, Countryside Agency and English Heritage, with support from many other bodies. The scheme received greater emphasis following the incidence of Foot and Mouth Disease and a number of towns adversely affected were included in the programme. Since October 2004, delivery of the initiative has been charged to the Market and Coastal Towns Association (MCTA). This is an independent organisation largely funded by the Regional Development Agency, English Heritage and Big Lottery Fund. The initiative is a community based regeneration programme focusing on the preparation, by local people, of a long term Community Strategic Plan covering the social, economic, environmental and cultural features of their town and its hinterland. The MCTA delivers capacity building support to communities, enabling them to prepare the plans and develop their skills and organisational capacity while sharing good practice with others.

That the Habitat Regulations Appropriate Assessment contained within the report be adopted; and, 2. The application be APPROVED subject to conditions. Crown Copyright and database rights 2019 Ordnance Survey 100023746 Committee Date: 29th August 2019 Whimple And Target Date: Rockbeare 19/1606/FUL 18.09.2019 (Rockbeare) Applicant: Mr N Readfern (Whimbrel Homes Ltd) Location: The Elms London Road Proposal: Construction of 3 bay garage with flat above RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the Habitat Regulations Appropriate Assessment contained within the report be adopted; and, 2. The application be APPROVED subject to conditions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application is before Members as it represents a departure from adopted policy. The proposal seeks to provide a flat above a garage block that has previously benefitted from planning permission. As the principle of development of the site has been found to be acceptable by a Planning Inspector in 2016, due to its close relationship of the site with Cranbrook, and with planning permission subsequently approved for the garage block as part of a development of 4 dwellings on the site, the principle of a building in this location and residential use of the site has been established and is acceptable. The access is suitable to serve the additional dwelling and adequate car parking is provided. Whilst the proposal will increase the ridge height of the garage slightly, and introduce a couple of dormer windows and gable ends to the front and rear elevations, the site is set back from the main road frontage and as such the design of the proposal is considered to be acceptable.

  • Northern Devon in the Domesday Book
    NORTHERN DEVON IN THE DOMESDAY BOOK INTRODUCTION The existence of the Domesday Book has been a source of national pride since the first antiquarians started to write about it perhaps four hundred years ago. However, it was not really studied until the late nineteenth century when the legal historian, F W Maitland, showed how one could begin to understand English society at around the time of the Norman Conquest through a close reading and analysis of the Domesday Book (Maitland 1897, 1987). The Victoria County Histories from the early part of the twentieth century took on the task of county-wide analysis, although the series as a whole ran out of momentum long before many counties, Devon included, had been covered. Systematic analysis of the data within the Domesday Book was undertaken by H C Darby of University College London and Cambridge University, assisted by a research team during the 1950s and 1960s. Darby(1953), in a classic paper on the methodology of historical geography, suggested that two great fixed dates for English rural history were 1086, with Domesday Book, and circa 1840, when there was one of the first more comprehensive censuses and the detailed listings of land-use and land ownership in the Tithe Survey of 1836-1846. The anniversary of Domesday Book in 1986 saw a further flurry of research into what Domesday Book really was, what it meant at the time and how it was produced. It might be a slight over-statement but in the early-1980s there was a clear consensus about Domesday Book and its purpose but since then questions have been raised and although signs of a new shared understanding can be again be seen, it seems unlikely that Domesday Book will ever again be taken as self-evident.
