170726 Duty to Cooperate Statement FINAL PLYMOUTH & SOUTH WEST DEVON JOINT LOCAL PLAN 2014-2034 DUTY TO COOPERATE STATEMENT JULY 2017 JLP Duty to Cooperate Statement PLYMOUTH AND SOUTH WEST DEVON JOINT LOCAL PLAN. DUTY TO COOPERATE STATEMENT JULY 2017 1 JLP Duty to Cooperate Statement INTRODUCTION AND CONTEXT The Duty to Cooperate was introduced in the Localism Act 2011 and relates to the preparation of local plans and other statutory planning policy documents that are of a strategic nature. The Act places a legal duty on local planning authorities, county councils in England and public bodies to engage constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis to maximise the effectiveness of Local and Marine Plan preparation in the context of strategic cross boundary matters. As set out in the Planning Practice Guidance published in March 2014, the Duty to Cooperate is not a duty to agree, however, local planning authorities are required to make every effort to secure the necessary cooperation on strategic cross boundary matters before they submit their Local Plans for examination. This Duty to Cooperate Statement relates to the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan 2014-2034 that has been prepared collaboratively by Plymouth City Council, West Devon Borough Council and South Hams District Council, and the process that led to the decision by the three local authorities to produce a joint Local Plan. These three neighbouring authorities are located in the south west of Devon. Map 1 showing Plymouth Housing Market Area in the context of neighbouring authorities This Statement sets out how Plymouth City Council, West Devon Borough Council and South Hams District Council used the Duty to Cooperate to come to a decision to prepare the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan 2014-2034 (JLP), and then continued to work with the Duty to Cooperate throughout the JLP process. The document has been prepared as evidence that will be considered by the Planning Inspector as part of the local plan examination. 2 JLP Duty to Cooperate Statement This document explains that through the Duty to Cooperate, three neighbouring local authorities that were initially progressing individual plans decided to constructively work together to prepare a joint local plan that would effectively address cross boundary strategic matters in one composite local plan. The LPAs of Plymouth, South Hams and West Devon saw the duty as an opportunity to produce a plan which for the first time sets out a strategy and key policies for the city and wider area bringing together the vision for growth and transformation of Plymouth with the approach of fostering sustainable, thriving towns and villages in the surrounding rural areas. Through the duty, it was agreed that the aspirations for each administrative area were complementary and should be planned together in order to ensure that growth takes place in a sustainable manner. Therefore, in the context of Plymouth and South West Devon, the Duty to Cooperate has not simply been demonstrated, it has positively led to three local authorities identifying common issues and deciding that they should collaborate on a Joint Local Plan. It is therefore considered that the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan shows that the three local authorities have fulfilled the Duty to Cooperate, have positively entered into the spirit of cooperation envisaged by the Duty, and that the JLP is a prime example of the approach to strategic planning advocated by the Housing White Paper. The Duty to Cooperate and Engagement with Neighbouring Authorities The Duty to Cooperate seeks to ensure that local planning authorities deliver effective strategic planning through their Local Plans by working with other local planning authorities beyond their own administrative boundaries. Engaging with other local authorities can help to ensure that social, environmental and economic issues are addressed effectively, for example, housing market and travel to work areas, river catchments and ecological networks may represent a more effective basis on which to plan for housing, transport, infrastructure, flood risk management, biodiversity and climate change mitigation and adaption. All these issues are not confined to administrative boundaries and require positive, constructive and continuous partnership working between local authorities. Prior to deciding to collaborate on the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan, Plymouth City Council, West Devon Borough Council and South Hams District Council had been working on their own individual Local Plans: Plymouth: The Plymouth Plan Part One (dealing with overarching strategy and policies) had been published as a draft. West Devon: The West Devon Our Plan had reached a Regulation 19 Pre-Submission consultation stage. South Hams: The South Hams Our Plan had reached an early Regulation 18 ‘Issues and Options’ stage. As part of these processes, the local authorities had been cooperating with each other, Devon County Council, Dartmoor National Park Authority and Cornwall Council. Cooperation was undertaken using the Devon Duty to Cooperate Protocol, a copy of which can be viewed here (http://www.devon.gov.uk/duty_to_cooperate_protocol.pdf ). This local authority cooperation resulted in a number of joint evidence base documents being produced that covered strategic matters such as the identification of the Plymouth Housing Market Area, housing needs, employment requirements, and 3 JLP Duty to Cooperate Statement impacts on sensitive environments (see Table 2 below). The cooperation also led to the identification of cross boundary issues that each local authority would need to address in their Local Plans (see Table 1 below). Some of these issues revolved around the emerging requirement for Plymouth City Council to work with its neighbours to explore whether some housing needs could be met within adjoining local authority areas. Further work had suggested that in particular, South Hams District Council and the City Council needed to work closely to find potential locations for urban extensions on the edge of Plymouth that were within the South Hams’ administrative area. From this early work, it quickly became apparent that Plymouth, South Hams and West Devon would need to work together closely to properly plan for the needs of the Plymouth HMA. A number of conclusions were reached around the strategic issues that needed to be addressed. An early expression of these issues was set out in the 2014 “Sub Regional Growth” Topic Paper produced by the City Council in collaboration with its Duty to Cooperate partners, and consulted upon as part of the Plymouth Plan Connections engagement.

  • Bounded by Heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall As 'Almost an Island'
    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 223-236 Bounded by heritage and the Tamar: Cornwall as ‘almost an island’ Philip Hayward University of Technology Sydney, Australia [email protected] (corresponding author) Christian Fleury University of Caen Normandy, France [email protected] Abstract: This article considers the manner in which the English county of Cornwall has been imagined and represented as an island in various contemporary contexts, drawing on the particular geographical insularity of the peninsular county and distinct aspects of its cultural heritage. It outlines the manner in which this rhetorical islandness has been deployed for tourism promotion and political purposes, discusses the value of such imagination for agencies promoting Cornwall as a distinct entity and deploys these discussions to a consideration of ‘almost- islandness’ within the framework of an expanded Island Studies field. Keywords: almost islands, Cornwall, Devon, islands, Lizard Peninsula, Tamar https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.98 • Received May 2019, accepted July 2019 © 2020—Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Over the last decade Island Studies has both consolidated and diversified. Island Studies Journal, in particular, has increasingly focussed on islands as complex socio-cultural-economic entities within a global landscape increasingly affected by factors such as tourism, migration, demographic change and the all-encompassing impact of the Anthropocene. Islands, in this context, are increasingly perceived and analysed as nexuses (rather than as isolates). Other work in the field has broadened the focus from archetypal islands—i.e., parcels of land entirely surrounded by water—to a broad range of locales and phenomena that have island-like attributes.

  • The RIVER TAMAR from GUNNISLAKE STATION
    The RIVER TAMAR from GUNNISLAKE STATION Once again we met at Gunnislake Station for a walk in the Tamar Valley which today focused on two different periods in time, both of which occurred before the railway even reached this area. The weather this morning was overcast but mild so it was ideal for walking and Maggie had even given us a bit longer than usual so everybody could enjoy the scenery and not rush past like last time. So, with Rosy by my side and everyone else following close behind, we left the station around 10am and wound our way up along quiet paths towards the hamlet of Delaware. Safely across the main road into Delaware Road, a short walk led to Delaware Farm where we turned right to follow a footpath and from here to the river we walked along what many believe was once the medieval packhorse route linking Tavistock with Launceston, the ancient capital of Cornwall. This was by far the most practical way to transport goods right through the dark ages and the medieval period when there were very few roads in the countryside. At that time Britain relied on these meandering trails and lanes to send and receive goods and the sure-footed mules, oxen and horses would carry immense loads balanced on their backs. Grain, fodder, fleeces, cloth and other agricultural products were carried between market towns on the backs of a string of animals often escorted by just one or two men. Later, to save the animals having to wade through the water, three local stone bridges were erected to span the River Tamar, all were to the same design, they were New Bridge at Gunnislake and Horsebridge and Greystone Bridge further upstream.

South Devon Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we are North revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas East that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision- Yorkshire making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 Devon County Personal Details: Name: Patricia Wendy Machin E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Bishopsteignton Residents Association Comment text: I have been a resident of Bishopsteignton for 17'years and am a member of the local residents association. I feel very strongly that it would not be in the best interests of this village to exclude it from the area of Teignmouth, as this is where most people go for shopping and services. The boundary of the A 380 and the extensive building there recently makes it difficult to get into Kingsteignton, whereas Teignmouth adjoins our village and is very accessible. The boundary between the two is not well marked and we identify with and share facilities and activities very much with Teignmouth and Shaldon. Our recent village festival was well attended by Teignmouth Residents and many people here are involved in organisations there, especially sailing and rowing, local churches and choirs, political groups and the arts. We feel very much a coastal area and our identity is here. We have a very active and strong local identity which includes Teignmouth and is highly valued by the people who live and visit here. Please do not change that, for the sake of political expediency. If democracy and local participation in the governance of this area means anything, I hope and trust that you will listen and take account of the views of the residents of Bishopsteignton.
