Purpose The purpose of this document is to present a vision and economic plan for the ‘North Devon Surfing Beaches’ as significant environmental, economic and community assets for both the local and wider area. It has been prepared by the North Devon Surfing Beaches Coastal Community Team (CCT), which for the first time has brought together the range of interests across all of the beaches to prepare a joined-up strategy that responds to both individual and collective issues and opportunities. 2. Context 2.1. The local area The ‘North Devon Surfing Beaches’ comprise the four main beaches on the North Devon coast – Woolacombe, Saunton Sands, Putsborough and Croyde (see Fig. 2.1) - all are within the North Devon local authority area. Each is a wide, largely unspoilt sandy beach, backed by sand dunes with dramatic seascapes and are wild places from which to view and experience the North Devon coast. The beaches are located within a very high quality landscape and natural environment. They all fall within the North Devon Coast Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which is centred upon the internationally important Braunton Burrows sand dune system behind Saunton Sands (see Fig.

Welcome to the 2014 edition of Market Monitor. This report provides a review of the commercial property market in the South West of England and Wales over the past 12 months, with data, trends and market analysis on 12 key regional centres. After a year of steady GDP growth and improved confidence, particularly in the manufacturing, construction and service sectors, prospects for the region’s occupier market are at their most optimistic since the downturn began in 2008. As forecast in last year’s Market Monitor, stronger office and industrial take up combined with a greater shortage of new well-specified space led to a return of speculative development in 2013, the first for over four years. Two high profile office schemes are now underway in Bristol city centre, both of which could push rental levels over the £27.50 per sq ft mark. There are also speculative industrial schemes underway in Bristol, Gloucester, Wellington, Bridgwater and Newquay. The region’s retail sector benefits from continued investment, with new retail schemes either in the pipeline or recently completed in Swindon, Gloucester, Exeter, Plymouth, Newport, Swansea, Taunton and Yeovil. Together with a resurgent residential land market and strengthening investor confidence in the regions, we expect to see improving occupier demand and an increasing level of development and investment activity in 2014.

Introduction by Graham Chase Retail businesses are continuing to face a squeeze which boils down to several factors which include the continued growth of online shopping, rising labour costs, increasing business rates in relative terms against sales and profitability and a drop-in consumer spending in the “high street” coupled with an over reached food and beverage sector. The Big Squeeze UK stores are disappearing from high streets at a rapid pace as consumers’ changing behaviours means they’re increasingly shifting from shopping in-store to online.
