  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M11 - CHURCHSTOKE Introduction 1. The community of Churchstoke lies in the south-eastern corner of Montgomeryshire, in a prominent salient in the county and national boundary. That part of the community which formed the historic township of Weston Madoc, is detached from the main extent of the community, and most of the houses in that area would lie nearer to the key settlement of Montgomery. Much of the vale landscape of this community is defined by the confluence of the many streams that come together to form the Camlad river. Even so, to the south the landscape rises steeply to the Kerry Ridgeway, and to the north to one of the high points in this area, Corndon Hill. Settlement is scattered through the vale, and focuses on the key settlement of Churchstoke. However, the landscape, and distinctive mining and quarrying traditions from the past, set much of the area around Corndon Hill - including Hyssington and White Grit - apart. This dichotomy has been reflected in the warding arrangement of this community. 2. The key settlement in this community is Churchstoke which has a good range of important community services and facilities and the capacity to accommodate additional development. Hyssington, the next settlement in size in the community, is, owing to severe constraints on development, defined as a rural settlement in the Unitary Development Plan. White Grit, a dispersed village that comprises three main clusters of properties, has been defined as a small village in the Plan. The community also has a number of other rural settlements: Bacheldre, Cwm, Mellington, Old Churchstoke, Pentre (Churchstoke) and Pentrenant.

It offers a diverse range of scenery: from the lakes and rolling pasturelands around Ellesmere in the north, to the gaunt moorlands of the Clee Hills, with their stark industrial ruins, in the south; the densely wooded scarps of Wenlock Edge; or the straight, sandy lanes of the north-eastern heathlands, with their large arable fields and ‘big skys’.
