SSDC -LA100019471 -2004 "The Ordnance Survey mapping included within this publication is provided by South Somerset DC under licence from the Ordnance Survey in order to fulfil its public function to assist in the production of Parish Plans. Persons viewing this mapping should contact Ordance Survey copyright for advice where they wish to licence Ordnance Survey mapping for their own )) use. East Coker parish lies south of Yeovil and is primarily rural. The land comprises a mix of arable and mid-scale fields (a significant proportion being grade I), within an ordered hedgerow pattern threaded by narrow, part-sunken roads. To the south-west it rises to the scarp of Coker Hill. The parish contains much wildlife interest including Coker stream and a number of semi- rural woodland sites. Parkland and domestic tree cover are a marked feature of the area. The parish contains the settlements of Burton, East Coker, Nash, North Coker and a small part of urban Yeovil. The character of the parish is particularly unspolit, with a high proportion of listed golden hamstone houses, and its street scene enhanced by fine mature trees. It was once famous for its sailcloth and is the birthplace of the explorer William Dampier who was navigator aboard the ship that rescued Alexander Selkirk on whom the story of Robinson Crusoe is based. St. Michael's church, which contains a fine memorial brass to Dampier, is also the resting place for the ashes of the poet T. S. Eliot whose poem East Coker formed part of his Four Quartets. Coker Court alongside the church dates from the 15th century, with later additions. A row of almshouses, founded in 1640 by Archdeacon Helyar, lines the driveway to the church and Court Archaeological interests include an important group of Roman villas that had fine mosaic pavements, one of which is displayed in the county museum in Taunton, Iron Age finds and deserted mediaeval site. The Parish Plan is part of a new approach to Community Planning. The object of this Plan is to enable everyone within our community in East Coker to have a say in how our parish should develop. The Plan enshrines these views, seeking to preserve, enhance and develop our parish with a view to maintaining our prosperity and quality of life. All households in the parish of East Coker received a copy in September 2004 of the East Coker Parish Plan Questionnaire and were asked to fill it in and add comments and suggestions as relevant. 'he numbers of questionnaires distributed, and returned, are as shown in the table below, Well-attended all-day meetings were held in the village hall during which further ideas, comments and information were forthcoming. This booklet shows how we appreciate and enjoy living in East Coker and outlines the findings, suggestions and follow-up actions that have arisen as a result of the questionnaire. Now is the opportunity for all of us to bring these about. Actions By far the largest number of people fall in the 41- 70 age range and the greatest number of households consist of a couple (more than all other categories added together). While it is recognised that some people see the need for young families, none-the-less it seems true to say that the parish has a thriving social life and supports two pubs and shops, and businesses. Many young people initially leave home in search of pastures new before returning to their home towns. There are numerous clubs for young people although it is accepted that teenagers have no specific place to go. We should recognise that an ageing population is not necessarily a liability, but an opportunity to provide services that are not always available elsewhere. Male & Female Age Distribution .Male. Female 70 60 50 40 30 !0 10 6-11 12-16 17-20 21-30 31-40 41-50 51-60 61-65 66-70 71-75 75-80 80-89 90+ age group From all the responses, only 57 households within the parish have children in full-time education and of those some are at university. [The questionnaire did not specify that we were more interested in the use of local primary and secondary schools. ] Playschool There are 19 children under 5, of whom only 3 go to the playschool. Only one person said that they could not send a child there because of lack of places. Six people find the current facilities satisfactory as against 9 who do not. However, all comments made regarding the pavilion's deficiencies are being addressed, as a new pavilion is planned and fund-raising activities are taking place. Primary Schooling 33 children from the parish attend East Coker Primary School, out of a total of 256; others go to St Gilda's, Preston, Birchfield, Park School and Chilton Cantelo. Only two people had any difficulty getting children into East Coker Primary School because of a lack of places. 80% of people think the links between the school and the village are satisfactory, although there was a request for some after-school activities. The method of transport to school varies depending on the area where the children live; those from WraxhiU, Nash and Helena Road areas mostly use cars although some from North Coker itself also come by car. Otherwise most walk to school (accompanied by parents), none cycle and three use a bus. Of the East Coker Primary School pupils, a large number come from outside the parish by car. The school has a role of 256 and is expected to expand to 260+ in September 2005. Reasons given for not walking or cycling all relate to dangers of the roads: no pavements, narrow roads and speeding cars. Strongly-worded comments related to the ineffectiveness of the white-line walk-way from Tellis Cross to the school: cars park over the white line forcing children to walk in the road, cars and coaches fail to give way, two cars passing each other encroach onto the walking area affording no refuge for the children. Seealso 'Transport and Roads'. Action Arrange a meeting with the Highway Authority to discuss the concerns raised. Write to the school transport officer at County Hall regarding school travel plan for East Coker Primary School. SecondarySchooling Children from the parish attend a wide range of secondary schools: Westfield, Park School, Buckler's Mead, Chilton Cantelo, Gryphon at Sherborne, Sherborne Girls' and Yeovil College, all of which are outside the parish. Everyone had been able to place their child in the school they wanted. Although 19 families knew the school of their choice has a specialist curriculum, most did not say what it is (although 73% said it is what they wanted) and 86% think the school which their children attend is suitable. All secondary school age children get to school by car (45%) or bus (55%). None walk or cycle. There was one comment that bus is expensive. Adult Education 96% of people said they did not attend courses in the village hall, but a large number of comments made it clear that people didn't know about them but would like to. Courses that people would like offered included: crafts such as pottery and stained glass, cycle maintenance, first aid, French, geology of regional interest, German, Italian, local history. Interest was expressed in evening classesbeing held in the village rather than in Yeovil or Crewkerne. Activities Of all the activities on offer, the Wine Circle, East Coker Society and the Garden Club were clearly the most popular, with skittles and the British Legion following. The greatest numbe participants is from Burton and the fewest from Tellis Cross. Only 30 households expressed interest in an allotment, 266 definitely not. Suggested activities not currently available include: Art/sketching classes;art and science group; ballroom dancing/folk dancing/Scottish dancing; bridge; computer classes;fishing/hunting; flower arranging; genealogy; keep fit for men/slimming; kickboxing; local history, seealso 'Adult Education' under 'Education'; natural history/birdwatching; photographic club; rural crafts; tennis/bowling green/clay pigeon shooting/golf/croquet; walking/rambling /running. Action Discussions to take place between the Parish Council and South Somerset Countryside Service with a view to publishing an up-to-date parish footpaths map showing all roads and field boundaries. Consider having large-scale laminated maps of the parish near the North Coker bus shelter, and at West Wells. Collate and publish a directory of activities and clubs. Allotments: bring this potential need to the notice of the Parish Council. Reasons given for not taking part in leisure activities were: old age; times of day of some of the activities don't allow for working people. A few comments indicated that the activities were more suitable for older retired parishioners; others that younger people were not catered for, se 'Youth Survey'. Comments were made that events such as the recent cycle rides and the Queen's Jubilee celebrations were well organised and very enjoyable. Religious Services 43% of respondees said that they attend religious services of one of the sects in the parish. 74% said they felt that the parish church is a focal point in the parish. Businessesand Facilities For a community of 795 houses, East Coker has a large number of businesses including nine farms, six gardening and livery concerns, seven engineering businesses and six dealing with aspects of the motor trade. Five companies are involved with construction and five people provide a range of services from upholstery to hairdressing.

  • East Coker Parish Ward Profile
    Brympton Parish Profile 2016 1 Introduction Brympton Parish Council lies north west of Yeovil town centre. In 1870 – 72, John Marius Wilson’s Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Brympton like this:- “BRIMPTON, a parish in Yeovil district, Somerset; adjacent to the Yeovil and Exeter railway, 2 miles W by S of Yeovil. It includes the hamlets of Alvington and Houndstone; and its post town is Yeovil. Acres 465. Real property, with Hestcome, £3,014. Pop 135. Houses 24. The property is much subdivided. The manor once belonged to the Sydenhams; and Brimpton House now belongs to the Earl of Westmoreland. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Bath and Wells. Value £170* Patron, Mrs E Morris. The church is good.” In the last published census figures of 2011, there was a population in Brympton of 7,308 and the number of dwellings are 3,078. There is currently a large housing development being built at Lufton (696 dwellings). Brympton also plays a significant role economically with 297 businesses registered in the parish as at 1st October 2016. The parish is also fortunate to have the privately owned Brympton D’Evercy estate in their area. This is mainly used for a wedding and reception venue. The house dates from 1350. Over the last few years, Dr James Gerrard, School of History, Classics and Archaeology of Newcastle University has been carrying out excavations Lufton, which have revealed occupation from the Iron Age to the Medieval periods. The most recent excavations suggest that there was a substantial third century building that was replaced by a villa in the fourth century.

  • South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review
    South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review The Potential for Rural Settlements to be Designated ‘Villages’ November 2018 Contents Page 1 Introduction 1 2 Context 1 3 Methodology 3 4 Settlement Appraisal 13 5 Conclusions 23 Appendix 1 - Complete list of Rural Settlements in the District subject to this Appraisal 24 Appendix 2 - Settlement Maps; Constraints and Community Service Locations 25 Appendix 3 – Location Map of Settlements 58 1. Introduction 1.1 This paper considers the suitability of the District’s many Rural Settlements for growth. The current Local Plan does not allocate housing and employment to specific villages, seeking to direct most development to Yeovil, the Market Towns and Rural Centres. However, new housing has been delivered in the Rural Settlements far in excess of what the Local Plan anticipated; and similarly, new commercial buildings have, in the main, been provided away from the established employment locations and sites allocated for that purpose. Rather than continue with this somewhat arbitrary situation, the Review of the Local Plan offers the opportunity to look again at the various smaller settlements around the District to ascertain which might offer the best and most sustainable locations for limited growth and possible designation as ‘Villages’. 1.2 The Review of the Local Plan has also resulted in the potential removal of the role of ‘Rural Centre’ from Stoke sub Hamdon. This is because the settlement has many constraints and the number of commercial outlets in the centre is relatively restricted. It could instead be designated a ‘Village’ in recognition of its size and numbers of other facilities relative to the remaining Rural Settlements.
