The report presents a profile of Bideford that provides information and comment on such matters as: housing growth and needs, economic activity, service provision and infrastructure capacity, environmental considerations and development opportunities and constraints. It is through the examination of such matters that informed decisions will be enabled in relation to how best to accommodate the town’s future needs. 1.2 The purpose of the report is to support community focused consultation related to the North Devon and Torridge Joint Core Strategy. The Core Strategy being the first of the Local Development Framework Development Plan Documents prepared by North Devon and Torridge District Councils. It is the most important document in determining how the area will evolve. Through the Core Strategy direction will be given to guide the location, form and scale of development that is required to achieve sustainable growth that will meet the areas long term needs. 1.3 It is essential that local aspirations are reflected through the Core Strategy’s vision and objectives. Through undertaking additional town focused consultation it is hoped that locally relevant and supported visions can be established for the towns of northern Devon. Figure 1 Bideford Long Bridge Source: Torridge District Council 2 Overview 2.1 Bideford is a medieval market town straddling the River Torridge. It is supported by good highway access from the Atlantic Highway / A39, offering good connections to Bude and North Cornwall in the south and Barnstaple in the North. Bideford Town Study 5 Bideford Town Study 2.2 Bideford is well known for its Pannier Market, the historic Long Bridge that connects East-the-Water with the town centre of Bideford, the port and narrow streets that help define the character of the town. All services expected in a market town, such as shops, industry, schools, health etc, are readily available. Population 2.3 The town has grown steadily over the last 20 years, with development occurring in locations all around Bideford, significantly at: Grenville Ridge, Londonderry, Eastridge View, Ayers Close and ongoing development adjoining Manteo Way at East-the-Water. The parish population has increased by 31% over the period 1991 to 2010, providing an annualised increase of about 214 persons per year. In 1991 the population of Bideford was 13,006 residents rising to 15,000 in 2001 with a projected level of 17,070 in 2010. The rate of population growth being greatest over the period 2001 to 2010. 2.4 From 2001 to 2010 the population of Bideford increased by 2,070 people representing a 13.8% increase overall. This rate of increase was greater than that experienced in other Torridge towns (Holsworthy, Great Torrington and Northam), the District and Devon as a whole. The changes in population are shown in Table 1. 2.5 The age distribution within the Bideford population presents a range of variances from the wider geographic areas presented in Table 1. The proportion of the Bideford population within the younger age bands 0-19 and 20-39 is significantly higher than for other towns in the district and Torridge as a whole. The proportion within the 40-59 year age band is generally comparable, however within the older age bands, 60–79 and 80+, the proportion of Bideford populations is significantly lower than the Torridge average and lower than that at the county level.

In 2008, 19% of the population in the South West was estimated to be 65 years and older. By 2033 more than a quarter of the population of the South West will be 65 years and over. The population in Torridge District already exceeds these levels(1), although in Bideford the current population has not yet reached the high rates anticipated for 2033. 2.7 The population of Bideford / Northam is projected to increase by 4,874 people (2), 2006 - 2021, an increase of 13.2%. Income 2.8 Average household incomes in Torridge are the lowest of any Devon District. At £24,958 (2009), the average household income within Torridge was £2,015 (8%) below the Devon average. The average household income in Bideford is £23,448, which is £1,510 (6%) below the district average and correspondingly £3,525 (13%) below the county average. As illustrated in Table 2 there is however a variance in household incomes across the three town wards of approximately 8%. 2.9 Table 2 illustrates geographic variance in average household incomes and the proportion of those households with incomes below £15,000 and £20,000. Residents in Bideford North, Bideford South and Bideford East had income levels well below those of both the district and county levels.
