Following the successful application to the national government’s Coastal Alliance Programme, the Porlock Vale Coastal Community Team was formed in 2017. It received a standard grant of £10,000. With a part of this the Porlock Vale Tourist website was developed and launched in 2019. Part of the balance has been used to commission this Porlock Vale Economic Plan which will be used as an addendum to the 2008 Porlock Parish Plan. Porlock Vale CCT joins two other funded CCT’s in the district in Watchet and Minehead. Porlock Vale is a vibrant and engaged community with significant activity for a small population. There is a range of interesting expertise which can be harnessed to better support the economic future of the Vale ensuring that it makes the most of the assets and opportunities.

ITE contributes to, and draws upon, the collective knowledge of the 14 sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man-made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. One quarter of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Department of Environment, the European Economic Community, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Overseas Development Administration.
