This proposal involves a large number of houses of which some will be ‘affordable’, light industrial units, and playing fields. This proposal was rejected by the Planning Committee of East Devon District Council but the developers have appealed, and have also put in a further planning application which repeats the proposals from the earlier one, with minor modifications. Our objections, which have been submitted to EDDC, are: (1) The development is in excess of Seaton’s housing needs, at least some of which could be filled by the development of the uncontroversial regeneration area beside Tesco. (2) The development encroaches heavily on the Green Wedge that currently separates Seaton and Colyford. (3) The area to be developed is close to the Axe Estuary Wetlands and would affect the corridor that links Holyford Woods and the Wetlands; this corridor is used by several species of bat including the very rare Grey Long-eared Bat whose population in Britain is probably no more than 1000 individuals. Even if the corridor itself is not developed the light pollution from the development could well affect its use by bats. When the Society was founded, one of its main objectives was to discourage inappropriate development, and your Committee feels that spending money in this way is an appropriate use of Society funds. In an article in this newsletter, Martin Drake reports on the meeting of the East Devon District Council’s Planning Committee at which the first application was rejected unanimously by Councillors. However, as he points out, this was a battle won but the war continues − the developers can appeal (and have done), and there is also a provision under which the proposers of a rejected planning application can submit another within a year without an extra fee – which they have done. 1 Since my last message, the Sand Martin bank on the Wetlands has been completed. Sadly no Sand Martins took up residence this year but it is hoped that we may have better luck next year, when young birds, that may have roosted in the holes on their way south, return. Furthermore, by next spring the pool in front of the bank should have been completed which could well be an additional attraction. Our commitment to help the Devon Wildlife Trust with the purchase of an area of the Undercliffs National Nature Reserve below Rousdon has not been required because the Trust’s negotiations to purchase this site have fallen through. Our finances are therefore in an even healthier state than we expected. The Devon Wildlife Trust has been selected to operate the Discovery Centre planned for a site near the Tram terminus. This is an extremely exciting venture that should help to attract more visitors to Seaton and contribute to regeneration of the area. The plans for the centre have been approved, as has the first phase of Lottery funding to DWT. Both your Chairman and President are involved in Committees looking at how the Centre will operate, present itself, and engage and co-operate with other local organisations, including AVDCS and EDDC’s Countryside Service. As usual this number includes reports of excursions, including one led by Ian Waite to Ham Walls and Shapwick – a beautiful sunny day with many species of warbler in full song. Lesley and Peter Clarke tell of a trip to Lundy, also on a bright and sunny day (a bit of a contrast to my visit in May when the island was shrouded in mist and drizzle). Humphrey Sitters has contributed an article on Oystercatchers and how they feed. A pair bred successfully in 2013 on Black Hole Marsh, after trying three times without success in 2012. They can be seen most days on the Estuary. Phil Parr has a note on the Ivy Bee, a relatively recent colonist of this country whose burrows are a feature of sandy banks and cliffs near the sea in the sutumn. Another colonist, Himalayan Balsam, is the subject of a note by myself. Much money and volunteer effort is being spent in trying to eliminate this plant from the Axe catchment. 2 Oystercatchers at night Humphrey Sitters If you take a walk by the Axe Estuary by day at low tide, you can see waders, such as Curlews, Redshanks, Dunlins, Oystercatchers and Black-tailed Godwits, feeding on the mud. They are all feeding on intertidal invertebrates – worms, crabs, molluscs, crustaceans – but mostly they do not compete with one another because they each have a different feeding strategy and a different size bill. But then the tide comes in and they have to stop feeding and gather at a roosting site nearby until the tide ebbs and they can feed again. If you go to the same place at low tide at night, you cannot see the birds, but you can hear them. They appear to be active. But what are they doing? Are they feeding? If so, how successfully are they feeding? And how important is night-feeding to them in fulfilling their daily food requirement? These are questions that fascinated me so much that 20 years ago I decided to investigate them for a doctorate at Oxford University. I carried out my studies on the Exe Estuary, mostly from a scaffolding tower hide built in the middle of a mussel bed near Lympstone. My plan was to study the behaviour of Oystercatchers feeding on mussels by day and night using a video camera with infra- red illumination to record what the birds were doing in darkness. But even before I started my project, I knew that feeding at night was vitally important to Oystercatchers. It is one of the best studied birds in the world. Its daily food requirement has been calculated and given that studies have shown that they only ingest about a half of that by day, the other half must be taken at night. In fact the amount they can eat in a low-tide cycle is limited by the rate at which they can digest food. Like us, they can eat more quickly – about three times faster – than their digestive apparatus can process food. This means that while they are on the mussel-beds, they frequently have to stop feeding to let the food go down. It is also well known that individual Oystercatchers show a strong tendency to specialise on a particular type of prey; there are cockle- 3 feeders, mussel-feeders, worm-feeders, crab-feeders, etc. Among shellfish-feeders individuals have their own particular method of breaking the shell and gaining access to the flesh inside. Therefore some mussel-feeders look for mussels that are themselves feeding and have their shells apart; those birds then stab between the shells and cut the adductor muscle (the muscle that holds the shells together) by biting and then scoop out the flesh. We call those birds ‘stabbers’. I found that by day stabbers locate mussels that are gaping by sight; that is they walk across the mussel bed looking intently at the mussels; then suddenly they plunge their bill into a mussel and in next to no time they are eating the orange-yellow flesh. I found that at night they change to touch-location; they would walk very slowly jabbing their slightly- A Stabber stabbing opened bill in the water until they managed to hit a gaping mussel between the shells. In September, they were less successful at feeding at night, but success at night increased from autumn to winter and by December they fed more successfully at night than by day. I think (but cannot prove) that the reason is that mussels have to filter-feed (gape) longer in winter because the amount of their food in the water declines at that time of year; moreover they feed more at night than by day because it is safer from predators, such as gulls (but not Oystercatchers!). Then there are ‘ventral hammerers’. They detach a mussel from the ground; either by dragging it from the weed or stones to which it is attached, or by cutting the byssal thread (the means of attachment) by biting it. Then they usually take the mussel to a place where the ground is reasonably hard, turn it upside down and hammer a hole in the underside of the mussel (the ventral side) which is the thinnest part of the shell.

Neighbourhood Development Plans were introduced by the 2011 Localism Act, to give local people more say about the scale and nature of development in their area, within the context of both strategic planning policy in the National Planning Policy Framework 2012, and local plans – in our case, the adopted East Devon Local Plan 2013-2031. The Uplyme Neighbourhood Plan relates to the whole of the Parish and includes a wide range of topics: housing, employment, community facilities, transport, and the built and natural environment. The Plan will run until 2031 to coincide with the end date of the Local Plan, but may need to be reviewed before then. The Plan has been drafted by local people in the Uplyme Neighbourhood Plan Group, following extensive community consultation and engagement over a period of years, followed by an examination by an independent Planning Inspector. We believe that the plan represents a broad consensus of local opinion. Chris James Chair Uplyme Parish Council & Neighbourhood Plan Group July 2017 Dedication This Plan is dedicated to the memory of Peter Roy Whiting, former Chairman of both the Parish Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Group. Without his encyclopaedic technical knowledge of planning and civil engineering, his puckish wit, enthusiasm and dedication, the project would have struggled in its formative stage.

  • Excursion to Lyme Regis, Easter, 1906
    320 EXCURSION TO LYME REGIS, EASTER, 1906. pebbles and bed NO.3 seemed, however, to be below their place. The succession seemed, however,to be as above, and, if that be so, the beds below bed I are probably Bagshot Beds. "The pit at the lower level has been already noticed in our Proceedings; cj. H. W. Monckton and R. S. Herries 'On some Bagshot Pebble Beds and Pebble Gravel,' Proc. Ceol. Assoc., vol. xi, p. 13, at p. 22. The pit has been worked farther back, and the clay is now in consequence thicker. Less of the under­ lying sand is exposed than it was in June, 1888. "The casts of shells which occur in this sand were not abundant, but several were found by members of the party on a small heap of sand at the bottom of the pit." Similarly disturbed strata were again observed in the excavation for the new reservoir close by. A few minutes were then profitably spent in examining Fryerning Church, and its carved Twelfth Century font, etc. At the Spread Eagle a welcome tea awaited the party, which, after thanking the Director, returned by the 7.55 p.m. train to London.

  • X.—On the Chalk and Sands Beneath It {Usually Termed Green-Sand) in the Vicinity of Lyme Regis, Dorset, and Beer, Devon
    Downloaded from http://trn.lyellcollection.org/ at University of St Andrews on March 24, 2015 X.—On the Chalk and Sands beneath it {usually termed Green-sand) in the Vicinity of Lyme Regis, Dorset, and Beer, Devon. BY H. T. DE LA BECHE, ESQ. F.R., L. and G. S.S., ETC. [Read December 16th, 1825.] XN presenting' an account of the manner in which the above rocks occur in. the vicinity of Lyme Regis and Beer, I by no means wish to engage in the discussion which has arisen respecting Green-sand; but merely to describe the rocks, as they exist in that neighbourhood. At the same time, I consider it as much to be regretted, that some general term is not given to the sands, marls, and clays which occur beneath the Chalk, as has been done in the case of the Oolite formation: the various parts might then be distinguished by different specific names, and there would be no more impropriety in grouping the Green and Ferruginous sands together, than in uniting under one term the various members of the Oolite formation, and distinguishing them by the names of Great and Inferior oolite, Kimmeridge and Oxford clays*, &c. Some such arrangement as this would prevent much uncertainty: for at pre­ sent when the term Green-sand is used alone, without further distinction, we may be led to confound two different things. Moreover, we are in want of a general appellation by which to denote these rocks collectively; for we are not to suppose that all the small divisions that may be made in this collection of sands, marls, and clays in the east of England, can be traced into other and distant countries, where, however, the sands, &c., as a mass may be easily recognised.
