First Floor Offices, Cockington Court, Cockington, Torquay, TQ2 6XA The History of Cockington Second World War. The name Cockington is thought to derive from Saxon terms meaning either ‘the settlement near the springs’ or ‘the place of the red meadow’. Following the Norman Conquest, generations of three families were to control the destiny of the twin hamlets of Cockington and Chelston as Lords of the Manor. From 1130-1350 the lands were owned by the Fitzmartin family who took the surname De Cockington. It was the De Cockingtons, who, in 1196, allowed stone to be quarried from Corbyn Head to build Torre Abbey. On completion of the Abbey the monks were also granted access to water from Sherwell stream and the right to fish with nets at Livermead. In 1375 the property was sold to the Cary family who remained there, on and off, until 1654. Raising an army for Charles I, during the Civil War, proved expensive and heavy fines were incurred when Oliver Cromwell gained power. In order to pay his debts, Henry Cary sold Cockington and Chelston to Exeter goldsmith Roger Mallock. His grandson Rawlyn Mallock was a member of Parliament and one of the small band of peers who welcomed William of Orange when he landed at Brixham in 1688. In 1900, Cockington owner and former Torquay MP, Richard Mallock collapsed and died whilst on a cycling holiday in Scotland. Later that year, Chelston and Livermead became part of Torquay and Cockington Village until 1933, when the property was acquired by a Trust with the Cockington Court Estate coming under the control of Torquay Borough Council. After the Second World Was (1939-45), an ice-cream factory and café opened in the manor house as Cockington’s growing popularity with visitors confirmed its reputation as ‘the prettiest village in England’. Location Situated within just a mile of Torquay sea front historic Cockington Court is nestled within 460 acres of Country Park and is home to a growing number of skilled craftsman.

  • South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment
    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.

  • Neighbourhood Plan Chelston Cockington and Livermead
    Neighbourhood Plan Chelston Cockington and Livermead General Our Ward is a diverse mix of largely fully developed areas in Chelston and Livermead while open countryside/parkland and rural environment in Cockington. Chelston represents a contrast between the original Victorian developments of major houses/villas/ terraces interspaced with small park areas, and other more modern housing built in the 20th century. We have two conservation areas: in Chelston it encompasses the major Victorian area; while in Cockington an original family estate of manor house (Cockington Court), five farmsteads and ancient village is now a significant visitor attraction. We also have a large part of Occombe Farm within our Ward which is an organic demonstration farm, nature trail and visitor attraction. Our Ward also includes a stretch of coastline including Hollicombe, Livermead and Corbyn Head beaches. Livermead beach includes the remnants of the original harbour for Torre Abbey that could be considered for historic protection. Development Opportunities and Planning controls There is plenty to preserve and enhance in our Ward; while little scope to offer much in significant development opportunities other than the brown-field Hollicombe gas works site opposite Hollicombe Park. It had been suggested that The ‘Old Piggeries’ green-field site adjacent to Cockington Country Park was suitable for housing we believe it is unsuitable for this use due to its impact on the adjacent important rural landscape and should be used for an expansion of community allotments as an extension to the TCC Trust’s ethos or as an asset for Cockington Country Park Ring fence Cockington Country Park and Occombe Farm from green-field housing development or encroachment by visually obtrusive new developments on its borders.

  • Torbay Council Ward Boundary Review Submission to the Local
    Torbay Council ward boundary review Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England Torbay Constituency Conservative Association TORBAY BOUNDARY REVIEW SUBMISSION BY THE TORBAY CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION Torbay Borough Council currently consists of 36 councillors representing 15 wards, all of 2 or 3 members. Of these wards, 11 lie within the constituency of Torbay and 4 within the constituency of Totnes. Current proposals from the review of Parliamentary constituency boundaries retains Torbay constituency as it currently exists so the split between the two constituencies will continue for the foreseeable future. Torbay Conservative Association acts in partnership with Totnes Conservative Association but acts as the lead Association in matters concerning Torbay Unitary Authority and is making the submission encompassing the full Torbay Council area. In providing this submission the Association has considered the structure of communities in Torbay and has addressed issues regarding the overall ward structure. The Association is aware that many councillors from all parties across the Bay have submitted minor changes to ward boundaries based upon their detailed personal knowledge and that the Council have incorporated many of those into its submission. We have made no attempt to replicate the minor amendments but accept the validity of this detailed knowledge and the changes that would result from that information. THE THREE TOWNS IN TORBAY Torbay consists of three main towns, Torquay, Paignton and Brixham and it is reasonably easy to associate the few separate communities, such as Cockington, and Collaton St Mary as being associated most closely with one of these towns. Current wards can therefore easily be associated with one of the towns with the only exception being the Churston-with-Galmpton ward where the northern fringe of the ward abuts the Goodrington-with-Roselands ward in Paignton.
