It represents one part of the Local Plan for the parish over the period 2019 to 2033, the other parts being the Mid Devon Core Strategy 2007, the Allocations and Infrastructure Development Plan Document 2010 and the Development Management Policies 2013. Mid Devon District Council (MDDC) is in the process of reviewing its Local Plan, which sets out a development strategy for the district up to 2033. Additionally East Devon, Exeter, Mid Devon and Teignbridge Councils are jointly preparing The Greater Exeter Strategic Plan, which will contain higher strategic policies. 1.2 As the local planning authority, MDDC designated a Neighbourhood Area for the whole of the Tiverton parish on 12 November 2018 to enable Tiverton Town Council to initiate the Plan. The Plan has been prepared by the community, led by the Tiverton Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group (the Steering Group) and associated Focus Groups. 1.3 The Plan is being prepared in accordance with the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Localism Act 2011 and the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended). The Steering Group has prepared the Plan to establish a framework for the future of the parish and to set out how that vision will be realised through planning land use and development change over the plan period 2019 to 2033. 1.4 The purpose of the Plan is to structure development within the parish and provide guidance to any interested parties wishing to submit planning applications for development within the parish. The process of producing the Plan has sought to involve the community as widely as possible and the different topic areas are reflective of matters that are of considerable importance to Tiverton parish, its residents, businesses and community groups. 1.5 Each section of the Plan covers a different topic. Under each heading there is the justification for the policies presented which provides the necessary understanding of the policy and what it is seeking to achieve. The policies themselves are presented in the blue boxes. It is these policies against which planning applications will be assessed. It is advisable that, in order to understand the full context for any individual policy, it is read in conjunction with the supporting text. In addition to the policies, a series of Aims have been identified during the process, which support the delivery of the vision and objectives. The Plan also sets out the Community Infrastructure Priorities for the parish. 1.6 Figure 1.1 below shows the boundary of the Tiverton Neighbourhood Plan designated area, which is contiguous with the boundary of Tiverton parish. TNP-SG-Draft Plan-v20200603.docx 4 Figure 1.1: Tiverton Neighbourhood Plan designated area The Planning Policy Context National Planning Policy 1.7 The Neighbourhood Plan must have regard to the policies set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), 2019. 1.8 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states at paragraphs 29 and 30: “Neighbourhood planning gives communities the power to develop a shared vision for their area. Neighbourhood plans can shape, direct and help to deliver sustainable development, by influencing local planning decisions as part of the statutory development plan. Neighbourhood plans should not promote

Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust.

  • Civilian Evacuation to Devon in the Second World War
    VOLUME 1 OF 2 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by S.J. HESS as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2006 CIVILIAN EVACUATION TO DEVON IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR Submitted by Susan Jane Hess, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, July 2006. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ………………………………………. 1 ABSTRACT Extensive sources have been reviewed and analysed to piece together for the first time a detailed academic study of civilian evacuation to Devon1 viewed against the national backdrop. The primary focus of this thesis is the large number of unaccompanied children who were officially evacuated to the County under the auspices of the Government Evacuation Scheme during the Second World War. However, Chapter Six discusses the evacuation of mothers and accompanying children, unofficial (private) evacuees and private school parties. The majority of evacuated children arriving in Devon originated from the London area and southeastern counties. In addition large numbers of children were also evacuated to the County from Bristol and within the County from Plymouth (Devon) during 1941 and briefly from Exeter in May 1942. Each of the three national evacuation waves is considered individually throughout the text as they are quite distinct in complexion, a fact frequently ignored in generalised accounts which tend to focus on reaction to the initial wave.
