  • Salcombe Conservation Area Appraisal Adopted 2010
    Salcombe Conservation Area Appraisal Conservation Areas are usually located in the older parts of our towns and villages. They are places whose surviving historic, architectural and locally distinctive features make them special. Conservation area designation highlights the need to preserve and reinforce these qualities. The policies followed by the District Council when assessing proposals affecting conservation areas are set out in the South Hams Local Plan and Local Development Framework, while the Supplementary Planning Document ‘New Work in Conservation Areas’ explains how to achieve compliance with them. This is essential because the Council has a statutory duty to approve proposals only if they “preserve or enhance the character or appearance” of the conservation area. The purpose of this appraisal is to set out what makes the Salcombe Conservation Area special, what needs to be conserved and what needs to be improved. Adopted February 2010 Salcombe Introduction Salcombe is the southernmost town in the county of The Conservation Area was first designated in 1973 (later Devon, situated at the very end of the A381 spinal road, amended:1985 and 1998) and comprises the waterfront on the edge of the Salcombe/Kingsbridge Estuary. town’s historic core and close perimeter roads containing Otherwise, the only access to this isolated town is a later Victorian villas.

  • South Devon Estuaries Environmental Management Plan 2018 – 2024
    South Devon Estuaries Environmental Management Plan 2018 – 2024 Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty www.southdevonaonb.org.uk 1 South Devon Estuaries Key facts The AONB contains the five estuaries of the Yealm, Erme, Avon, Salcombe-Kingsbridge and Dart. The far west is bordered by Plymouth Sound. They are a defining feature of the South Devon AONB. All are ria-type estuaries, drowned river valleys, formed by the eroding action of rivers carving through the surface geology and flooding to their present geography towards the end of the last Ice Age. The Salcombe-Kingsbridge estuary is a classic dendritic-ria with its many finger-like ria-formed creeks. All of our estuaries are unique in their own ways and range from the highly freshwater dominated Dart estuary to the highly seawater dominated Salcombe- Kingsbridge estuary – some describing it as a tidal marine inlet. Being ria-formed, they tend to be deep watered and have become important and popular ports and water-based recreation designations; they range from the small privately owned Erme estuary that does fully drain at low tide to the more cosmopolitan Dart estuary that attracts some of the world’s largest cruise liners. All of our estuaries still retain large areas of relatively unspoilt and undeveloped bed, foreshore and shoreline but with their considerable history of human use and harvesting, none can be described as being completely natural or unspoilt. However, they supply considerable ‘ecosystem services’ to the local natural beauty and communities and several are formally designated and protected in recognition of their rich and diverse natural history.

Received 1 February 2007; Revised 23 June 2007; Accepted 16 July 2007 ABSTRACT: Previous sea-level studies suggest that southwest Britain has the fastest subsiding coastline in the United Kingdom, but tide-gauge data, GPS and gravity measurements and geophysical models show little evidence of anomalous subsidence in this region. In this paper we present 15 new sea-level index points from four coastal barrier systems in south Devon. Eight are from compaction-free basal sediments and others were corrected for autocompaction. Our data suggest that relative sea level along the south Devon coastline has risen by 21 Æ 4 m during the past 9000 years.

  • Breaking New Ground in Creation of Ecological Market Town
    14 September 2017 CASE STUDY BREAKING NEW GROUND IN CREATION OF ECOLOGICAL MARKET TOWN Ambitious modern development has seen large diameter plastic pipes successfully used for vital sewerage system components Current trends in the construction industry towards offsite build and modular construction are enabling large diameter high density polyethylene (HDPE) structured wall products to lead the way in designing and delivering best value solutions. These products are helping solve complex design issues that might otherwise cause additional costs or programme delays and ultimately affect the ability to deliver major projects within budget and on time. The new town of Sherford in the South Hams, Devon, has 5,500 homes, four schools and over 80,000m² of employment and retail space, and is located 28 miles to the east of Plymouth, equidistant between Dartmoor and the south Devon coast. Construction of the new town began in September 2014 following a prolonged 15-year planning phase, with 700 homes completed and habitable by September 2016. The first residents moved in during May 2017. The project was delivered by Red Tree, the project founder and a consortium of housebuilders including Taylor Wimpey, Linden Homes and Bovis Homes. It is the aspiration of Red Tree that Sherford will be viewed in years to come as one of the West Country’s most admired market towns; one that has the feeling of being centuries in the making, but developed with responsible 21st century practices in mind, including affordable housing and the implementation of renewable energy. And green practices are very much a focus for developers, Red Tree, who have claimed that Sherford will be the most green and sustainable new town in the country, conceived with a minimised carbon footprint in mind.
