In some of the most prized locations, price tag, the premium stands at over 100%. just add water Despite having thousands of miles of coastline and estuaries, the UK still has an under supply of waterfront properties. With more people wanting to live by our beaches and rivers than properties available, market forces have driven prices up significantly over the years. For some it’s a retirement choice – the lure of a quiet life fishing and messing about in boats. For others it’s a lifestyle change, swapping their home in the commuter belt for more space and a gentler pace of life. Then there are the second-homers. A waterside bolthole for the family can also be an excellent source of rental income. Whatever the motivation for buying next to the water, it seems estuary living is the most highly prized choice. Whereas the average uplift for waterfront properties is 51.5%, the figure for properties with estuary views is 78%. And if a home has direct access to water, its own pontoon or slipway, this can as much as double the asking price compared to similar properties without this all-important feature. So what is it that makes the estuary lifestyle so popular? It could be the generally sheltered position of such homes – away from the winds, waves and erosion of coastal areas. There’s also often the option to moor a boat close to if not right next to the property. The wildlife can also be a big draw, with the population of birds in particular changing dramatically with the ebb and flow of the tide. Whatever your interest in waterfront property – whether you are looking to sell or to buy – our team has a wealth of experience of advising on some of the local area’s finest coastal and estuary real estate. From harbourside apartments and riverside family homes to contemporary cliff-top properties, we have a long track record of bringing buyer and seller together.

    Devon County Council HTM/12/42 Report on Severe Weather Event 7 th July 2012 Synopsis On Friday 6 th July at 18:30 a RED warning was issued for the risk of severe disruption to Devon and Cornwall on Saturday 7 th July due to surface water and river flooding. This was an update to previous yellow and amber warnings issued earlier in the day. In the event, 45 to 90mm fell in parts of South Devon and 45-120mm fell in parts of East Devon according to the Environment Agency. Two severe flood warnings were issued for the River Yealm and the River Axe and a further 27 other flood warnings were issued, predominantly in South, Mid and East Devon. Current reports are suggesting that over 140 properties were affected by the flooding in Devon, but similar previous events suggest that this number will rise in time. Weather Radar 03:05 7 th July 2012 (courtesy of Meteogroup) Over 272 incidents were logged over the weekend the majority being on the Saturday morning after the main rainfall overnight on Friday. The Strategic Co-ordinating Group (Emergency services, local authorities, EA and Met Office) mobilised on Friday evening and Police Silver Control was active during Saturday to co-ordinate the multi-agency response. Further warnings are in place for potential further rain impacts on Wednesday to Friday, and these warnings are being carefully monitored – see overleaf. -1- Devon County Council DCC’s Flood Risk Management, Highways and Emergency Planning Teams are working closely with the District Councils and the Environment Agency to coordinate a full response.

  • 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.

The Marine Biological Association of the UK (MBA) chose the estuary and the parish of Newton and Noss to host its 10th BioBlitz, as part of a local initiative to celebrate the area’s wildlife. The Life on the Yealm initiative has involved providing training and activities for school children, teachers and the local community. Steered by the interests and aspirations of local residents, events have been organised by the MBA with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Yealm Waterside Homes, the Royal Society of Biology and Plymouth Radio. The Yealm BioBlitz, held on 13th & 14th July, was the focal point for the initiative, enabling participants of all levels of expertise and ages to take part in a wide range of fun, educational and scientific data collection activities, which helped to identify and record the wide range of species living in the area.

This programme is integrated with the effluent discharge compliance assessment programme, Samples are taken not only of a significant discharge but also of the receiving water immediately upstream of the discharge and at the edge of the mixing zone downstream of the discharge. The 1992 programme has several purposes, such as: - identifying any impact by the discharge on the receiving waters. - characterising upstream water quality. - providing a database against which change can be measured.

  • 1/11April2019………………………………………………………..Chairman
    MINUTES OF THE PARISH COUNCIL MEETING OF NEWTON & NOSS PARISH COUNCIL Held on 11 April 2019 PRESENT; MRS. ANSELL MR. COOPER MR. CARTER MR. INGRAM MR. LYNDON MS. ADAMS MR. ROGERS ALSO, PRESENT; Cllr. Hosking, Cllr. Baldry, 2 members of the public, Mrs. McDonough (Clerk). OPEN FORUM 1 Old Coastguard Cottages Wembury – representations were made by a neighbouring home owner in objection to the proposals under 2483/18/FUL & 2484/18/LBC. Copies of correspondence with the Georgian Society and to the applicant had been circulated to the Parish Council before the meeting. It was suggested that South Hams District Council should be noting the views of Newton & Noss Parish Council despite the property being in Wembury Parish. Reference was made to recent planning appeals mentioning the “valued landscape.” The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) referred to such landscapes being protected. The property was a very early Georgian coastguard station and boathouse - a listed historic asset in a largely unspoilt historic landscape. Under the NPPF any harm to such an asset would require justification. Access remained via the beach and steps for most of the day. The deck would only be capable of being accessed at high spring tides of 5.4 metres for a couple of hours - on 8 occasions this year. It could not be accessed at neap tides. Reference was made for use as dinghy storage. The outhaul was not fit for purpose. There was no justification for the planning proposals. Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo Parish Council Police Report February 2019 - PCSO Andrew Potter gave apologies for the Council meeting and had sent the following written report: Newton Ferrers 2nd common assault CR/019226/19 6th nuisance telephone calls CR/020306/19 16th common assault CR/023536/19 28th common assault CR/019226/19 Noss Mayo 1st offensive communication [text messages] CR/018591/19 50/19 APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE - there were apologies from Cllr.
