Pedlar Departure: N EIA Development: Y EIA C onclusion: An environment statement has been submitted. Decision Level/Reason for Report to Committee/Ward member call-in Committee (If Applicable) : (See main body of report). Site Description The site description is taken from the submitted Environmental Statement: The Site is located in the open countryside to the east of Woolacombe, to the south of Bradwell Road, which connects to the B3343 Georgeham Road at its western end and the A361 at its eastern end in Dean Cross. It lies at the head of an east facing valley which extends towards West Down and Fullabrook Down. The Site (which comprises two areas separated by Bradwell Road) previously contained a farmhouse and barns, but was developed into a holiday village, golf course and leisure facilities in stages from the 1980’s onwards. The Site occupies an area of approximately 40.5ha. It is accessed from Willingcott Hill, which is located to the south of the Site. 73 holiday homes together with a clubhouse for the former golf course and an outdoor swimming pool, access roads and car parking currently occupy the north western portion of the Site. The Site forms a self-contained and distinct ‘village’. The central/eastern area of the Site contains a number of linked ponds and the remnants of the 18-hole golf course which is currently closed and is overgrown. The northern area beyond Bradwell Road also contains the remnants of part of the golf course with a number of holes. There is no development on the northern Site area. The golf course ceased operating in early 2016 following a prolonged period of trading at a loss. This leisure use remains the current Land Use. The existing built form comprises a mixture of single storey, two and two and a half storey buildings, some in stone and others in a mixture of stone and white render. There are some groups of semi mature trees and a number of individual trees in and around the built development. There are also some lines and small groups of trees (many of them evergreen) dividing the fairways of the golf course. Outside the area of existing buildings, the Site retains an open character and is made up of managed grassland and open water bodies. A cutting of the former London and South Western Railway (Ilfracombe to Barnstaple) runs north west to south east through the Site. North Devon Council proposes to reuse this cutting as a cycle trail which would be an extension to the Tarka Trail. This proposed route of this trail through the Site is shown on the Proposals Map of the adopted North Devon and Torridge Local Plan. No Public Rights of Way are currently present within the Site or on the boundary. The nearest footpath is Mortehoe Bridleway 4 to the west which follows Harnall’s Lane. The Site is not subject to any statutory landscape designation, although it is located in close proximity to the eastern edge of the North Devon AONB. The landscape character of the Site is considered to be of no higher than of local importance and is not considered to be a "valued landscape" for the purposes of the Framework. Beyond the Site the primary land use is agricultural. The Golden Coast Holiday Village and Willingcott Caravan and Motorhome Club site lie to the north west of the Site in Ossaborough.

  • Construction of a Trail, Buttercombe Barton to Spreacombe Bridge, West
    PTE/18/4 Development Management Committee 24 January 2018 County Council Development North Devon District: Construction of a trail, Buttercombe Barton to Spreacombe Bridge, West Down, Ilfracombe Applicant: Devon County Council Application No: 61086 Date application received by Devon County Council: 20 April 2016 Report of the Chief Planner Please note that the following recommendation is subject to consideration and determination by the Committee before taking effect. Recommendation: It is recommended that planning permission is granted subject to the conditions set out in Appendix I of this report (with any subsequent changes to the conditions being agreed in consultation with the Chair and Local Member). 1. Summary 1.1 This report relates to a planning application for the construction of an off-road trail between Buttercombe Barton and Spreacombe Bridge, located between Ilfracombe and Braunton. 1.2 It is considered that the main material planning considerations in the determination of this application are the impacts of the development on the amenity of adjoining neighbours; impacts on nature conservation interests; highway safety matters; and the benefits of the proposal in terms of economy and sustainability. 2. The Proposal/Background 2.1 The application site extends approximately 3km from Buttercombe Barton, which is 5km south of Ilfracombe, to Spreacombe Bridge, 3km north of Braunton, and seeks to connect to previously consented developments that will link Buttercombe Lane to Willingcott and Spreacombe Bridge to Knowle. This proposal will provide the final off-road connection to connect Ilfracombe with the wider strategic cycle route, the Tarka Trail, which extends through to Braunton, Barnstaple and Bideford.

  • Minutes of the West Down Parish Council Meeting
    MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF WEST DOWN PARISH COUNCIL HELD AT WEST DOWN PARISH HALL ON 7th AUGUST 2019. Present: Cllr C King (Chairman), DCllr Wilkinson, Cllrs K Oades, M Reeves, S Squire, S Ayre and R Watts. The Chair opened the meeting at 7:30pm with apologies from CCllr A Davis and Cllr R Drew. 3979. Public Speaking. Requests were made by 3 members of the public with regard to planning 66753 - One dwelling in garden of Churchill House. Mr Guy Lawrence said he objected to the plans because due to the height difference it would need 1½ metres to be backfilled against his property. There would also be a hedge lost. Additionally, the car parking would lead to fumes entering his property through the vents and air bricks that are ground level outside but ceiling level in his kitchen. He feels it is unnecessary development and would destroy the enjoyable space of the neighbouring properties. Mr Tom Harding said he objected to the plans because he feels it is to close and overbearing on the neighbouring properties. The plans show a lounge and bathroom window overlooking the garden of Churchill House were a young family currently live. He feels the build and the loss of the stone wall on the road side would take away the character of the area. He also has concerns about the root protection zone where they plan to build the soakaway. This will also mean that the soakaways of 3 properties will run into his garden which could be detrimental to his property.

    The view from Down St Mary 780 to 2014 DSM timeline © Roger Steer 780 The Saxons reach the Tamar. During the period of the Saxons, the natural forests of Devon are gradually cleared and most of the villages and settlements we take for granted in the countryside are established. 905 Bishop Putta is murdered – some say at the spot where Copplestone cross stands. 909 Diocese of Crediton created. 934-53 Bishop Ethelgar collects funds for the building of St Mary’s Minster at Crediton. 974 Copplestone Cross, at the junction of Down St Mary with two other parishes until 1992, is mentioned in a charter, but is much older than that. It is early Celtic interlaced work such as is not found elsewhere in England except in Northumbria. The cross gives a name to a once noted Devon family which comes in the local rhyme: Crocker, Cruwys, and Coplestone, When the Conqueror came were found at home. Eleventh Century 1018 Buckfast Abbey is founded under the patronage of King Canute. 1040 The Manor of Down(e) named after the Saxon settlement DUN meaning Hill, first recorded as being the gift of King Harthacnut.

Some of the glebe land in the manor originally formed part of the Devon estates of Harthacnut’s father, Canute, king of England 1016-35.) Tenure is granted to Aelfwein, Abbot of Buckfast in support of the ministry of the Abbey Church.
