    Al160207osa Market Coastal Towns

    EEC/07/63/HQ Environment, Economy and Culture Overview/Scrutiny Committee 5 March 2007 Market and Coastal Towns Report of the Director of Environment, Economy and Culture 1. Summary In January 2006, members received a report on the draft Devon Sites and Premises Strategy and as a result expressed concern about the shortage of premises for smaller businesses. It was resolved that a further report be submitted, which covered economic development issues relating to Market Towns, including the availability of sites for relocation of small businesses and the Market and Coastal Town initiative (MCTi). This report concentrates on work undertaken in association with the MCTi pending further analysis of specific matters relevant to business premises. 2. Background In the South West, the MCTi commenced in 2000 and was led by the Regional Development Agency, Countryside Agency and English Heritage, with support from many other bodies. The scheme received greater emphasis following the incidence of Foot and Mouth Disease and a number of towns adversely affected were included in the programme. Since October 2004, delivery of the initiative has been charged to the Market and Coastal Towns Association (MCTA). This is an independent organisation largely funded by the Regional Development Agency, English Heritage and Big Lottery Fund. The initiative is a community based regeneration programme focusing on the preparation, by local people, of a long term Community Strategic Plan covering the social, economic, environmental and cultural features of their town and its hinterland. The MCTA delivers capacity building support to communities, enabling them to prepare the plans and develop their skills and organisational capacity while sharing good practice with others.

I am indebted to Andy Powell for locating many of the reference sources referred to below, and in providing valuable historical assistance to progress this research to its conclusions. In the main Statement of Significance Report, the history of the buildings was researched as far as possible in an attempt to assess their Heritage Value, with a view to the owners making a decision on the future of these historic Bideford properties.

  • Our Plan’, a New Strategic Plan for West Devon

    Our Plan’, a New Strategic Plan for West Devon

    Shaping our communities to 2031 Regulation 19 Publication Version February 2015 West Devon - A Leading Rural Council Foreword Welcome to ‘Our Plan’, a new strategic plan for West Devon. Whilst the Core Strategy was a plan for future growth and development to take us from 2006 to 2026, since it was written planning policy has undergone some significant changes as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and we need to ensure our plans are fit for purpose and in conformity with this national policy. This new plan also has to cover a wider range of issues that go beyond traditional planning policy and it makes more sense to write a new plan rather than try and amend the existing ones. Therefore, ‘Our Plan’ will be the overarching strategic plan for the Borough of West Devon up to 2031. Developing a new plan is always challenging and it is often controversial with different sectors and individuals in our communities understandably seeing things from their own view point. However, we need to remember that we are planning for the communities of tomorrow not just for ourselves today. What we do now will have a significant impact on how people live their lives in West Devon in the future. Our biggest challenge is enabling growth and providing much needed homes and jobs whilst, at the same time, protecting the beautiful place that is West Devon - no mean feat as I’m sure you can appreciate. To do this we have gathered and considered evidence about local need and the views and comments shared by you and a wide range of partners during the process have helped us to shape a plan that we believe takes account of local needs and aspirations.
