Supporting Paper A Planning and Licensing Committee 17 December 2020 Agenda Item 5 East Devon District Council are developing an extensive country park along the River Culm from Topsham to Killerton. This includes Ashclyst Forest, Danes Hill woodland, Broadclyst, Wimple and the parkland around Killerton. I provide information on this project for everyone. I wonder how this project links with the Garden Village Project. I have seen no reference to this EAST DEVON CULM Valley project in any GV meetings. East Devon plan to make connections through cycle trails from Topsham to Killerton, Exeter to Killerton and Cranbrook to Killerton. Ashclyst Forest, Danes Hill and Killerton are all near Cullompton. Many members of t he public walk in these areas. It’s about 3 miles from Cranbrook to As hclyst Forest and about 5 miles from the Honiton Road to Ashclyst Forest. From the Garden Village it could be as little as 3 miles at the south end. It’s just over 4 mile s from Cullompton to Killerton. Clearly the Garden Village is going to want to link to these woodland recreational routes as is Cullompton. I feel that although this is an East Devon project much of the recreation areas and woodland walks are in close proximity to the Parish of Cullompton and used by the public of Cullompton. Cullompton Town Council may wish to also make a comment to MDDC; E.g. Will MDDC develop cycle trail links from Cullompton and the Garden Village to Killerton and Ashclyst Forest. Will MDDC develop a cycle link from Cullompton that would enable a cycle route from Cullompton to Exeter? There may also be ideas within the East Devon Project Plan that could be used in the Garden Village. Attached is the East Devon leaflet, below is the link to the video and the East Devon website with consultation documents. This is clearly a big long term East Devon project.

The Coronavirus pandemic has been a stark reminder of the importance of spending time outdoors to our health and wellbeing. I encourage you to send in your comments during the eight week consultation, after which we will carefully consider each one and a revised plan will be presented at a public meeting. Devon is well-known for its countryside with national parks, areas of outstanding natural beauty, estuaries and beautiful coastline. But there is greater pressure than ever on these stunning locations. With a growing population, it is necessary to provide much-needed homes, jobs and infrastructure. As more people explore the countryside, it is imperative that we protect and enhance our green spaces because getting active outdoors keeps us healthy and happy, plus the countryside can help us address climate change by storing carbon and water, as we work towards becoming carbon neutral by 2040. The Clyst Valley Regional Park will play a valuable role in providing new open spaces near major growth areas. The idea for a Regional Park was included in the East Devon District Council Local Plan in 2016: Strategy 10 - Green Infrastructure in East Devon's West End will ensure that the new town of Cranbrook and developments close to Exeter are provided with large scale, high quality greenspace.
