Shaped by the local community - this is your plan and I hope you will support it. This plan and the attached Policies set out how YOU, as a community, wish to see the Parish change and develop over the next 17 years. We know that this is a great place to live and work. Our aim is to make it even better by guiding and shaping this change, encouraging development where necessary, protecting our heritage and environment when needed and making our neighbourhood an even better place both now and for future generations. This Plan has only been possible as a result of the enormous contribution from residents and volunteers. You (and they) have played a pivotal role in shaping and supporting the Neighbourhood Plan so that it focuses on those matters which you have identified as being most important to you. Thank you to all of you who have contributed to the preparation of the plan. In particular: the Parish Council, RYDA and Revelstoke Trust for their funding, topped up by Locality; the Steering Group consisting of 5 Parish Councillors and 5 independent volunteers; our 6 Working Groups and their Co-ordinator Fleur Holt, Peter Johnson, Mike Longhurst and Terry Edgson for the wonderful pictures they have provided for us and finally our Consultant Lee Bray, who has helped us put all this work together. An impressive team working for you! Alison Ansell Chair of Newton and Noss Parish Council Page | 2 The Parish of Newton and Noss Page | 3 1.

The plan covers the whole of the Parish as seen in the map on page 3. This area was approved by South Hams District Council in June 2014. The plan deals with the Conservation Areas and villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo in some detail and sets out policies which will apply across the whole of the Parish.

The estate of Membland and the manor of Newton, with its 16 farmsteads, make it into the Domesday Book of 1086 and by 1160 Ralph Ferrers was established at Newton and it was he who gave it the family name. By 1200 most of the boundaries, fields, tracks, and the general farming pattern had been established and they remained largely untouched until the end of the 19th century. The land at Puslinch was given by one of the Ferrers to the De Pustlinch family and by 1300 Puslinch was large enough to become a sub-manor, thereby establishing two manors within the parish of Newton. It passed to the Yonges in 1710 and their descendants still own the property today. The first record we have of the Parish of Stoke is in 1198 when Richard Revel was the lord of Stoke and gave it the name of Revelstoke. In 1226 the church of St Peter's on the cliffs at Stoke was built - partially ruined it still stands today. In 1287 King Edward I gave Mathew Fitzjohn the manor of Stok and it is from the name Mathew that Noss Mayo derived its name, from the French ‘Nez de Mathieu’. Major changes came to Noss after 1877, when Edward Baring, the 1st Lord Revelstoke bought the Membland Estate. In just 18 years he transformed the Estate. The Baring romantic style is visible in many of the listed buildings.
