This issue of Community News contains articles on:

Dartmoor National Park Local Development Framework

Planning involves change, and the planning system itself has been changed.  The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 gained Royal Assent in September 2004 and has restructured the way that development plans are prepared in England. The emphasis is on putting in place a positive and proactive process with sustainable development as the core principle underlying it all.

In the new system, Regional Planning Guidance, Structure Plans and Local Plans disappear, to be replaced, at the regional level, by Regional Spatial Strategies, and at the local level (district council/unitary authority/National Park) by Local Development Frameworks.  A Local Development Framework (LDF) is a set of documents that, taken together, forms the new local plan.

Within the Dartmoor National Park, the LDF will consist of:

A Local Development Scheme sets out the preparation programme for all these documents.

Apart from the Design Guidance, documents have to go through a public examination stage.  All the documents, except the Statement of Community Involvement, are also subject to sustainability appraisal, which looks at how far the policies contribute to the Government’s objectives for sustainable development and whether they will protect the environment.

The first two documents in the programme are the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) and the Core Strategy Development Plan Document (DPD). Work on these documents will begin in the near future.  The Authority hopes to publish a draft SCI towards the end of March.  This document provides the first opportunity for the general public to get involved in the new process.  Later in the year the Authority will be asking for public input on an ‘Issues and Options’ report for the Core Strategy DPD.

Conservation Award Winners Announced

The 2004 winners of the Dartmoor National Park Authority’s biannual Edward Morshead Award have been announced.  Mrs Sue Morshead and Bill Cann, Dartmoor National Park Authority Chairman, presented the Award at a ceremony, at Dartmoor National Park Authority’s Headquarters, on 3 March 2005.  The Award was made in recognition of significant contributions to National Park purposes, ie the protection, maintenance and enhancement of the scenic beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of Dartmoor, and the promotion of the understanding and enjoyment of its special qualities.

The Edward Morshead Award first prize went to Heatree Activity Centre, near Manaton, for the reconstruction of a Bronze Age round house for the teaching of sustainable living.  Second prize was awarded to the Kelly Mine Preservation Society for sustained restoration and conservation work at Kelly Mine, near Lustleigh.  Third prize was awarded jointly to the Duchy of Cornwall, for the development of the new Post Office and stores in Princetown, and Buckfastleigh Parochial Church Council, for the development of St Luke’s Church Buckfastleigh.

This year a Special Award was presented to Devon County Council for the Ashburton Bull Ring Enhancement Scheme.

Certificates of High Commendation, in recognition of meritorious contributions to the purposes of the National Park, were also presented to:

The Dartmoor Preservation Association Shield, in recognition of the best contribution by young people to National Park Purposes on Dartmoor, was presented by Colin Turner, Chairman of the Association, to Doddiscombsleigh Community School for the creative use of Dartmoor for education.

In coming to their decisions the judges were impressed by the wide range of activities carried out by individuals, groups and organisations, all for the benefit of Dartmoor. They acknowledged the contribution and achievements of all the entries nominated for the Award.

Recreational activities by Hunts on Dartmoor

Dartmoor National Park Authority (NPA) welcomes the recognition of the Hunting Act 2004 by all of the Hunts on Dartmoor.  The Hunts have advised the NPA that they have undertaken to comply with the law.  They will mirror their existing activities as far as the law will allow, which means that they may exercise their hounds, hold cross-country rides and ‘trail hunts’ (following a scented trail).  They have also said that they will seek the permission of landowners, farmers and tenants wherever such activities are planned.

The Hunts are in discussion with the National Park Authority concerning the future management of ‘hunting activities’, particularly trail hunting, as legal organised recreational pursuits.  The Hunts are keen to develop a protocol or code of practice which takes account of the NPA’s guidance to all event organisers.  It is intended to have this in place in advance of the Hunts recommencing activities in the autumn of 2005.

The National Park Authority will work closely with the Hunts and other organisations to maintain the tradition and spectacle of activities associated with hunts, whilst ensuring that full respect is afforded to the conservation of Dartmoor, to the enjoyment of other recreational users and the interests of local residents.

Clarification of access at Vixen Tor after the Public Inquiry and proposed talks about future access.

At the meeting held on 4 March 2005, Members of the Dartmoor National Park Authority considered the outcome of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 Section 6(3) appeals relating to Merrivale Newtake and land at Vixen Tor Farm.  They welcomed the dismissal of the appeal relating to Merrivale Newtake and look forward to working with the owner to manage public access to this land when the new right of access commences later this year.

The Inspector determined that the vegetation in Field 7 at Vixen Tor Farm, (the one which contains Vixen Tor itself), does not meet the criteria for inclusion of the land on the Conclusive Maps of Open Country.  This means that the land legitimately remains closed to the public, and that the new right of access on foot to open country, will definitely not apply to this land.  

Nevertheless, Authority Members recognised that many members of the public still regard Vixen Tor as a special Dartmoor landmark, to which they would like access.  Accordingly, Members instructed the Chief Executive (National Park Officer) to discuss with the owners, the circumstances under which they might agree to public access being permitted and the owners have since indicated that they are willing to talk.  The Authority has traditionally followed a voluntary approach to securing and managing public access on Dartmoor and Members considered that such an arrangement at Vixen Tor had potential benefits to all parties.

Archaeological works 2004 - 2005

Within the last financial year conservation works have taken place at numerous archaeological sites throughout Dartmoor National Park.  These works have been undertaken by the Authority’s own Conservation Works Team, outside contractors, or by teams of volunteers.  Works undertaken at sites designated as Scheduled Ancient Monuments, which are recognised as being of national importance, have been part funded by English Heritage.

At the former RAF airfield at Harrowbeer, Yelverton, vegetation clearance works have taken place on numerous Second World War structures.  At present, scrub has been removed from several dispersal pens, locally known as “bomb bays”.  In the forthcoming months, further vegetation clearance will take place in other areas of the former air field, where barrack huts, air raid shelters, and control rooms once stood. Works have also taken place to reseal an exposed air raid shelter and secure a rare aircraft tethering block.

Within the Fernworthy forestry plantation, two hut circles, both damaged by fire pits, have been repaired, and the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers (BTCV) cleared gorse from the prehistoric enclosure known as Huccaby Rings, near Hexworthy.  The Tavistock Conservation Project Volunteers have undertaken vegetation clearance on sites in Dendles wood, in the Bellever Plantation and in the Newleycombe Valley.

Repair works were also completed at the deserted medieval village site at Houndtor, Grimspound prehistoric settlement and Stalldon stone row.  Works are continuing at Powdermills gunpowder factory, and erosion repairs are planned for the Shovel Down stone rows, and at a damaged pillow mound near Belstone.  Further repair works will be carried out at the Shaugh Bridge clay works.

In conjunction with the Dartmoor Preservation Association, a programme of cairn restoration will take place in the early summer on Ugborough Moor.  Over recent years many of the impressive summit cairns have been re-modelled by visitors.  The cairns, that were used as burial sites in the Bronze Age (around 4000 - 3500 yrs ago), survive as round stony mounds.  Often the loose stones from within the cairn structure are repositioned to make shelters and walls by people visiting the site.  The moving of the stones has the potential to destroy valuable archaeological evidence that may be buried within the features, as well as diminishing the cairns integrity.  

At the request of the National Park Authority, English Heritage has this year undertaken two extensive field surveys.  The surveys cover the medieval landscape of the former Okehampton Deer Park and the prehistoric earthworks on Hunter’s Tor, Lustleigh. In addition, a smaller survey was undertaken of the unusual earthworks at Deeper Marsh, Spitchwick.  These high quality surveys will hopefully add much to our knowledge and understanding of Dartmoor’s past.

Conservation Area Appraisals

Since June 1971 the National Park Authority has designated 21 Conservation Areas covering a variety of settlements on Dartmoor, in order to help preserve and where appropriate, enhance their special interest.  This special interest embodies essentially the character and appearance of the place in the context of both historic and architectural terms.  These designated settlements range from the small hamlet such as Murchington to the larger, more urban settlements, for example Chagford and Ashburton.

The essence and meaning of these protected areas has now been defined in draft Conservation Area Appraisals which are being produced in accordance with English Heritage guidance.  During the course of this year we shall be consulting with the local communities concerned via town and parish councils on these draft documents. It is hoped to have all 21 completed Conservation Area Appraisals in place from about April 2006.

Conservation Area Appraisals help to define the special architectural and historic interest of an area by describing its character and appearance.  The main function of an Appraisal is to enable the Authority and the community to relate planning proposals to the Conservation Area.

Our endeavours to produce these appraisals by March 2006 was given a major boost through support from the Government’s Planning Delivery Grant and the appointment of two contractors to undertake site survey and report work.

We have developed a corporate style for the appraisal document which contains text, historic maps, photographs etc. An example of a completed Conservation Area Appraisal document for the parish of Horrabridge can be viewed on our website at www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk

The Second Dartmoor Educators’ Forum

Dartmoor National Park Authority first held this forum last year with the aim of investigating if there was an interest in creating an ‘educational community’ for those organisations that either provide education (environmental or outdoor pursuits) on Dartmoor, or cater for visiting school groups, by providing venues/accommodation.  The first year’s forum identified the need to provide an opportunity for sharing good practice and learning.

In January 2005 Heatree House Activity Centre, Manaton, played host to the second forum.  The morning sessions were spent indoors with presentations (and participatory activities) from:

The afternoon sessions comprised:

Heatree’s ‘eco-challenge’ came next – two teams engaged in a game of tactics, communication, teamwork … and, for such well rounded educationalists, fierce competition.

Finally, there was a chance for participants to catch their breath and to reflect on how they might use or adapt what they had learnt and develop potential for future partnerships with others.

Help protect new life in Dartmoor National Park

Did you know that the meadow pipit is the most common bird on the moorland of Dartmoor and breeds here in internationally important numbers? That the skylark, long considered a herald of hazy summer days in the countryside, is now finding uplands such as Dartmoor to be its last stronghold?  Or that the lapwing and curlew are now so reduced in numbers that they are threatened with extinction as breeding birds on Dartmoor?

Many factors play a part in influencing the success of breeding birds including climate change and human disturbance. Even short term disturbance can be fatal. When a bird is forced to leave its nest, the eggs or newly fledged young can chill and die very quickly, or predators can move in and take eggs or nestlings.

During the bird breeding season, incorporating the months of March, April, May, June and July, you can minimise disturbance by:

Dartmoor National Park Authority, English Nature and the RSPB are working together with many other people, including landowners, the Ministry of Defence, commoners and recreational user groups, to conserve the moorland birds of Dartmoor.

A leaflet, entitled Dartmoor – a special place for moorland birds, provides information on Dartmoor's breeding birds and why it is so important to help protect them.  The leaflet contains full colour images of ground nesting and other moorland birds and is available, free of charge, from Dartmoor National Park Authority Information Centres or telephone (01822) 890414.  The leaflet can also be viewed online.

The breeding season for moorland birds on Dartmoor coincides with the lambing season and, with spring approaching, the moorland will be full of new life.

Many visitors and local people exercise their dogs when enjoying Dartmoor. Although a dog may not be actively chasing livestock, its presence can still cause disturbance.  During the lambing and calving season, expecting ewes or cows are particularly vulnerable.  A frightened animal may abort or abandon its young – a tragedy for the animal and a financial loss to the farmer.

The worrying of livestock by dogs is a year round concern.  The law requires that dogs be kept under close control at all times.  During the moorland lambing season (1 March to 31 July), and lambing season on enclosed farmland (1 December to 30 June), Dartmoor National Park Authority asks that people comply with signs requiring dogs to be kept on a lead.

When using Dartmoor's moorland roads it is important to remember that lambs may be on, or at, the roadside. The ewe may be grazing on the opposite side of the road and, if startled, a lamb could run in front of an oncoming vehicle to rejoin its mother. Please drive with Moor Care and keep a particular look out for lambs. Remember, the 40 mph speed limit is there for your safety and the safety of other road users, and livestock and wildlife.

It is important that all users of Dartmoor help to protect the area’s special qualities. Access land is shared with grazing animals and indigenous moorland wildlife while moorland roads are not just used by vehicles. Please take extra care at this time of year.

Exhibitions at the High Moorland Visitor Centre, Princetown, 2005

The Dartmoor Gallery Exhibitions Programme for the rest of the year and early 2006 is as follows:

The exhibition programme at the High Moorland Visitor Centre, Dartmoor Gallery, is also published in The Dartmoor Visitor and on Dartmoor National Park Authority’s website www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk. on the Events and Guided  Walks page

Help hunt for Dartmoor’s Wild Daffodils

Action for Wildlife: the Dartmoor Biodiversity Project is once again collecting records of wild daffodils within Dartmoor National Park this spring.

Most of the daffodils we see each spring are cultivated garden varieties, planted in their thousands along road verges, and in parks and gardens across the nation.  But native wild daffodils can still be found, usually in woods and meadows close to rivers, although habitat loss means that they are not as frequent now as they once were.

Last spring, records were sent to us from a variety of areas, mostly in the Teign valley, where the wild daffodil is a well-known local character.  

Records were also sent from a number of other areas, including new records from the Sheepstor and Burrator area.  It is possible that there are many wild daffodils tucked away in river valleys, particularly around the fringes of the National Park.

You can help protect wild daffodils where they grow by taking part in the Dartmoor Wild Daffodil Hunt.  

Because daffodils die back and disappear underground for most of the year, it’s easy for them to be dug up or damaged accidentally.  

The Dartmoor Wild Daffodil Hunt leaflet and survey form is available from Action for Wildlife by telephoning (01626) 831072 or by visiting the website at www.actionforwildlife.org.uk.  

Leaflets are also available from Devon Wildlife Trust and Dartmoor National Park Authority Information Centres.  No special knowledge is required; the leaflet will tell you everything you need to know, including how to tell a wild daffodil from a garden variety.

Conservation Works

Haytor Parking

Maintenance work is taking place in several parking areas near Haytor.

Haytor Tramway and Quarry

Erosion repairs, between the granite rails of the tramway, together with the removal of gorse, which was overgrowing and restricting access along the line, have taken place.  Improvements to the path, leading from the back of the quarry, have also taken place.

Chagford Cross Tree

In partnership with Devon County Council, improvements are being made to area adjacent to the Cross Tree.  This involves new path edging and drainage, as well as improving and raising the surface using local growan.

Grimspound

A small programme of works each year keeps Grimspound looking good.  Minor works have included the removal of ‘foreign stones’ and the use of growan / soil to fill hollows, along with seeding and minor drainage work.

Fernworthy

Fire damaged areas have been filled and re-turfed in Fernworthy, at the Lowton Brook and Assycombe settlements.

Further minor repairs and maintenance has taken place at:  Gallant Le Bower, Holne Moor, Dartmeet, Princetown, Bullaton, Uppacott and Postbridge.

News from the Dartmoor Sustainable Development Fund

The Dartmoor Sustainable Development Fund: The first three years – and the next!

As we come to the end of the current financial year it is a good time to reflect on the success of the first three years of the fund.  So far Defra has provided a total of £525,000 of which, after operating costs have been deducted, £472,500 has been available for grants to individuals, community groups and businesses to support the development of innovative new ideas for better and more sustainable ways of living in, working in and visiting Dartmoor.

The Fund is administered by the National Park Authority with the help of an independent Grant Advisory Panel and during the first three years there have been nearly 200 expressions of interest.  Of these 118 have been submitted as formal applications and 80 of those have been approved, with grants averaging £6,119.

The smallest grant was for £268 – towards running a course on cob building – and the largest was for £28,000 for various measures to ensure the long term future of native Dartmoor ponies grazing freely on Dartmoor’s open spaces.  Projects supported have ranged from renewable energy to nature conservation, from sustainable tourism to social inclusion and from green transport to education for sustainable living.

We are currently seeing an increasing number of applications for arts based projects. While it is inevitable that Dartmoor’s landscape will inspire artistic creativity, to be successful in a bid to the Fund applicants must be planning to use their creative talents not just to identify or highlight issues around society’s unsustainable relationship with the natural world, but to inspire and motivate changes in people’s habits, attitudes and actions that will ensure a more sustainable way of living.

Looking to the future, Defra is planning to support the Fund at its current level of £200,000 per annum for the next three years and our priority is to encourage projects which have tangible, long-lasting, outcomes and which:

So if you have an innovative idea that could contribute to a better future for all of us: young and old, able and less able and that will additionally help the Dartmoor National Park Authority to achieve its purposes, then do get in touch.  The application process is simple and the decision will be quick – usually in less than 2 months.

For more information, or to discuss your ideas for potential applications, please contact Peter Joyce, Dartmoor Sustainable Development Fund Officer, on (01626) 832093.

Dartmoor Sustainable Development Fund 2004 / 5

During the past financial year there were 57 expressions of interest from which 48 proceeded as formal applications to the Fund. Of these, 13 were refused and 2 are currently deferred pending further information. A total of 33 projects were approved for grants totalling £235,000.

Rural Skills Training

WestDEN’s successful rural skills training project has been given a new lease of life with news of increased funding to offer free training in a wide area of Devon.

Rural Skills, which has been working in West Devon for the past three years, is now set to offer a range of vocational training for the over 30s across a large area of rural Devon: in the South Hams, West Devon, Torridge  and North Devon.  

During the last three years Rural Skills helped over three hundred people to gain qualifications in a wide range of practical skills as diverse as tractor driving, welding, basket making, computers and forestry.  

The new funds mean the project will be able to give free advice and training to a much wider range of people with a particular focus on helping employees of small businesses who need to gain new skills or essential qualifications.

Richard Halliwell Rural Skills Project Manager said:

‘The first Rural Skills Project was even more successful than we had anticipated and we are delighted that this important work can now be extended across half of Devon.

Our experience has reinforced what statistics show: that there is an overwhelming need for this kind of targeted, practical training to address a national skills shortage.

Many of our trainees have gone from very low paid and insecure employment to running their own successful businesses or to securing better paid jobs.’

The new funding comes from Devon County Council, Dartmoor National Park, Devon Renaissance, which is government-funded through the Regional Development Agency, the European Social Fund through the European Union, and Westden.

For more information about the project call: Richard Halliwell on 0845 345 5077 or email: Richard@westden.co.uk or visit www.westden.co.uk (external link, opens new window)

Microsoft Community Learning Awards

The aim of the Microsoft Community Learning Awards is to support community groups and charities across the UK by helping to provide opportunities for disadvantaged young people and adults to learn about information technology through community-based technology and learning centres.

The Microsoft Community Learning Awards 2005 will distribute 30 awards of £2,500 to community groups and charities across the UK.  Microsoft is looking for innovation and evidence of the difference that £2,500 could make to a community project.  Perhaps a grant would enable you to increase the number of volunteer trainers and their skills which would, in turn, improve the quality and quantity of IT training you can offer?  Or perhaps a grant would enable you to extend your IT training to reach new people within your community, addressing key issues which today prevent them taking part in your activities?
