Abstract: |
The proposed solar farm would cover an area of approximately 12ha, close to the source of the River Troney near Whiddon Down. The panels would be located on the north-facing slopes of the valley, to the north and below Martin Farm. This area, and two other nearby settlements, Drascombe and Hollycombe, are mentioned in the bounds of a charter of c.739, and Martin Farm was itself listed in Domesday; its subsequent manorial history is, however, very obscure. The parish boundary for Drewsteignton follows an eccentric course around the farm, and probably defines the extent of the Domesday manor. The farm and buildings were sold off piecemeal in the early 1990s and are now in separate ownership. |
