Planning for development in and around the North Devon National Landscape;The landscape and beauty of North Devon is protected in planning, equal to that of a National Park, and so all public bodies and statutory undertakers must have regard to the area's wildlife and National Landscape status when determining an outcome.
The North Devon National Landscape Partnership acts as an adviser to local planning authorities, but unlike National Park Authorities, they do not prepare statutory planning documents or determine planning applications. Instead they rely on the district, borough and county councils to follow their own individual National Landscape planning policies in order to protect the area's natural beauty from 'harm'. The National Landscape partnership are consulted on a variety of planning applications that are likely to have a significant impact on the National Landscape and features, or which would set a precedent. However, they do not tend to comment on applications which have a limited impact, residential extensions for example. |
If you have any queries or questions about how an area's National Landscape status may influence your own proposals, the local partnership are generally obliged to advise you to contact the Local Planning Authority for 'advice'...
Needless to say, if you are unsure about how your proposal may be affected, or if there is anything that you'd prefer not to disclose, we would encourage you to take advice from an independent expert before approaching a Council officer!
