Planning for development in and around the South Devon National Landscape;
The landscape and beauty of the South Devon National Landscape is protected in planning, and has the same level of protection as a National Park, therefore all public bodies and statutory undertakers must have regard to the area's National Landscape status when performing their duties.
Unlike it's neighbour Dartmoor National Park, the South Devon National Landscape Partnership only acts as an advisory company to local planning authorities, and do not prepare statutory planning documents or determine the outcome of planning applications. Instead they rely on the district, borough and county councils to follow their own individual National Landscape planning policies in order to work with people whilst protecting the area's natural beauty. 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!

* Please note that 'small' extensions are not really our cup of tea... However if necessary we would be happy to refer you to a suitable 3rd party specialist. That said, large, unique extensions and complete 'one off' domestic overhauls really do float our boat... so please get in touch! |
