Site constraints 8

East Devon National Landscape
Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.
Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
1 listed building within 150 m; World heritage site 125 m away: Dorset and East Devon Coast; Radon affected area, class 4; SSSI 460 m away: Ladram Bay to Sidmouth SSSI; Inside the Sidmouth built-up area; Heritage coast 56 m away: East Devon.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
