EDDC publishes the Villages Plan and the heritage impact assessment on Musbury

The East Devon Villages Plan defines the ‘Built-up Area Boundary’ (BUAB) for Musbury and the other ‘sustainable’  villages. It should be read alongside the East Devon Local Plan 2013 – 2031, which was adopted in January 2016 and sets the planning strategy for East Devon. You can see the Proposed Musbury BUAB here

EDDC is inviting ‘representations’ on these proposals on its comments form until noon on 10 May 2017.

EDDC has also prepared a Heritage Impact Report which you can view here heritage-assessment-musbury-publication

The Musbury Parish Council response to earlier consultation sought the inclusion of part of Baxters Farm (now included) and the continuing exclusion of Mountfield ( which is now included. EDDC says ‘the open nature of this land coupled with its topography, tree cover and relationship with neighbouring listed buildings makes it unlikely that it will be suitable for development, except in exceptional circumstances’).
