Considering Sites for Development in Lamerton Parish

Site Information Pack This pack contains:

A Site Information Table This table sets out information about the constraints and opportunities for each site which have been considered. Depending on the constraints identified, we have concluded that there are either ‘significant constraints’ to development or ‘limited constraints’ to development.

Site Maps These maps show all of the sites which have been considered as part of this exercise. For more information Constraint Maps South Hams and West Devon Place Making Team Follaton House, Plymouth Road, Totnes, TQ9 5NE These maps show the different constraints, such as conservation areas, flood zones and the wildlife sites.

Lamerton - General Comments Lamerton is a small village located in the south of the Borough. The village has a good range of local services, which include a pub, village hall and primary school (Lamerton Primary School). There is very limited capacity at the primary school and the site is not capable of expansion. The designated secondary school is Tavistock College which has some capacity but contributions to facilities and transport may be required from new development.
