Considering Sites for Development in Highampton 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.
