  • RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 Foreword
    locafenvironment agency plan RIVER TEIGN ACTION PLAN JANUARY 1998 Foreword The integrated management of the environment is a fundamental philosophy for the Environment Agency with Local Environment Agency Plans (LEAPs) taking a key role in this approach. The River Teign Catchment covers a popular area of Devon including part of Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon Heritage Coast. The towns of Newton Abbot, Teignmouth and Torquay are important economic and tourist centres and it is important that the assets of the catchment are maintained and protected both now and for future generations to enjoy. It is vital that the needs of all uses of the area, including flora and fauna, are balanced to ensure continued protection of these precious assets. This Action Plan epitomises the Agency's commitment to protect and where necessary enhance the environment through the Agency's own actions or in association with other organisations. We are very grateful for the contributions made during the consultation period and are convinced that they represent the spirit of partnership that will be required to implement the plan.
