Notes

1 The Proposals Map has been digitised to 1:5000 scale. As a result, minor inconsistencies may have occurred due to scaling up.

2 Countryside Zone extends to Mean Low Water Mark. However, this is not shown
on the Proposals Map for the sake of clarity.

3 Some information shown on the Proposals Map is from external sources. In such circumstances the Council is unable to accept responsibility for the accuracy of information supplied.

4 The boundaries of Scheduled Monuments are shown for indicative
purposes only and represent Torbay Council’s interpretation of the Official Scheduled Monument boundary. The data is the copyright of English Heritage and copies of the Official Scheduling Map may be obtained from English Heritage.

5 Contour intervals at 5 metres.

6 The allocation of this part of Policy L5.5 as an Urban Landscape Protection Area has been the subject of a challenge to the High Court (see paragraph 11.43 of the Written Statement).
