The Mid Devon District Council has approved a draft appraisal and management plan for the Grand Western Canal Conservation Area, originally designated in October 1994 without a formal appraisal. This initiative aligns with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and the National Planning Policy Framework. The draft document, which includes proposed boundary adjustments detailed in Section 7.6, will undergo a public consultation before final approval. The Planning Policy Advisory Group endorsed the draft on May 15, 2024. The council aims to engage all members and the public during the consultation period to ensure comprehensive feedback.
