Brixham Town Design Statement 2011 - 2015 - Torbay Council

New developments of over six dwellings should have green space provision as part of the design and family homes should have adequate
garden space as part of the design.
Existing parks and open spaces should be retained and developed as part of the tourism offering, as stated in the Torbay Community plan 2007.
Brixham has a large amount of Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Berry Head is a National Nature Reserve and Country Park.
It is home to the rare Greater Horseshoe bats, the UK's most southerly Guillemot colony and a variety of rare or threatened flora and fauna.
The headland is occupied by Ancient Monuments in the form of some of the UK's best-preserved Napoleonic Fortifications. Brixham also is
within the Torbay Geopark and has recognized areas of Geopark (Appendix 2). Geoparks aims to protect geo-diversity and to promote
geological heritage to the general public as well as to support sustainable economic development of Geopark territories primarily through the
development of geological tourism.
