Map 6 National Parks Commission consultation map (1961)
With receipt of the final confirmed comments from the local authorities in February 1962, Mr. Mollison was able to look at the various changes proposed, and to discuss these with Mr. Turnbull of Devon CC. NPC Paper 42 B/23 on the Proposed East Devon AONB and the Formal Consultations, was then prepared by Mr. Mollison for consideration by the NPC at their meeting on 27/28 February 1962. The comments of the local authorities, and the Nature Conservancy have been set out below, together with the decisions agreed 43 by NPC (in italics) on each of the proposed changes:- Honiton MBC wanted the northern AONB boundary in their area to be moved further south to avoid conflict with future policies for light industries on the edge of the town. The NPC agreed to accept these suggestions subject to further consultation with the MBC on the precise boundary. Exmouth UDC requested a small extension at the westerly extremity of the proposed designation. This small extension was agreed by the NPC together with a nearby addition at Littleham. Sidmouth UDC requested nine amendments to bring the AONB in line with the boundaries of (a) their recently adopted Outline Development Plan, (b) the general area which the built-up part of the town then covered, and (c) the area within which they said that there were no fundamental objections to development. There was agreement to accept six of the nine amendments suggested by the UDC, three for exclusions and three for inclusions. Axminster RDC requested the inclusion of extensive areas to the north-west and south-west of the town of Axminster. The NPC agreed inclusion of the Axe Valley and to adopt the boundary suggested by the RDC in the north, and also to take the area at Uplyme. Conversely they rejected the inclusion of Beer or the extensive area north of the Axminster-Honiton Road. Honiton RDC sought the exclusion of all their area from the AONB, arguing that future development could be adequately controlled through the present planning regime. This view was not accepted by the NPC.
