Review of Parish Owned Trees (July 2021)
Following the progress of Ash Dieback into

were inspected in 2020. As a result a number of Ash

21. The Parish Council authorised a follow up
inspection for this year. A brief look at The Green
and Behind Hayes playing field was also carried out. (for details click

Otterton Public Rights of Way
In Otterton Parish we
have approximately 20 miles of PROW’s. These being
made up of footpaths, bridleways and green lanes
(unclassified roads). The maintenance of these
routes is getting more and more difficult with
current financial constraints, and a blurring of
responsibilities between Devon County Council (DCC)
East Devon District Council (EDDC) and
landowners/occupiers. EDDC look after our coastal
routes and with a Ranger dedicated to this work we
don’t get many problems along the South West Coast
Path. Click

Traffic Sensitive Street Review (Feb 2018)
As you may be aware, Devon are
undertaking a full review of the traffic senstivie
street network. Full details can be found on our
webpages;
https://new.devon.gov.uk/haveyoursay/consultations/traffic-sensitive-streets-review/
https://new.devon.gov.uk/devonhighways/important-updates
A statutory consultation period will be published
for a 1 month period from the 1 March 2018. We are
providing you with this information in advance of
the consultation to enable you to feedback any
thoughts you may have at an early stage. Feedback
should be sent to the following email address: highwaycoordination-mailbox@devon.gov.uk
Please be aware, Devon are governed by what can be
designated traffic sensitive through regulations
and statute – so we cannot designate routes
outside of specific legal criteria.
Local Consideration Network
For those areas where legal designations as
traffic sensitive cannot be made we are aware, as
the highway authority, that early conversations
and consultation on works would help reduce
network disruption. We are therefore developing a
secondary network of routes entitled ‘local
consideration’.
This is a network that will trigger a need for
anyone planning works to discuss with local
stakeholders at an early stage (i.e. at the point
of noticing). The development of this network is
ongoing, however, this network can be considered
for areas where traffic sensitive designations do
not apply.
