6. South East Devon Habitat Regulations Executive Committee
Exeter City Council, East Devon District Council and Teignbridge District Council have joined together to form the South East Devon Habitat Regulations Executive Committee. The committee works across the three authority areas to protect the Exe Estuary, Dawlish Warren and the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths for future generations to enjoy.
To off-set the effects of new developments and population growth on these protected sites, the Joint Committee is working with partners that include:
- Natural England
- Clinton Devon Estates
- National Trust
- RSPB
- Exe Estuary Management Partnership
- Devon Wildlife Trust
Funding comes from developer contributions on new residential development within a 10km "zone of influence" from the protected sites.
