Article 4 directions (enpa_article4)

Removal of the permitted development rights in relation to certain types of development on a site.

BAP Blanket Bog (enpa_blanketbog)

Blanket bogs are characterised by plants that thrive on waterlogged, acid peats such as bogmosses, cottongrasses and deer sedge. They occur on deep peats on the moorland plateau, generally at altitudes of at least 400 metres. In addition to high quality blanket bog of the type described above, this Plan also includes degraded blanket bog which has become dominated by purple moor-grass, but which still retains some blanket bog species.

Former Orchards (enpa_forchardsmap)

Landscape Character Types (enpa_landscapearea)

Landscape Character Areas as defined by the 2007 Exmoor National Park Landscape Character Assessment.

BAP Lowland Heath (enpa_lowlandheath)

Lowland heath is defined as vegetation in which dwarf-shrubs such as heather, bell heather and western gorse are a prominent component. Generally lowland heath communities occur below the 300 metre contour, though in practice, there is considerable overlap with communities considered more typical of upland situations. The presence of lowland heath vegetation communities (eg. NVC types H4 and H8) and species such as dartford warbler, nightjar and heath fritillary is the most reliable indicator.

Orchards (enpa_orchardsmap)

Traditional orchards are a landscape feature of lower farmland areas within the National Park, particularly within the Vale of Porlock.

Land and Property Assets (enpa_owned)

The extent and location of property owned by Exmoor National Park Authority.

Section 3 Cliff and Foreshore (enpa_s3cf)

Section 3 of the Wildlife and Countryside (Amendment) Act 1985 requires the National Park Authority (NPA) to prepare a map of any areas of mountain, moor, heath, woodland, down, cliff or foreshore (including any bank, barrier, dune, beach, flat or other land adjacent to the foreshore), whose natural beauty it is, in the opinion of the NPA, particularly important to conserve.

Section 3 Moor and Heath (enpa_s3mh)

Section 3 of the Wildlife and Countryside (Amendment) Act 1985 requires the National Park Authority (NPA) to prepare a map of any areas of mountain, moor, heath, woodland, down, cliff or foreshore (including any bank, barrier, dune, beach, flat or other land adjacent to the foreshore), whose natural beauty it is, in the opinion of the NPA, particularly important to conserve.

Section 3 Woodland (enpa_s3w)

Section 3 of the Wildlife and Countryside (Amendment) Act 1985 requires the National Park Authority (NPA) to prepare a map of any areas of mountain, moor, heath, woodland, down, cliff or foreshore (including any bank, barrier, dune, beach, flat or other land adjacent to the foreshore), whose natural beauty it is, in the opinion of the NPA, particularly important to conserve.

Tree Preservation Order (tree) (enpa_tpo_tree)

A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is an order made by a local planning authority in respect of trees or woodlands.

Tree Preservation Order (woodland) (enpa_tpo_woodland)

A Tree Preservation Order (TPO) is an order made by a local planning authority in respect of trees or woodlands.

BAP Upland Heath (enpa_uplandheath)

Upland heathland is defined as vegetation dominated by dwarf shrubs such as heather, bell heather, whortleberry and gorses which is generally found above the 300 metre contour. The mixture of these species is distinct from that found on lowland heaths, though on Exmoor, the two grade imperceptibly into each other making the distinction somewhat arbitrary in places.

BAP Upland Oakwoods (enpa_uplandoakwoods)

The steep-sided combes and coastal slopes of Exmoor still support large expanses of ancient woodland. These are largely of the upland oak woodland type, which on Exmoor is easily defined by the predominance in the canopy of sessile oak. Other trees and shrubs are much scarcer, though downy birth is usually present, and holly, rowan and hazel tend to be present in the understorey. In NVC terms, this is defined as the W17 sessile oak – downy birth – Dicranum majus moss community. In addition, richer soils on flatter ground and in the valley bottoms and around spring lines support woodland in which pedunculate oak and ash may be locally dominant. Though much smaller in area, these communities form an important part of the upland oak wood complex and are particularly important for the communities of rare lichens they support.

Veteran Tree (enpa_vettree)

In order to get a better picture of where our ancient trees are, Exmoor National Park Authority have undertaken to locate and identify its ancient trees, including the 2006/7 Ancient Tree Hunt, which brought the total of known ancient and notable trees to well over 1700.

Conservation Areas (enpaconsarea)

Conservation areas are defined as being of "special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance."
