Conservation areas

South Hams District Council's conservation area boundaries aren't published to planning.data.gov.uk, so we can't map them here. Ask your conveyancer or check the council's website if you're planning alterations.

Flood risk (rivers and sea)

Only 1 of the 100 postcodes we checked have their centre in Flood Zone 2 or 3. That's rivers and sea only; surface water is mapped separately, so still check the address.

Radon

The 1 km radon map square at the centre of Ivybridge is class 6: an estimated 30% or more of homes are above the radon Action Level. 100% of the sold postcodes we checked fall in a radon Affected Area. Check whether the house has a radon sump or membrane, and if there's no test result, plan one in the first year.

Mundic

Mundic (decaying concrete made with mine waste) is mainly a Cornish issue, but lenders also ask about it in parts of Devon such as South Hams. A pre-1950 concrete-block home here may need a mundic test.

Ground and building stone

Under most of Ivybridge the bedrock is mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (86%). Older homes are often built of local stone; check pointing, wall heads and chimney stacks.
