Is Budleigh Salterton part of a World Heritage Site, and does that matter?

Who signs off solar pv work in Budleigh Salterton?
Your electrician, if they're on a scheme like NICEIC. They test the work, issue an Electrical Installation Certificate and notify East Devon District Council building control. Hiring someone who isn't registered means paying the council to inspect it, which costs far more.
