Down 8,22 "Created a stir getting lost on overlooking confined region (10,4)" seems to be RESTRICTED AREA. Anagram of "created a stir" makes most of it, but there is an additional RE to explain. How does 'on overlooking' = RE, please?

PS Agree with discussion on 13,14 across being 'Paid the price' but the link in the clue to 'bed' is very weak. After all, if you make your own bed you have to lie on it, so there's a real false trail to the first word being 'laid'. But then there's nothing sensible to follow the 'laid'. Very unsatisfying when the solution to a clue leaves untidy ends!

THANKS in advance for enlightenment on the RE above.

On overlooking -= "Re" (about, on) goes first before the anagram.
Possibly:

re = on - ie about, on the subject.
overlooking - it precedes the solved anagram
Re = 'concerning; about' = 'on' (the subject of...)

Overlooking = 'on top; in front; first'
