Local Plan Consultation Extended

Teignbridge District Council has extended the consultation period on its Local Plan, moving the closing date from 15th June to 13th July. The change has been made to give people more time to comment, given that face to face meetings are not currently possible.

The Local Plan and its associated documents can be viewed at: www.teignbridge.gov.uk/localplanreview.

The FAQ section of the documents explains that a Local Plan guides decisions on where and how development takes place. It contains a set of rules, called ‘policies’, which are used to guide decisions on applications for development. The Teignbridge Local Plan is in two parts, with Part 1 guiding decisions on HOW development takes place in Teignbridge, and Part 2 on WHERE developments take place. The consultation is on Part 1.

If you would like to tell Teignbridge District Council what you think about the plan you can send your comments by:

• Completing the online questionnaire
• Email to localplanreview@teignbridge.gov.uk
• Post to Spatial Planning and Delivery Team, Forde House, Brunel Road, Newton Abbot, TQ12 4XX
