For the next nine weeks everyone has an opportunity to comment on the final changes that have been made to the Teignbridge Local Plan, which will shape the development of Teignbridge until 2040.
The Plan identifies land for homes and jobs for local people, protects valued environments and creates more public open spaces. It tackles climate change and promotes low carbon energy to help secure future needs. It also sets out the infrastructure needed to support developments such as roads, schools and healthcare.
Copies of the Main Modifications Local Plan and related documents, including a short Need to Know Guide are on our website.
Paper copies are also available to view in libraries, town and parish council offices and at Forde House, Newton Abbot.
Anyone can comment on the proposed changes to the plan using the online response form between midday on Tuesday 30 July until the deadline at midday on Wednesday 1 October 2025.
All comments received from residents, businesses and other organisations will then be passed to the Planning Inspectorate for consideration by the independent Planning Inspectors before their final report on the Local Plan 2020-2040 is issued with any recommended amendments.
The Council will consider these recommendations before presenting the final Local Plan to a Full Council meeting for consideration and adoption later this year.
