Publication of the East Devon Local Plan 2006-2026 East Devon District Council has prepared its Local Plan
and proposes to submit it to the Secretary of State under Regulation 22 of the Town and Country Planning (Local
Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. The local plan sets out strategic policy for development and development management policies across East Devon. It includes the full suite of policies for the seven main towns of the District (Axminster, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, Honiton, Ottery St. Mary, Seaton and Sidmouth) and the ‘West End’ and countryside areas. We will be doing further work on planning for our smaller settlements through a separate village Development Plan Document.
Parishes and public are invited to submit representations on the ‘soundness’ of the proposed plan from Friday 16th November 2012 until 12 noon on Monday 14th January 2013. Representations will be sent to the Inspector with the plan and only those representations received within this period have a statutory right to be considered by the Inspector at the subsequent examination.
The proposed submission document, a statement of representation procedure and other documents in support of the plan are available to view and download from the Council’s website at: http://www.eastdevon.gov.uk/localplan
The plan is also available for inspection during normal opening hours at: East Devon District Council Offices, Knowle, Sidmouth, EX10 8HL and at public libraries in East Devon.
Paper copies of the plan (black and white text book and colour maps booklet) can also be purchased at a cost of £5 plus £2.50 postage and packaging. And we will be sending paper copies free of charge to town and parish Councils in East Devon.
For more information please contact the Planning Policy team on 01395 - 571533, or at the above address or email localplan@eastdevon.gov.uk.

Whilst we will consider all representations made within the consultation period completion of the representation form is our preferred method of receiving comments because it will help us to handle your representation quickly and efficiently.
