A six-week consultation on East Devon’s new Local Plan is being held before it is reviewed by a Government inspector and after that it should be adopted.
The document being considered, outlines what development should go from now until 2042.
The consultation, taking place between 13 February and 31 March, is the last chance for residents to share their comments on the plan before the review by the Government inspector.
Thousands of people have already commented on proposals outlined in the new Local Plan including on how many new homes need to be built and where.
The plan sets out various other aims, including:
- How the district could address the climate change emergency;
- How and where new jobs should be created how we should support our town centres;
- How East Devon protects its built heritage and natural environment and
- How EDDC intends to deliver housing to meet the needs of local residents and ensure new homes are net zero carbon ensuring they are more efficient and cheaper to run.
The new Local Plan will be a key document when making planning decisions in East Devon.
Everyone who lives, works and spends time in the district has been asked to share their views about the future of the district as part the consultation.
