North Devon and Torridge Local Plan 2011 - 2031

The first joint North Devon and Torridge Local Plan has been adopted and will now shape the future of northern Devon.

The Plan was adopted at a meeting of the Full Council on 29 October 2018, held alongside a meeting of North Devon Council. The North Devon and Torridge Local Plan now forms the key part of the statutory development plan for both Councils and will be used in determining planning applications.

It has been prepared with the aim of ensuring that future development is well planned and managed effectively whilst having a positive impact on local communities, the economy and the environment. It provides a consistent approach to planning into the future across the whole of northern Devon.
