If you don’t like the decisions that the council makes on planning matters then now is your chance to change things, say East Devon District Council, as they start work on a new Local Plan.
While nearly 20,000 people have registered to comment on planning proposals through the council’s website, less than ten per cent of them have opted to receive information on matters such as the new Local Plan, which will decide what and where we allow new developments in East Devon for the next 20 years.
So far, only one person under the age of 26 has shared their views on the new local plan, and the council is urging all groups in the community to tell them what they need and want from future developments.
