Self-build housing in North Devon and Torridge

A local plan is an important document which sets out the long-term vision for an area.

Our plan describes how we want our towns and villages to grow, where new homes, shops and workplaces might be built, and how we’ll protect our exceptional landscapes while tackling important issues like transport, flooding and climate change. Balancing these priorities is the ongoing challenge of local planning.
