WITH less than two weeks before consultation on its draft Local Plan closes on March 13, Teignbridge Council is urging residents to take a final chance to give their views on the proposals which will shape the development of Teignbridge until 2040.

The plan identifies land for homes and jobs for local people, protects valued environments and creates more public open spaces. It tackles climate change and promotes low carbon energy to help secure future needs. 

It also sets out the infrastructure needed to support developments - such as roads, schools and healthcare.

A council spokesperson said: ‘Please tell us what you think of the proposals and encourage your friends and family to comment too, using the online feedback form.  A short video on our website explains how to complete the form and anyone having problems using it should contact the local plan team on 01626 215754 or email.

‘Copies of the Draft Local Plan and related documents, including a short ‘Need to Know’ guide, are on our website. Paper copies are also available to view in libraries, town and parish council offices and at Forde House.

‘The Plan and all comments received from residents, businesses and other organisations will then be passed to the planning inspectorate for review and public examination. Anyone who submits a written objection can request to appear before the inspector at the Local Plan examination hearing.
