Residents, organisations and other councils are reminded to submit their formal representations on the draft Exeter Plan by the closing date of 6 February.
The Exeter Plan is a key document for the future of Exeter, identifying sites for new homes and jobs, and setting out policies to deliver high quality, sustainable development.
The draft Exeter Plan brings together more than four years of collective hard work and has been shaped by the public through three previous rounds of consultation. This is the final draft version of the Plan that the City Council intends to submit to the Secretary of State in summer 2025 for examination.
The draft Exeter Plan has also been informed by numerous specialist studies making up the evidence base which is also available to view together with the draft Plan.
The draft Exeter Plan is available to read online at exeterplanpublication.commonplace.is or in person at the Civic Centre, Exeter Library, Pinhoe Library, St Thomas Library and Topsham Library.
Representations can be made using the online survey via the link above or using paper forms available at these locations.
Planning legislation requires that representations focus on whether the draft Plan is consistent with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and meets all the necessary legal requirements and specific tests of soundness.
All representations received will be considered by the Planning Inspector when the Exeter Plan is submitted to the Secretary of State for examination.
