Mid Devon District Council has officially adopted the Crediton Town Centre Masterplan, marking a pivotal step in shaping the future of the town.

The plan was formally adopted at the Council’s meeting on 4 September 2024, following its earlier approval by Cabinet in July.

The masterplan provides a comprehensive strategy to help Crediton unlock its full potential as an attractive, vibrant, and sustainable town with a strong economic foundation. It outlines key priorities and projects to enhance the town, support local businesses, and ensure its continued prosperity.

This ambitious plan has been developed with the help of the local community, utilising the Council’s engagement hub to gather feedback. Residents and stakeholders were invited to share their views, shaping a draft plan that addresses their concerns and aspirations. The finalised masterplan reflects this valuable input and has been adopted as a supplementary planning document, ensuring its influence in guiding future planning decisions.

Councillor Steve Keable, Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Regeneration, said:

“The adoption of the Crediton Town Centre Masterplan marks a major milestone for our community. Thanks to the incredible input from local residents, we now have a shared vision that reflects Crediton’s potential and paves the way for exciting developments ahead.”

The masterplan has already demonstrated its impact by securing funding from Great Western Railway’s Customer and Community Improvement Fund. This funding will be used to enhance cycling and pedestrian connections between Crediton town centre and the railway station - one of many projects that will contribute to the masterplan’s vision.
