The Tiverton Neighbourhood Plan has become the third to be approved in Mid Devon following its referendum held on 17 November 2022.

The referendum results recorded 84.55% of votes in favour of the Neighbourhood Plan.

Voters were asked the question:

“Do you want Mid Devon District Council to use the neighbourhood plan for Tiverton to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”

The Tiverton Neighbourhood Plan now forms part of the statutory development plan for the Tiverton area, alongside the Mid Devon Local Plan and the Devon Waste and Minerals Plans. It carries full weight for guiding planning applications submitted to the Council for determination and the decisions made on these. The plan will formally be adopted at a meeting of the Council on 14 December.

The Tiverton Neighbourhood Plan is published on the Council’s website.
