Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan

The Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan is a joint plan between Plymouth City Council, South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council.

The three councils have joined up to create this plan which looks at every aspect of how we want our cities, towns and villages to look and feel over the next 20 years. Now adopted, the Joint Local Plan replaces all previous development plans in each local authority and in Plymouth, the existing policies in the Plymouth Plan will also be combined with the Plymouth-specific policies in the new Joint Local Plan to create one document.

Local Development Framework
The Local Development Framework was the previous adopted local plan for Plymouth and was a set of documents which guide planning and development in Plymouth. These primarily being the Core Strategy and the Area Action Plans.

Sustainable Neighbourhood Assessments
As part of the development of the Local Development Framework consultation began on the Sustainable Neighbourhoods Development Plan Document where leaflets were produced for each neigbbourhood. There was also an assessment of each local area done addressing the amount and use of local services entitled Sustainable Neigbourhood Assessments.
