Latest parish asked to 'help decide its future' by introducing a new local plan
The deadline for representations is Monday 30 November, 2026.
Culmstock Parish Council has applied for the area to get its own plan for how it should develop in future.
It's the eight application Mid Devon District Council has received for a Neighbourhood Area designation since the Localism Act gave local communities the power to produce plans for their own areas.
A spokesperson said: "The neighbourhood plan will be a community-led framework for guiding the future development and growth within the Neighbourhood Area.
"It must conform to the strategic policies of the Mid Devon Local Plan, national planning policy and human rights legislation. Neighbourhood plans are also subject to public examination and referendum.
"As a first step in the preparation of the plan, Culmstock Parish Council has submitted the boundary of Culmstock parish as the proposed boundary for the Neighbourhood Area.
The parish council’s application and a map of the proposed Neighbourhood Area can be viewed on our website."
