East Devon District Council are issuing this brief in order to seek submission of tenders to support the development of the Local Plan in terms of incorporating new community proposals. The work of the Council’s Planning Policy Team and the HELAA panel will consider the traditional planning issues associated with the 3 new communities that have been put forward such as their landscape impact, loss of agricultural land, impact on heritage assets, ecology etc.

The Council is looking to commission a multi-disciplinary team to help set an ambitious vision for such proposals and to ingrain high quality place making outcomes from the outset of the process. This includes focusing on the delivery issues and infrastructure requirements associated with each proposal which, due to the scale and extent of the proposals, is considered to require more detailed assessment. Subject to the progression of the Local Plan review it is expected that this will ultimately culminate in a business plan for the establishment of a delivery vehicle (up to and including the formation of a Development Corporation) to support such development.
