Planning Consultants in Devon
Devon contains two National Parks — Dartmoor and Exmoor — and extensive National Landscape coverage along its coastline. Planning in Devon must navigate National Park policy, high-quality agricultural land protection, coastal flood risk, and strong heritage assets in Exeter, Plymouth, and the historic fishing ports. Farm diversification, rural tourism, and equestrian development are common planning matters.
Common in Devon
Local planning authority: Devon County Council, district councils, Dartmoor National Park Authority, and Exmoor National Park Authority
