Local Government Reorganisation in Devon

The Government has opened a formal seven–week public consultation on proposals for local government reorganisation in Devon. This is your chance to submit your views.

This consultation will inform how local government across Devon, including Exeter and its surrounding areas, may be structured in the future and where responsibility and accountability for key decisions will sit.

Full details of the consultation and how to respond are available via the Devon LGR consultation hub: http://www.devonlgr.co.uk

Bishops Clyst Neighbourhood Plan adopted

On 06 November 2025, East Devon District Council decided to ‘make’ (adopt) the Clyst St Mary and Sowton (Bishops Clyst) Neighbourhood Plan (2023 to 2042), superseding the previous neighbourhood plan for this neighbourhood area, made in March 2017.  This means that the revised plan now forms part of the Development Plan for East Devon alongside any other made neighbourhood plans, the adopted East Devon Local Plan 2013-2031, and the Devon Minerals and Waste Plan.

This was following the successful referendum on 2 October 2025, where just over 80% of residents who voted were in favour of the Plan.
