The Villages Plan forms part of a series of documents that set out policies and proposals for land use planning in East Devon. The East Devon Local Plan (adopted 2016) sets out the planning strategy on which the Villages Plan is based. 
The scope of the villages plan is largely confined to defining ‘Built-up Area Boundaries’ for some of the larger East Devon villages and the town of Beer. It also includes policies for the vitality of the centres of Beer and Colyton and maps showing the extent of authorised business uses at the business parks of Greendale and Hill Barton.

Once the dates for a hearing have been agreed, further details will be sent to those who made formal comments asking to be notified and will also be made available online. 
 
Ian Kemp has been appointed as the Programme Officer for the Examination and will deal with any procedural, administrative and programming matters to do with the examination. He is independent from the Council and reports directly to the Inspector.
