Design Guidance

There is existing Mid-Devon District Council design guidance for windows and doors, and roofs and chimneys.

There are further Mid-Devon District Council initiatives on design guidance:

• There is also design guidance for the Eastern Urban Extension
• A comprehensive 4 volume set of planning guidance – see the Cabinet Report from November 2019, and outlines of the 4 volumes and supporting documents.
• Public consultation on the new Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) has now closed [updated 16 Sep 2020].
• The Eastern Urban Extension Area B Master Plan also includes elements of design guidance. Public consultation finished in April 2020.

Also relevant is a Knightshayes Setting Study, which, amongst other things, covers the important views of and from Knightshayes.

Additionally, design guidance has been worked-up by our consultants AECOM, funded by Government grant. This has been delivered . It takes account of existing and proposed design guidance and goes into more detail of some aspects.  See the full report in the Documents section.
