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 (Sep 2020). 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.
