Towns, Villages and Development Sites
See our 'Quick Guide' for a brief overview of how we consider housing sites for allocation in the Local Plan and how you can get involved in the process.
Development Site Briefs
We have created Site Briefs for each allocation included in the Local Plan. They are designed to be planning advice notes to accompany the Local Plan, summarising the key considerations for the site drawn from existing sources, and should be read alongside the Local Plan. They do not set new or additional requirements for the site.
Site specific plans
This information can also be found on our 'Site specifics plans' webpage.
Settlement Profiles
Profiles have been compiled for each settlement in the National Park. Each profile includes population and housing statistics, an overview of services, facilities, sports pitches, play space and employment land as well as information on strategic planning policies and constraints affecting each settlement. The profiles have been revised in response to comments received from a Parish/Town Council consultation.
Land Availability Assessment (LAA)
The LAA is a technical exercise which assesses the amount of land that could be made available for housing or employment development. The LAA process creates a pool of sites from which appropriate development sites are chosen through the local plan process.
> See LAA page for further information
Brownfield Register
The 2017 regulations introduced the requirement for all local planning authorities in England to prepare, maintain and publish registers of previously developed land within their area that they consider appropriate for residential development (brownfield land registers). Our register is available below.
If you wish for a site to be added to this register please contact the Forward Planning Team at forwardplanning@dartmoor.gov.uk.
