Summer 2017 Consultation
We are now entering the final stages of the Torquay Neighbourhood Plan.
Below you will find links to all of the latest documents on which you are invited to comment.
You will also see that we have designated sites for housing and green spaces that we believe should be protected from development. This will be the last opportunity to comment and ensure that green spaces that are of special significance are protected so please make sure that we have not missed one that is important to you!
Why does the Neighbourhood plan include Local Green Space designation? This is a way to provide special protection against development for green areas of particular importance to local communities.
The Consultation will commence on Monday 7th August and will end on Sunday 17th September
Hard copies of the plan and supporting documents can be found at
Torbay Community Development Trust offices located at
4-8 Temperance Street, TQ2 5PU

The Plan
Read The latest Plan Here (please see above for the updated plan following the statutory consultation)
In September 2011 representatives from all 16 Torbay Community Partnerships met and agreed to the request from Torbay Council to establish Neighbourhood Fora to lead the preparation of Neighbourhood Plans for Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. It was agreed that each town would become individual “Neighbourhoods” each to formulate its own NP, which would in turn form part of and work with, the Council’s Local Plan (formerly known as the Core Strategy) for the whole of Torbay, itself the basis for development decisions over the next up to twenty years.
In October 2011 a meeting attended by the Mayor, Torbay Councillors, Officers, and Community Partnership Chairs was held. Following that meeting Terma of Reference and outline project plans were drawn up and submitted to Government for approval in November. This was – and still is – a unique venture comprising three towns within one unitary authority applying for approval for three NP proposals which would hopefully meld with the eventual Council Local Plan.
