Teignbridge District Council does not make planning decisions about land within Dartmoor National Park, and none of the planning documents we produce apply to that area. Their planning information is available on their website, linked above or in the offsite links list.
Current Planning Policies
Five documents are currently part of the Development Plan for the area, being "primary considerations" in dealing with planning applications.
Adopted Local Plan was adopted in 1996 and most of its policies were "saved" by order of the Secretary of State in 2007. It contains detailed policies and proposals for the development and use of land.
RPG10 Regional Planning Guidance for the South West was published by the Government in 2001, and sets out strategic level considerations. The Government is proposing to abolish Regional Strategies, but in the meantime this document is still material.
Devon Structure Plan was adopted in 2004 and its policies were "saved" by order of the Secretary of State in 2007. It provides strategic level policies for Devon, including Teignbridge. It was prepared by Devon County Council. The Government is proposing to revoke this saving direction effectively abolishing Structure Plans, but in the meantime this document is still material.
Devon County Minerals Local Plan (2004) was adopted in 2004 by Devon County Council and most of its policies were saved by order of the Secretary of State in 2007. It deals with proposals related to the extraction of minerals. These applications are determined by Devon County Council not Teignbridge District Council.
Devon County Waste Local Plan (2006) was adopted by Devon County Council in 2006 and its policies were saved by order of the Secretary of State in 2009. It deals with proposals related to waste. These applications are determined by Devon County Council not Teignbridge District Council.

Trees and Development Supplementary Planning Document (October 2005) [4Mb] was adopted in 2005.
Planning Advice Notes
We also prepare Planning Guidance notes which are not formal planning policy but provide helpful guidance and advice to applicants.
Interim Policy
The Council has agreed to approve the Draft Employment Land Supplementary Planning Document for consultation and adopt it as interim development management policy to be taken into account in the consideration of relevant planning applications.
