DNPA - sites consultation with larger settlements

Dartmoor National Park Authority is reviewing the Local Plan for Dartmoor.  The Local Plan is the basis for all planning decisions in the National Park, and in some towns and villages also identifies areas for future housing or employment development.  We are starting to talk with communities about their thoughts on where may be the most appropriate place for housing or employment development which may be needed locally.  We will be attending open meetings with the Parish and Town Councils of Dartmoor’s largest settlements over the coming weeks.  These are the towns and villages where we expect we will need to allocate some land for development.  At these meetings we will talk about the Local Plan review, the process for identifying potential sites, and the options which we can consider in each community.
