Views sought on new plans for Bovey Tracey and Heathfield

Residents in Bovey Tracey and Heathfield are being asked for views on new plans for the parish as the council sets out ideas in a draft Community Masterplan.

The council has recently been working with local residents in workshops to come up with the draft, which is now going out to consultation as the authority aims to get even more local views.

Planners from Teignbridge District Council will be in and around Bovey Tracey and Heathfield over the next couple of weeks, listening to residents' wishes for the future. 

Topics including new homes, parking, open spaces, the local economy and more are all up for debate as the council works with local residents to finalise their Community Masterplan. 

The document will go on to play a big part in long-term plans for the area through the emerging Local Development Framework.
