Project Information

Who are we?

This consultation is being run in partnership by Plymouth City Council, South Hams District Council and West Devon Borough Council. It is being run and managed by our Joint Local Plan Team. 

What is this all about?

This will be the first part of a conversation to help us with our long term planning over the next decade.

Initially we want to know what you feel about: 

• Your local facilities, services and open spaces;
• The types of places you like most and why; 
• Using online services and online shopping; and 
• The places you would like to see change in the next five to ten years. 

The more people who take part, the more we will understand how you feel about the area you live in and what changes you may want to see in the future.

How can I get involved?

There are a couple of places where we would like your views each represented by a tile on this site. 

Each tile should take less than five minutes to complete and you can come back to leave further comments if you are busy. 

The tiles are: 

1. Take a quick survey - a brief questionnaire about how you feel about local services, open spaces and shops in your area and online.
2. Add a comment on our map - drop a pin anywhere on a map to tell us about the places which work and you would like to protect and the places you would like to see change in the next 10 years. 

What will you do with my comments?

We will be reporting on the findings of the consultation in our My Place My Views Update this winter. 

Your views will support discussions with wider public service operators and community groups about our community facilities and public spaces. 

The results will help our councils and community groups to identify priority areas when applying for central government investment and planning local infrastructure improvements. 

Your views will also be a resource for local groups who are considering preparing their own Neighbourhood Plans to help shape the places they live. 

How can I get in touch?

There will be the opportunity to sign up for updates on the Joint Local Plan through this page.

If enough people ask us similar questions, we will also feature the question on our frequently asked questions page (FAQ) when launched in October.
