Housing SPD
The Authority adopted the Housing SPD on 1st December 2023. The Housing SPD provides guidance to support the delivery of housing in Dartmoor National Park, it:
- provides detailed guidance on how to use Local Plan housing policies
- clarifies the Authority's expectations of housing development;
- helps applicants make successful and streamlined applications which are good for Dartmoor and its communities; and
- helps ensure the Authority makes consistent, robust and streamlined decisions on planning applications.
Together with the Local Plan, the Housing SPD forms a material planning consideration when we decide planning applications. It replaces the 2014 Affordable Housing SPD.
