Mid Devon Planning Consultants
Mid Devon includes Tiverton, Crediton, and Cullompton. Planning focuses on rural villages, market towns, and conservation-led residential growth. Known for historic architecture and countryside landscapes, development balances heritage and housing needs. We can advise and support projects throughout Mid Devon.
In the last year Mid Devon decided 675 applications which is well below the national average of 988. The approval rate was 94% (marginally above the national average of 88%) and 60% of applications were decided on time, (on par with the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how Mid Devon performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.

Development in the Open Countryside
Mid Devon includes areas classed as Open Countryside, generally encompassing land beyond settlements and Green Belt zones, often used for agriculture or left as natural landscapes. Development in these areas is tightly controlled, with standard residential proposals rarely permitted.
Mid Devon includes the Exe Valley and surrounding agricultural land, as well as the hills around Tiverton, where development is restricted to protect scenic landscapes and biodiversity.
One of the top reasons poorly prepared proposals in the Open Countryside are refused is that they fail to demonstrate a policy-supported need. To minimise that risk with bespoke advice contact us here.
