Emerging Local Plan
East Devon District Council is preparing a new Local Plan 2020 to 2040 that is expected to ultimately replace the existing Local Plan, that covered the period 2013 to 2031, as well as replacing the Villages Plan and potentially, at a future point in time, the Cranbrook Plan. For more information go here.

East Devon Local Development Plan 2013 to 2031
This new EDDC Local Development Plan contains planning policy through to 2031. It comprises:
• Part One – the Strategic policies of the plan.
• Part Two – the Development Management Policies of the Plan.
If we produce a Kilmington Neighbourhood Plan it will:
- be in accordance with and apply the Strategic Policies of Part One but,
- it can supersede or overwrite the Development Management Policies in Part Two of the Plan.

EDDC Villages Plan
This EDDC Local Development Plan includes a Villages Plan which is specifically concerned with development boundaries around villages, allocations of land for development at these villages and other spatially defined policies that may be applicable to villages. The Villages Plan, together with the Local Plan and any ‘made’ neighbourhood plans, form the ‘Development Plan’ for East Devon, which guides decisions on development and land use in East Devon. Built-up Area Boundaries are shown as ‘black lines’ drawn on maps around certain settlements to distinguish, in planning policy terms, the main ‘built-up area’ from ‘the countryside’. Within the defined ‘built-up areas’ planning policies establish, in principle, acceptance of many forms of development, but outside of the ‘built-up areas’, in the ‘countryside’, development is usually only acceptable in specific exceptional circumstances. |

The EDDC Villages Plan defines the ‘Built-up Area Boundary’ around Kilmington. In principle therefore, development in Kilmington will be centred within the BUAB black line, increasing the density of the existing village settlement.
However, where a local community prepares a Neighbourhood Plan they may specifically allocate sites and/or include criteria based or other policies for promoting development/ land uses beyond the boundary.

Strategy 6 - Development within Built-Up Area Boundaries
Built-up Area Boundaries are defined on the Proposals Map around the settlements of East Devon that are considered appropriate through strategic policy to accommodate growth and development. Within the boundaries development will be permitted if:
1. It would be compatible with the character of the site and its surroundings and in villages with the rural character of the settlement.
2. It would not lead to unacceptable pressure on services and would not adversely affect risk of flooding or coastal erosion.
3. It would not damage, and where practical, it will support promotion of wildlife, landscape, townscape or historic interests.
4. It would not involve the loss of land of local amenity importance or of recreational value;
5. It would not impair highway safety or traffic flows.
6. It would not prejudice the development potential of an adjacent site.
For the main Local Plan the boundaries relate to the Towns of East Devon. For our Villages they will be defined in the Villages Development Plan Document.
Where a local community prepare a Neighbourhood Plan they may specifically allocate sites and/or include criteria based or other policies for promoting development/land uses beyond the boundary. Such ‘outside of boundaries’ policy provision would supersede relevant constraint considerations set out in ‘Strategy 7 - Development in the Countryside’ and also other relevant constraint policies.
Strategy 7 - Development in the Countryside
The countryside is defined as all those parts of the plan area that are outside the Built-up Area Boundaries and outside of site specific allocations shown on the Proposals Map. Development in the countryside will only be permitted where it is in accordance with a specific Local or Neighbourhood Plan policy that explicitly permits such development and where it would not harm the distinctive landscape, amenity and environmental qualities within which it is located, including:
1. Land form and patterns of settlement.
2. Important natural and manmade features which contribute to the local landscape character, including topography, traditional field boundaries, areas of importance for nature conservation and rural buildings.
3. The adverse disruption of a view from a public place which forms part of the distinctive character of the area or otherwise causes significant visual intrusions.

The countryside is defined as all those parts of the plan area that are outside the Built-up Area Boundaries and outside of site specific allocations shown on the Proposals Map. Development in the countryside will only be permitted where it is in accordance with a specific Local or Neighbourhood Plan policy that explicitly permits such development and where it would not harm the distinctive landscape, amenity and environmental qualities within which it is located, including:
