Neighbourhood Development Plans were introduced by the 2011 Localism Act, to give local people more say about the scale and nature of development in their area, within the context of both strategic planning policy in the National Planning Policy Framework 2012, and local plans – in our case, the adopted East Devon Local Plan 2013-2031. The Uplyme Neighbourhood Plan relates to the whole of the Parish and includes a wide range of topics: housing, employment, community facilities, transport, and the built and natural environment. The Plan will run until 2031 to coincide with the end date of the Local Plan, but may need to be reviewed before then. The Plan has been drafted by local people in the Uplyme Neighbourhood Plan Group, following extensive community consultation and engagement over a period of years, followed by an examination by an independent Planning Inspector. We believe that the plan represents a broad consensus of local opinion. Chris James Chair Uplyme Parish Council & Neighbourhood Plan Group July 2017 Dedication This Plan is dedicated to the memory of Peter Roy Whiting, former Chairman of both the Parish Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Group. Without his encyclopaedic technical knowledge of planning and civil engineering, his puckish wit, enthusiasm and dedication, the project would have struggled in its formative stage. Peter – your presence is sadly missed.

You will be delighted to hear that days/dates have been triple checked and, hopefully, no- one should turn up for a walk on the wrong day! The annual summary of OVA walks, published in full on the website, highlights that members are walking more regularly and further. The total number of walks which took place from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015 rose to 63 (from 56 in 2013/14) with 412 miles covered. The number of walkers increased from 498 to 643 in the same period. According to the statistics OVA members walked a staggering total of 4,154 miles during the year!
