Housing and development in Devon

Overview

Development activity in Devon has focused on housing and agricultural infrastructure. Initial reports detailed planning applications for a house of multiple occupancy (HMO) conversion in Newton Abbot and a multi-million pound agri-business centre near Holsworthy.

Subsequent developments highlighted efforts to address housing shortages. In North Devon, a site acquisition by the Octopus Affordable Housing Fund was secured to deliver 150 affordable homes, supported by Homes England funding. Additionally, Devon County Council welcomed a government policy reversal that maintains affordable housing requirements for medium-sized developments of 10 to 49 homes, a measure deemed critical for rural areas.
