A major hybrid planning application for Area B of the Tiverton Eastern Urban Extension has been submitted to Mid Devon District Council. The land sits south of Post Hill and Mayfair, west of Manley Lane. A council public notice was published on 4 August 2026.
The scheme is lodged by Westcountry Land Tiverton Ltd under reference 25/01652/MOUT. It is accompanied by an Environmental Statement and is within 10 metres of relevant railway land.
The notice states the proposal may affect a public right of way, the setting of listed buildings and the character or appearance of a conservation area.
A hybrid application combines detailed permission for some parts of a site with outline permission for others. Matters left in outline will need later approval through reserved matters applications before they can be built.
An Environmental Statement accompanies proposals that fall under the Town and Country Planning Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations 2017. It assesses likely significant effects, typically including transport, drainage and flood risk, ecology and biodiversity, landscape and visual impact, noise, and air quality.
The land lies near Manley Lane and Post Hill, Tiverton, close to postcodes including EX16 4NG and EX16 4NQ, within the wider Tiverton Eastern Urban Extension.
Up to 1,000 sqm of flexible commercial floorspace within Classes E and F.2 is proposed, alongside areas of public open space. Detailed designs for buildings and landscaping would follow at the reserved matters stage.
The detailed phase includes SUDS to manage surface water on site and a bat hotel to support local species. New pedestrian and cycle links are also proposed to improve connectivity.
The notice indicates the scheme may affect a public right of way, the setting of listed buildings and the character or appearance of a conservation area. These matters are expected to be assessed through the Environmental Statement and the council's consultation process.
The site is within 10 metres of relevant railway land, so rail infrastructure stakeholders are likely to be consulted to ensure safety and operational considerations are addressed.
Representations will be placed on the application file for inspection at Phoenix House and published on the council's website under access to information requirements. Comments the council considers inappropriate may be removed.
The public notice was published in the Mid Devon Gazette Series. For full documentation, including the Environmental Statement, search the council's planning portal using reference 25/01652/MOUT or refer to the public notice details.
