The Greater Exeter Strategic Plan, an emerging plan proposing the spatial strategy and level of housing and employment land across the four Devon council areas of East Devon, Exeter, Mid Devon and Teignbridge, has been dealt a blow after East Devon councillors recommended pulling out of the process.
The GESP had proposed some 53,000 houses be built across those four areas between 2020 and 2040, as Cllr Claire Wright explained.

An eight week consultation on the document was due to take place this Autumn, but following the decision of East Devon, that will not be taking place now, with Exeter, Teignbridge and Mid Devon councils now facing discussions over how and if they proceed with the GESP.
