What PlanWatch Is Tracking in Teignbridge

PlanWatch currently holds 1,206 Teignbridge planning records across 714 unique postcode locations, with tracked application dates from 2026-01-12 to 2026-10-27. The most common categories in this dataset are Full (371), Householder (135), Tree Works (132).

Use this page to start with a postcode search, then open the official council record for the decision notice, drawings, consultation deadline and any later conditions. That matters because a short application description rarely shows the details neighbours and buyers care about: side windows, roof forms, access, drainage, tree works, opening hours or amended plans.

Check approved drawings

Match drawing numbers and revision letters before relying on a plan.

Read conditions

Find conditions that control privacy, noise, drainage, materials or timing.

Write a useful objection

Keep comments factual, specific and tied to material planning issues.

Wolborough Development (NA3 Site)

2023

Vistry Homes proposed 1,200 homes on edge of Newton Abbot at Wolborough, including school and care homes. Decade-long dispute over environmental impact on Wolborough Fen SSSI (rare wetland). Council opposed, citing risks to fen hydrology. Stop notice issued April 2025 but expired, work resumed. Public inquiry scheduled April 2026.

Why this matters: Shows tension between housing need and environmental protection. Developer resources vs council legal capacity is unequal.
