Site Allocation Development Plan Documents (DPDs) for Dartmouth, Ivybridge, Kingsbridge, Totnes and the Rural Areas were published on 30 April for public consultation until Friday 2 July 2010.

The purpose of the Examination is for an independent Inspector to assess whether the DPDs are "sound". The Examination public hearings are likely to take place in late autumn 2010.
The five Site Allocation DPDs identify sites for needed development of housing (especially affordable homes), employment and associated community facilities to 2016 and beyond:
Dartmouth Site Allocations DPD
