Help shape how East Devon’s heritage is preserved in the years up until 2042, by taking part in the district council's consultation on a new Heritage Strategy
A wide range of nationally and internationally important historic and archaeological sites spanning thousands of years can be found across East Devon. From Iron Age Hillforts to Roman camps, Medieval places of worship, and historic farms, to World War II airfields, and Georgian and Edwardian residences, these sites are valued by locals and draw in visitors from far and wide.
View the Heritage Strategy (2020-2042) on the council website, which provides a summary of local history, its significance, and its benefits. It also sets out objectives for the future, with an action plan for how recommendations will be delivered.
Share your feedback by filling in the form on the council website and emailing PlanningPolicy@eastdevon.gov.uk. The deadline for responses is 9am on Monday 26 January 2026.
If you, or someone you know requires paper versions of the strategy or feedback form, email engagement@eastdevon.gov.uk or call 01404 515 616. Please submit this request at least four days before the consultation closes, so that the response is received before the deadline.
