There are 38 Priorities in our LAA and each priority is underpinned by a multi-agency delivery plan. The priorities are grouped under the seven Sustainable Community Strategy themes. Click on the themes below to view the priority delivery plans.

  1. A World Class Environment - Supporting our County's world class natural environment, our built environment and cultural heritage to improve the look and feel of the places where we live.
  2. Strong and Inclusive Communities - Working to ensure strong, prosperous and inclusive communities with a sustainable and vibrant future.
  3. A Growing Economy - Creating the conditions to enable Devon to have a strong and growing economy, and ensuring maximum opportunities are available for everyone to contribute to and benefit from it.
  4. Homes and Housing - Ensuring the availability and balance of appropriate housing.
  5. Inspiring Young People - Inspiring our County's young people to achieve their best and supporting them in tackling the issues that concern them most.
  6. Health and Wellbeing - Promoting health and personal wellbeing for all so that people are as healthy as possible.
  7. A Safer Devon - Tackling behaviour that intimidates, hurts or offends people in Devon.

There are also three cross cutting themes:

  1. Diversity and Equality
  2. Accessibility and Demographic Change.
  3. Climate Change, and our Impact on the Environment.

The LAA also includes reference to how local partners will contribute to the LAA priorities.
