Live consultations

We hold consultations so that people who live and work in Teignbridge can have a say, providing an opportunity to influence and be assured that their views will have been considered as part of the decision making process.

Although we do not always need to hold a public consultation on all aspects of our work, we are committed to consulting on a proportionate and practical basis as appropriate.

To help us get this right, we have adopted five consultation principles to inform when and how we will consult:

1. We will consult on key issues and proposals
2. We will consult in good time
3. We will be inclusive but within clear and appropriate limits
4. We will consult using clear, simple information
5. We will ensure responses are taken into account when decisions are made
