Where does this planning application data come from?
Every application on this page comes from Exeter City Council's public planning register (publicaccess.exeter.gov.uk). Plota collects it, adds a map location and a category, and links each record back to the council's own entry, which is the authoritative version.
How often is this page updated?
Plota checks Exeter City Council's register every day and adds new applications, status changes and decisions as the council publishes them. The register was last checked on 8 Oct 2026.
Where can I see the plans and documents for an application?
Plans, drawings and officer reports are held on Exeter City Council's own website. Where the council publishes a document list, it appears on the application's page here with each item linking to the council's copy; otherwise the "View original council record" link on every application opens the council's entry.
