National Guidance of importance to Sidmouth

This is not an exhaustive list but rather an attempt to collect together, in one page, things which people might be searching for. We are not professionals and while we will try to keep it all up to date it is not to be relied on. Please check for yourself that you have the most recent versions of documents.

This page is made up of two sections. Guidance from Government or those who report to Government and help shape policy; and Reports and Research commissioned by such bodies or other authoritative sources.
