Richard Short, assistant director of city development, said: "Presently there is only one major housebuilder on site in Exeter. These decisions will enable starts to be made next year on half a dozen other sites enabling the completion of many more new homes. This will provide much needed housing, including affordable homes, fund infrastructure and create local employment."
The council's planning committee also raised no objection to a school extension, approved details of a hotel and agreed the expansion of Exeter Chiefs' Sandy Park to a 20,000 capacity stadium with major new conference facilities.
