Dawlish doesn't have a Neighbourhood Plan. Other parishes do though. There was an attempt some 4/5 (?) years back to get people involved to produce one but nothing came of it.
Are you confusing the terminology Neighbourhood Plan with that of Local Plan?
(There was however, back in 2012, a 'Neighbourhood Plan' produced by the good people of Dawlish but this was all part of a pilot project to do with Localism and as it turned out this Neighbourhood Plan was ruled to be invalid as it didn't conform to the required rules and regulations. It could therefore never be adopted officially as part of the planning process with respect to Dawlish. I guess those who had put in so much time and effort in this 2012 pilot thought 'to hell with it' when the request for producing a second Neighbourhood Plan was asked of them.)
