Why it was refused
- The proposed retail store, by reason of its height, length and proximity and elevated position relative to residential properties in Elm Park, would result in an overbearing and overly dominant relationship to the detriment of the living conditions of the occupiers of these properties. As such the proposal is contrary to policy DEV1 of the adopted Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
