Why it was refused

  1. The proposed amendments would remove restrictions on the spatial containment of the storage use within the site, and result in additional utilitarian and industrial development within the South Devon National Landscape. The increased spread and density of storage containers, together with the omission and erosion of approved on-site landscape mitigation, would adversely affect landscape character, visual amenity, existing trees and the delivery of effective screening. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies DEV23, DEV25 and DEV28 of the Plymouth and South West Devon Joint Local Plan (2014-2034) and paragraph 189 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2025).

From the council's decision notice.
