Planning committee

Decided by Mid Devon Planning Committee on 19 Aug 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the change would retain the land’s open character and would not remove usable public open space.
  • No consultation responses or public representations had been received, while members discussed parking, service posts and the site’s tree.
  • The committee granted permission subject to conditions after an amendment was carried, with some members voting against or abstaining.
