LAND AT PENNPARKS, MODBURY

OUR DEVELOPMENT

Welcome to our community website where you can learn more about our proposals for up to 40 new homes (including affordable housing) and public open space on Land at PennParks, Modbury.

The site lies to the west of the centre of Modbury, immediately to the north of the A379 and to the west of the New Mills Industrial Estate; it is shown in red in the plans below. The site is allocated for around 40 new homes in the adopted Plymouth & South West Devon Joint Local Plan (Policy TTV24).

We submitted an outline application to South Hams District Council (0384/23/OPA). However, this was unfortunately refused in April 2024. We have since appealed this decision with the Planning Inspectorate and are awaiting further details.
