We recently helped Barratt David Wilson Homes secure planning permission for 190 dwellings and a new community park at Redwood Drive, Plympton. The site was identified as informal open space in the Adopted Plan. Through our Open Space Assessment, we successfully argued that there would remain an adequate amount of open space in the ward whilst the new park would help address existing deficiencies.
