Devonia Site - Consultation

Land at Devonia Products (Axminster Carpets), Buckfastleigh

Dartmoor National Park Authority recently published and consulted on a new Plan for Dartmoor.

This Plan, the 'DMD', includes areas identified for new development, such as housing or

employment uses.

During the consultation the owners of the Axminster Carpets site in Buckfastleigh submitted a

response stating that the site is being vacated, apart from the Devonia products building, and

should be considered for redevelopment for mixed uses involving business, retail, leisure and

residential uses.

We are keen to hear your views on the redevelopment of this site. You may like to think about

the following questions as a basis for your comments.

Should this site be redeveloped for other uses?

What business uses might be appropriate? (For example, should there be small employment units,

a single large employer; should there be industrial units or warehousing?)

What retail uses might be appropriate? (For example, would Buckfastleigh support a larger

convenience shop?)

What leisure uses might be appropriate? (For example, what does the community of Buckfastleigh

need, what tourist opportunities might be considered?)

What residential uses might be appropriate? (For example, what type of housing does

Buckfastleigh need?)

Is there anything else you think should be considered as part of any redevelopment?
