Keep Plymouth's "Devil's Point" a Green Space

The Issue

Urban Splash plan to develop Devil's Point reservoir and car park to service nearby Royal William Yard and intend to develop a hotel and housing on the site which would see one of Plymouth's iconic and historic green spaces altered beyond recognition. (Planning application references: 16/01376/FUL and 16/01377/LBC)

The site is used by many people from all walks of life, whether it be for fishing, walking/dog-walking, cycling, water-sports, tourism - even just a family outing / pic-nic - and it would be a real shame if Plymouth lets this happen to yet another historic green space coming under threat from a developer.

Urban Splash are the company responsible for Royal William Yard and they intend to change Devil's Point drastically in order to service their already sizable development and add a hotel and housing in future. If Urban Splash's proposal is allowed to go through unopposed, Plymouth will lose another well-loved green space forever.

With enough signatures and support we can push Plymouth City Council to reconsider this planning permission and potential future development which will see a beloved part of Plymouth changed forever. Please sign this petition to oppose this proposed development before it is too late!
