Concern as industrial units can be built on ancient road

June 04, 2025

THE go-ahead has been given for industrial units on the site of an ancient road through the South Devon countryside.

Archaeologists have already examined the road at Sherford which was used as a trading route more than 2,000 years ago. A new business park will go up on the site despite opposition from some local councillors.

With the road already excavated and examined, it will now be protected under the soil from which the business park will emerge.

Members of South Hams Council's development management committee voted in favour of a plan to dig 'platforms' into the land beside the A38 near Plympton.
