A large plot of land near Exeter Airport could be transformed into a sustainable business park after being given the green light for redevelopment by East Devon District Council.
The local authority has given its seal of approval to a planning document known as a local development order (LDO) for the site at Long Lane, opposite the Future Skills Centre near the transport hub.
The council’s planning committee said the LDO would enable a business park to be built at Power Park - part of the Exeter and East Devon Enterprise Zone - that would encourage investment and growth, and could create up to 500 new jobs in the county.
