AN Exeter firm has made moves towards building up to 150 homes in the gardens of Indio House, Bovey Tracey.

Agents acting for Waddeton Park Ltd have approached Teignbridge Council asking if its planning application, when submitted, will need a formal environmental impact assessment.

The site has been included in the draft Plan Teignbridge 20-year development vision
