As the documentation says:

Using with the run command There are a couple of special things to know about configuration when running your application with the run command.

Extra devSettings You can configure extra settings for the run command in your build.sbt. These settings won’t be used when you deploy your application.

devSettings := Map("play.server.http.port" -> "8080")

https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.4.x/Configuration

But when i run activator a type error is thrown:

Error:Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=384M; support was removed in 8.0

^

To use devSettings, you'd need to either use PlayKeys.devSettings, import PlayKeys._ or import PlayKeys.devSettings.

To change the development mode port, the code for setting the port in the framework is:

System.getProperty("https.port")

which shows that you'd need to use the -D flag to specify the port, or to create the development server yourself using NettyServer specifying the port as a parameter.
