Neither pestilence nor plague can be allowed to get in the way of achieving EDDC’s aim of build, build, build. Driven by a plan to create just under 1,000 jobs a year, and Heart of the South West’s plan to double the (2018) economy in 20 years.

The end of the Ben Ingham/Tory regime can’t come soon enough.

A housing developer recently announced the start of its next phase of home building for Cranbrook.

Taylor Wimpey Exeter said the fifth phase of development at East Devon’s newest town, Cranbrook, was launched last month and includes two, three and four-bedroom homes.

Melissa Langton, for the housing developer, said “We’re really excited to launch the fifth phase of our Cranbrook development this year.

“Our site team has been working incredibly hard ahead of the launch, and we can’t wait to welcome people to site when we open our doors.”

Cranbrook resident Matt Rowett – in support of the new homes – said his move to the town was driven by community spirit and the being located near Exeter.

He said: “One of the main reasons for coming out to Cranbrook was to upsize as we now have a one-year-old son.

“I can definitely see him growing up here, making lots of friends and attending the local school.”
