Mid Devon Housing Talk – Tiverton. Saturday 9th November 2019

We were delighted to be the guest speakers at the National Trust Culm & Exe Valley group’s meeting in Tiverton on 9th November. It was a pleasure to meet everybody and to have the opportunity to present our Devon Housing Needs report and to discuss planning proposals in the area. Mid Devon’s countryside is under threat from so much development. We need to ensure the right number of homes, the right type of homes and in the right locations are built. Brownfield First!
