South West Devon New Housing Seminar – 8th February 2019

Is the scale of housing development right for South West Devon?
South West Devon’s Real Housing Need seminar.

Have you noticed how many new houses are being built in Devon? And how many are being built in South West Devon? In Tavistock and Okehampton? Do we need so many? What is the genuine underlying need?

To objectively assess the situation, we commissioned an independent study undertaken by a leading research firm, ORS, (Opinion Research Services) and the evidence-based findings are produced in a comprehensive report, launched in October last year and summarised at this seminar. This research cuts a swathe through official figures and reveals the truth about the real housing need.

Please join us at our special seminar on 8th February 2019 10am-1pm. At The Bedford Hotel, Plymouth Road, TAVISTOCK.

Speakers: Tom Jones, Head of Place Making, South Hams District Council/West Devon Borough Council.
Dr Phillip Bratby – Devon Housing Need Report – Summary of key findings.

All welcome. Admission by ticket only. CPRE Members – free admission. Non members – £5, including refreshments.
