Housing Survey

John Scott of the Community Council of Devon has informed us that there was a 48% response rate to the Parish Housing Needs Survey, conducted in August on our behalf. Apparently this is a very good response rate for this type of survey. We look forward to receiving their detailed analysis and report in the next few weeks. The overall results will be made public although individual responses will of course remain confidential.

Future plans

The meeting with Devon and Torridge Chief Executives and others on May 25th, at which the revised plans were discussed, was generally positive and as a result the process of preparing the new planning application has started. It is hoped that this will be ready for submission by early November. A Joint Statement was issued following the meeting and this is reproduced below.
