Little Bickington Farm

Preparations for the start of the development are moving forward:

  • Work is nearing completion to enable the making of an application for the discharge of the various planning conditions.
  • Formal offers of development finance have been received from three banks. These are, at the time of writing, under consideration.
  • We are actively pursuing other grants and loans to meet the costs of the affordable housing, workspace and renewable energy installations which comprise Phase 1.

    • The Mobilisation works (hedge realignment and removal of topsoil etc) are scheduled to start in early February and, assuming all funding is in place, infrastructure and building work should commence in April.

    Local residents, in housing need, who wish to make an application for one of the Equity Purchase or Rental properties to be constructed in this first phase should contact David Venner at The Project Office, The Meeting Point, North Rd, High Bickington, Umberleigh. North Devon, EX37 9BB. Telephone: 01769 560161 (Thursdays & Fridays only) or by Email to david.venner@high-bickington.co.uk
