Affordable Housing

Do you live or work in the Cheriton Bishop/Crockernwell area, and want to find affordable housing in the village? (For rent, or for purchase at less than current house prices) Do you know of someone in this position whether family or friend? Perhaps someone who grew up in the village and would like to return? 

If so please get the form at the bottom back to us, the ‘Straw Poll’ group.  If there is no need then affordable housing won’t be pursued.

You can either:

·        Drop the form into the box at Checkers village shop, or to Woodleigh Coach House Cafe

·        Send it to the Parish Clerk Derek Madge, 49 Crockwells Road , Exminster, Exeter EX6 8DH or email: cheritonbishop.pc@btinternet.com, or 

·        Phone Gill Westcott at 01647 24789, from whom you can also find out more details.

 

This information will be confidential. We will use it to:-

      a) push for more affordable housing to be built in the village

      b) seek planning and raise finance for a Community Land Trust to create housing that will   

           stay affordable in the village.

 

Incidentally, if any non-CLT affordable housing comes up in the village, to be able to apply for it people will have to be on Mid Devon’s housing waiting list, or Teignbridge if you are on that side.  This is a completely separate and extra thing from responding to our straw poll.  You can do this by registering at http://www.devonhomechoice.com/Data/ASPPages/1/226.aspx or by contacting the local housing team at the District Council.
