Correction to my post dated 2nd December. The number of homes being built by Persimmon is 190 (the other 10 allocated for the site are, I believe, for self build). So the actual percentage of Affordable Homes being built on the Persimmon site (22 out of a build of 190) is 11.58% Half a home anyone?
Some Teignbridge Housing Need facts "As our population grows older, we need homes that people can live in independently for longer. By 2039: • 1 in 3 Teignbridge residents will be 65 years or older • 1 in 8 will be aged over 80 House prices are more than 10 times the average household salary.

Used this car park today. Haven't been there for ages so what I am about to say may be very old news but I thought I'd post it as I was unaware of it. The parent and child car parking spaces are located on level F. This is the level where the bridge from the car park, above and across the road below, leads straight to an entrance to Primark and thence to the Guildhall shopping mall . This ...
