150 new homes coming to North Devon

A major new housing development is set to bring 150 homes to the village of Landkey, near Barnstaple. 

Regional housebuilder Allison Homes South West has announced the exchange of contracts on the site, marking a significant step forward in the project.

The development will offer a variety of homes, ranging from one- to five-bedroom properties, designed to cater to diverse lifestyles and needs. Importantly, 45 of these homes will be designated as affordable housing, provided through a Housing Association to ensure local people have access to affordable living options.

Steve Fowler, Managing Director at Allison Homes South West, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating: “We’re very excited to announce that we have contracted on our latest development in the region. This is an exciting step towards the growth of Allison Homes. We’re looking forward to investing in the area and bringing much-needed, high-quality family homes to the beautiful village of Landkey.”

Mr Fowler highlighted the energy efficiency of the new homes, noting that they will be designed with superior insulation, modern heating systems, and low-energy appliances. 

He said: “We take pride in providing people with homes that are energy efficient, enabling residents to live more comfortably and benefit from having lower monthly bills.”

The development aims to support local communities by offering homes that will particularly benefit first-time buyers and young families, helping them get a foothold on the property ladder in Devon.

Residents of the new development will enjoy the amenities Landkey has to offer, including an OFSTED-rated ‘good’ primary school, a village store, post office, tea room, pub, and Parish hall.

Pending the approval of reserved matters planning, construction is expected to begin in early 2025.
