HCA Executive Director for the South and South West Colin Molton said: "The new community of Sherford is an incredibly important project, because it will go a long way towards meeting the significant need for new homes in Devon and Plymouth and provide a major boost for the economy. It is a complex development, which has taken years to bring to this stage. It is fantastic news that investment has been approved which will support the development of the sustainable new community of Sherford. I look forward to seeing work start on the project soon."
Christine Parker, from the development project team at Futures Housing Group, said: "We're excited about investing in South Normanton and providing a range of two and three-bedroom homes to local families. Both local people and Bolsover District Council recognise the need for more affordable homes, where it's reported house prices are nearly six times the average income. This scheme will make best use of land by rebuilding quality, affordable homes on brownfield sites. Were delighted to be extending our reach for the benefit of residents in neighbouring areas to those we have traditionally covered."
"We're pleased to say that we will finish on today and we'd like to thank everyone for their patience during this work."
Liz Peace, Chief Executive of the BPF, said: "Changes to the judicial review process are long overdue and whilst these reforms mark a step in the direction, further consideration needs to be given to sensible measures that would expedite the process."
