A public exhibition will be held today on plans for a major development between Seaton and Colyford.

Baker Estates has recently acquired an interest in land either side of Harepath Road, Seaton, to the north of Rowan Drive (to the west) and Drovers Way (to the east).

Part of the land is already allocated for a mixed employment and recreation development in the adopted Local Plan; the working draft of the new Local Plan proposes to allocate the same land, plus additional land immediately to the north and east of the existing allocation for around 150 dwellings and 0.6 hectares of land for employment development.

Baker Estates said: "We believe that there is an opportunity to deliver a well-planned, mixed-use development with a new sports pitch for Seaton as well as a range of housing opportunities, similar to our existing developments at Rowan Drive and Barnards Hill."

Several previous applications for the area have been heavily opposed by residents of Seaton and Colyford.

A public exhibition on the plans will be held today (Tuesday) at the United Reformed Church Hall in Cross Street, Seaton, from 3pm to 7.30pm.

Plans will be on display and the local community is invited to attend, where project team will be on hand to talk through proposals and answer questions. 

If you cannot attend on the day, all the information on display will be posted online later this week.
