Early morning dog swim in The Gannel opposite our Corisande development. Still looking great 10 years on - both dog and development are the same age.

APP/A0665/W/14/2212671 Darnhall School Lane - Yet another Secretary of State appeal decision determined by politics. Until this country removes politics from planning I fear this country will never efficiently deliver the homes it so badly needs....
With a proven track record of the delivery of high quality and well designed new homes, we agree with the Housing Secretary’s comments. There is no excuse for poor design. @thetimes: ow.ly/Qn3350wT6v3

Well done to those who took part in the annual Dragon Boat Race last weekend raising funds for @alzheimerssoc. A special thanks to D Wall Construction, Taylor Lewis & @bwmwindows, some of the companies working with us on The Liner and The Courtyard at Duporth, who kindly donated.

Some good points by Christopher Young QC @No5Chambers on planning issues the Government needs to address. Fingers crossed at least some are taken on board. ow.ly/5m4P50vkZmM

“A really important site for Frome and the most sustainable in the town” – our Planning & Regen Director Mel Clinton is pleased to be supporting @MendipCouncil’s plans and @AcornPG to regenerate the key Saxonvale site: somersetlive.co.uk/news/loca… #regeneration #builtenvironment
Analysis by @BBCNews predicts a decline in the number of young residents living in coastal communities. With significant investment of £100m across our Newquay sites, @AcornPG has transformed this coastal town into a thriving hub for young families. ow.ly/5AeP50viBkk
