The Kingfisher Green development will deliver 180 new homes to the community of Cranbrook, east Devon.

The scheme will comprise a range of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom, high-quality homes, including 54 available for shared ownership and social rent, with the remaining 126 available for open market sale under the Linden Homes brand.

A planning application for reserved matters has already been submitted and, subject to approval, construction is set to commence during the summer with the first homes being delivered in 2019.

Galliford Try Partnerships has also secured a site to develop 171 new homes on the banks of the River Tone in Taunton, which will comprise a mix of townhouses and apartments.

The firm is set to submit a planning application in the coming months, with work expected to commence later in the year.
