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....

[Acorn Property Group @AcornPG]

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.
