Devon Home Choice - new local connection criteria for "old stock"
The Parish Council has successfully negotiated with Devon Home Choice for the allocation criteria for Moretonhampstead to be changed in favour of local connection and/or employment. This means local people will be placed higher on the priority list than before which is great news for everyone. You MUST be on the Devon Home Choice to qualify so if you are in housing need (you do not need to be homeless to be in need) REGISTER ASAP. The new criteria has been agreed for 1 year so don't delay! If you need any help contact Julie Lammin 01647 440041.

RESULTS OF TOWN QUESTIONNAIRE
Many thanks to all for a splendid response - nearly 450 replies, and a large number of helpful comments. For the full report click here; to see all the comments, click here
In relation to development, which received many comments, three main areas of broad consensus emerged:
General concern to protect Moreton – the town, its surroundings, and its community, which most people value and feel are at risk from too rapid development, and need careful protection.
Concern about the town’s infrastructure – in particular car parking and traffic – which most people feel needs to be improved before/if further development is contemplated.
Concern that any future development should deliver clear benefits to the town – especially affordable and social housing, and employment opportunities, rather than (just) profit to landowners and developers.
We see this report very much as a starting point for discussions about many of the issues raised, within the community and with relevant outside bodies, especially Dartmoor National Park Authority (DNPA), Devon County Council (DCC) and Teignbridge District Council (TDC).; and it will of course feed into our discussion of and comments on the DNPA's current draft Local Plan, which can be seen at http://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/living-and-working/business/planning-policy/local-plan-review
