who can live here?

PictureClick to read our letter from a future tenant about what it could really be like to live here!
The homes will all be available for rent only, there will be no properties for sale. We have not yet confirmed what type of occupancy each home will have.

One of our key aims is to provide better quality, super efficient housing for those who fall between social housing and market rate housing. So w
e expect to be able to offer homes for a range of tenancies including Intermediate rent, Affordable rent, Social rent and possibly also Market rent as well, this will be a mixed community.

For most of the homes you will need to have a housing need and be registered on the Housing List, please visit Devon Home Choice for more information, we urge you to apply even if you're not 100% sure if you are eligible. A housing need, could be for example, you're living in insecure accommodation, your current home is overcrowded, you cannot afford your rent etc. Full information on how to register and apply is on the Devon Home Choice website, and you can contact them if you have questions.

There will be a priority given to people with a local connection. There will be a mix of flats for single people and couples, and 2 and 3 bed homes for families. There will also be several accessible homes on the site.

So far we have not confirmed how the properties will be made available. It is likely that SDCE would partner with a housing association.

If you would be interested in living here, its is really important that you let us know by filling in the survey because it will strengthen our evidence for why this project is needed.
