Proposed project - Brampford Speke
​
Stonilands
A new development in Brampford Speke is being proposed by the Community Land Trust.
It would include the village's only green community-owned land and a small group of affordable homes for people with a strong local connection.
The proposal is for 7 social-rented homes (at about 50%-60% of market rents), of which two will be 1-bedroom homes, three will be 2-beds and two will be 3-beds, all prioritised for local people. The approximate completion date for this, providing all progresses as hoped, is late 2027.
Remember: if you or anyone you know will be interested in applying for one of the homes, please contact Sally Discombe sallydiscombe@gmail.com for more information.
With regard to the amenity land, it is hoped that some Brampford Speke villagers would volunteer to form a support/advisory group to help the CLT deliver on this.

Sustainably managed community land
The proposed project at Stonilands, south of Stooks Close offers the opportunity to create Brampford Speke's only public green space. This would provide an accessible and enjoyable outdoor space for recreation, healthy exercise and community gatherings, as well as a useful spot for local dog walks.
Just as the CLT has achieved in Lake's Down, Upton Pyne, the land would be sustainably managed to increase biodiversity. The local community would be fully involved in designing this space to ensure Brampford's only public green space meets everyone's needs. Holding this land in community ownership also safeguards valuable open spaces for the benefit of future generations, shielding them from unwarranted development and preserving the character of our local area.
The community land would also provide Brampford Speke School with guaranteed and free access to green space for exercise and sport, something it currently lacks.
