IMPORTANT NEWS
RE THE ABBOTTS ANN COMMUNITY LAND TRUST DEVELOPMENT ON DUCK STREET
The Abbotts Ann Community Land Trust is delighted to announce that the contract has been signed for the sale and acquisition of the Duck Street site next to Abbotts Ann Village School. This means that the community development will now be able to move forward at pace.
We are thrilled to confirm that METIS HOMES are the developers that will be proceeding with the AACLT development – they will be proposing to deliver 24 new homes for Abbotts Ann which will include 12 affordable dwellings. We are confident that they will deliver a spectacular development for our community, with the right mix of affordable and market housing to meet Abbotts Ann’s requirements.
METIS HOMES is an award winning Hampshire based company of excellent repute and they have already produced a number of high quality developments in the surrounding area. You can view their website HERE.
Work on the AACLT development has been continuing during the lengthy contract negotiations and METIS HOMES will share full details of the proposed development through public consultation scheduled to take place this Summer.
Further details will be confirmed shortly and we look forward to sharing more information with you all in the coming weeks.
Best wishes
AACLT Board
PLEASE NOTE:
The AACLT development is not in any way related to the outline planning application that has recently been submitted to build 62 homes on Bulbery Field.
