Plans for 80 new homes on the site of a former ceramics factory site in East Devon will go on show on Tuesday.
The CeramTec factory in Colyton, which closed two years ago, was sold in June 2017 to the Homes & Communities Agency (HCA) for an undisclosed sum.

It is hoped that new use of the predominately brownfield site in Sidmouth Road will breathe new life into the village, after shortly after their purchase of the site, design consultants Peter Brett Associates (PBA) and LHC Architecture were asked to develop a vision for the regeneration of the site.

The plans will see the creation of 60 to 80 homes, employment space and the creation of public open space accessible to the town, and they will go on show at Colyton Town Hall between 2.30pm and 7.30pm on Tuesday.

Feedback from the public will then be used help shape the design of the development before an outline planning application is submitted to East Devon District Council.
