A PUBLIC meeting will be held at the Boniface Centre, Crediton on Monday, November 29 at 6.45pm for a 7pm start to discuss the proposed change of use of the old surgery building at Newcombes.

The original application was submitted by Mr Jeff Jenner of Blockworks Group Ltd in Worcester for change of use from health centre to children’s residential unit.

The amended planning applications in the week ending November 3, are for the conversion of the former doctors' surgery to four new dwellings with associated landscaping and parking (21/02113/FULL) and for four children’s home dwellings (C2) with associated landscaping and parking (21/02115/Full).

The meeting will be chaired by local resident and former councillor Phillip Bourne and it is hoped that a representative of Mid Devon District Council will attend.
