East Devon District Council (EDDC) has granted planning permission for the first expansion of Cranbrook. It is the largest planning permission issued by EDDC since permission for the new town was issued, more than 13 years ago.

There will be a new three form entry primary school, a special educational needs school, a neighbourhood centre, land for a place of worship, a vicarage and a cemetery. There will be play areas, allotments and large areas of green space.

And following the success of events last year which include the town’s first ever Santa Run, the Move More Cranbrook delivery group is on the hunt for volunteers to help it deliver a programme of events in 2024.
