The development site at Ringford is located just on the periphery of the village. The site has recently benefitted from preplanning approval for three dwellinghouses and has in the past benefitted from full planning permission, which has now lapsed. The preplanning approval can be downloaded from our website. The development site amounts to about 1.48 acres (0.60 hectares) and presents a fantastic opportunity for the creation of homes which offer the type of lifestyle which many are seeking at this time.
