Thread covering the redevelopment of the former Whipton Barton House adjacent to Pinhoe Rd, Whipton. Plans indicate the site will situate several blocks of residential flats, roughly four storeys in height.

The project is on the portal under 19/1621/FUL and 23/0270/VOC, and due to the somewhat incompetent nature of the firm behind it - Exeter City Living - it has been severely delayed for years now.

Right, this thing is taking so bloody long that I figured we might as well make it its own thread before construction starts - if it ever does. What brought this to my attention today were the amended plans submitted to the portal, which don't provide much interesting information, aside from the fact that the total number of apartments has been reduced to 91.

There is some activity here,was a couple of weeks ago with some digging and noticed after site being cleared a few small bits of equipment being delivered again?

You lot sure they are not just doing land treatment work similar to what they stated they are doing at Clifton? I think we're be very generous to having this headed as under construction. I'm pretty sure ECL will make a big song and dance about it if and when they actually start heavy works.

You are correct was some works on ECL site to clear weeds, I think may just be prospective works for potential builders to establish ground conditions. Whilst unit numbers gone down hasn't costs gone from £9m to £27m as reported by Exeter observer?

I'm editing this thread as Proposed until we see some evidence of heavy construction works.

Seems fair, we might be waiting a while. Also the development is actually called 'the Gardens, Whipton'.
