Taylor Wimpey to invest £700k in Cullompton community

As part of its commitment to supporting its local communities, Taylor Wimpey will be contributing almost £700,000 into improving the area around its upcoming Culm Valley Park development in Cullompton.

Through contributions agreed as part of the planning permission for the development, almost £650,000 will be used to help benefit the education sector around the local area. Over £315,000 will go to primary schools in Cullompton, a further £305,000 to Cullompton Community College and £23,000 to early years education services.

Taylor Wimpey will put £41,000 directly towards improving air quality around the development, and will also fund the planting of 149 trees, 711 metres of new hedges and 100 bat and bird boxes in the local community.

Culm Valley Park will offer diverse benefits that make it an accessible and innovative site for a variety of potential homeowners. Every home on site will have provision for electric vehicle charging.

The development will include a new nature trail park, with around 40% of the total site set aside as green space for the people of Cullompton to enjoy. The existing Siskin Chase play area will be extended within the site to create more space for new and existing residents to enjoy.

Richard Harrison, Land and Planning Director for Taylor Wimpey Exeter, said: “We’re really pleased to be making these contributions to Cullompton. We are committed not only to providing quality homes, but also to ensuring that we are giving back to the local communities in which we build.

“These significant contributions towards local infrastructure will help to achieve that, and we are also pleased to be protecting local biodiversity through the green spaces on the development.”

Culm Valley Park will be located off Siskin Close, Cullompton, Devon, EX15 1UD. To register interest in the new development, please visit: https://www.taylorwimpey.co.uk/new-homes/culm-valley-park
