Lydden Meadow. An Attractive Community Development of Energy Efficient Affordable Homes.

Lydden Meadow
Lydden Meadow is an attractive farmstead style development of ten high quality, energy efficient homes. It is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is sympathetic and in keeping with the locality.
We have built these homes to provide affordable housing primarily for people with close connections to the village through residency, family or work.
The development is comprised of five Assured Tenancy (rent) and five Shared Ownership (part-equity) properties. They will achieve a Code 4 Sustainable Homes certificate that means they are at the leading edge of energy efficiency and comfort.
The cost of building these houses has been greatly assisted by grants from the Homes and Communities Agency, West Dorset District Council and the Tudor Trust. This will allow them to be affordable to people on average rural incomes.

The Village
Buckland Newton is a typical and highly desirable village set in West Dorset. It is located in a triangle approximately nine miles from three market towns, Sherborne, Sturminster Newton, and Dorchester. The village along with its six hamlets has a population of just over 450.
There is a village store with part time post office, church, primary school, play group, recreation field, allotments, and a renowned pub “The Gaggle of Geese”.
There is regular public transport to Dorchester and Sherborne.
The contractors CG Fry & Son plan to complete the building work by end of August 2011.
The funding for this project has been raised through West Dorset District Council (WDDC), Tudor Trust and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) through loans and grants.
