The development, Merryfield Barns, Buckfastleigh has also been nominated for the LABC South West Awards 2013. Chief Executive Steve Prime said 'we are delighted to have this award and it demonstrates the associations ability to identify opportunities to provide affordable housing in an innovative way. Four much needed affordale homes were created out of two delapidated and redundant barns. We are grateful for the support provided by the Homes and Communities Agency and Teignbridge District Council who provided funding for the development.' A sister development in Buckfastleigh provided six apartments at affordable rents, on the site of a delapidated house.'
