Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes are creating some very special new homes with a difference on the outskirts of Exeter, at Minerva.
The five star housebuilders have commissioned an ecological mitigation plan to identify and protect wildlife at the site of its latest development - which features a collection of two, three and four bedroom homes.
Matt Cowley, director at EAD Ecology, said a number of wildlife surveys were undertaken on the Minerva site prior to the development which has just opened, ensuring important habitats and species would be protected.
A true revolutionary veg nerd, Guy Singh-Watson has spent the last 30 years taking Riverford from one man and a wheelbarrow delivering homegrown organic veg to friends, to a national veg box scheme making 50,000 deliveries a week.

Calling ‘time’ has a new meaning at the Volunteer Inn in Ottery St Mary, as landlords Mike and Jacqui Down are now the proud owners of a unique clock - created from the end of a flaming tar barrel.
The barrel was carried by Mike in the 2014 Tar Barrels event. At the end of the night and despite being scorched by fire, the barrel end remained intact. Local Tar Barrels Committee ‘legend’ Les White held on to the barrel end, which weighs around 30 kilos, while he decided what to do with it.
Eventually, Les found a clockface of approximately the right dimensions. He trimmed it...

The 2018 exhibition, which runs until Sunday 8 July, takes the form of a ‘Trench’. It marks 100 years since the end of the First World War and will see 72,396 shrouded figures stacked – one on top of another – in a free-standing wooden representation of a trench, alongside which visitors will be able to walk and view the names of all those killed in Britain’s bloodiest battle, who have no known grave.
