Following the submission of our planning application at the end of July, Mid Devon Council has been awarded additional funding to deliver the town centre relief road. Completion of the road is forecast for 2028 with the major focus of work in the short term being to finalise designs, complete the acquisition of land and fully relocate the cricket club to land that Lightwood control and where it achieved permission for a major new regional facility.
It is expected that the relief road will be the first phase of major road infrastructure investment in Cullompton with further investment expected to support the upgrading of J28 in order to address the capacity of the junction and support wider planned growth. A further business case for investment in the J28 junction is currently with the Government for consideration.
