About

Cranbrook ward encompasses the modern new town of Cranbrook, developed from the late 2000s as a key growth area. The layout is characterised by planned residential neighbourhoods, community facilities, and extensive green corridors designed alongside the development. The town centre includes retail units, a supermarket, and the Younghayes Centre, serving as a community hub. Large areas of the ward remain open countryside, with working farmland to the east and south, creating a distinct edge between the new settlement and the wider rural district.

A defining feature is the presence of the SkyPark business estate adjacent to the railway line, which connects the town directly to Exeter and London. Educational facilities are integrated throughout, with primary schools, a secondary school, and a further education college. The landscape includes managed public parks, playing fields, and walking paths that link to the wider East Devon countryside, including routes toward the Clyst Valley. This planned infrastructure aims to create a largely self-contained community within its setting.
