We are pleased to announce that our submitted planning application has been approved by North Devon Council, allowing us to demolish the existing disused timber lodge which is in a poor state of repair. A new single-storey timber lodge will be built in its place, providing the railway with an insulated building offering modern overnight accommodation facilities.

Our thanks to L&B Member Ric Auger for not only producing the plans/drawings, but also dealing with all aspects of the planning application itself.
