ACCORDING to ‘maydaysaxonvale’ Instagram, Acorn Property Group have ‘withdrawn’ from the Saxonvale site.

A post by the Instagram page was uploaded at 16:10 announcing Acorn’s decision not to continue with the development project. The post goes as follows: “Acorn Property Group prides itself in working with local communities to provide much needed regeneration through residential-led schemes.

“Further to the meetings on July 31, it has become abundantly clear that in this case, despite our best endeavours to work with all the stakeholders, the local community does not wish to work with Acorn and on that basis we have decided to withdraw from the process. 

“Acorn wishes Frome and the local community the best of luck going forward in developing this wonderful site in whatever way they choose to take the matter forward.” 

The next steps of the Saxonvale regeneration project remain unclear.
