BUSINESS UNITS
Nurturing local enterprise
The Chagford Community Trust owns a block of four business units at the Bellacouch Meadow development. These are aimed for occupation by local enterprises and businesses, priority given to those showing community benefit or providing employment to local people. Significantly discounted rents below the commercial rate and other favourable terms are on offer to new or emerging enterprises that are unable to afford full commercial rents, but can prove their viability into the future and their value to the community. The rental income from the business units finances the CCT’s community grants programme, thus ensuring that the value of the assets are kept within the community and contribute to the CCT’s objectives.
