Hi Corrine,
Yes, they confirmed when I phoned last week that there should be a 4 week period after 22nd August for Cherwell residence to have priority on plot registration. I'm still not sure what happens if they feel that there is insufficient demand from Cherwell though - presumably if there's no interest they will just go straight to opening it up to everyone.
We're interested in the first batch, but as ever, all depends on the price. I'm a bit nervous about house prices following all the Brexit malarkey, so I suppose it could make sense to just wait another year or so and see what happens. It's a 10 year project after all, so no hurry...
