Cranbrook is a new town being developed in East Devon, England, which at the 2021 census, had a population of 6,743 residents across 8 "phases". However, the town is growing at a fast pace. It is located 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) east-north-east of the centre of Exeter, just north-west of the village of Rockbeare, between the B3174 road (London Road and former A30) and the West of England Main Line railway. The civil parish was formed on 1 April 2015.The ideas and requirements to construct houses on greenfield land in the area were first proposed in 1995, and appeared in both the Devon 2001-2016 Structure Plan and the East Devon Local Plan 1995-2001. The first houses were occupied as St Martin's C of E Primary school was completed in 2012 and at least 500 houses had been occupied by December 2013. As of March 2021, the Cranbrook Parish had rapidly grown to a population of 6,743. Some of the town's main house builders include - but are not limited to- Persimmon Homes, Bovis, Redrow, Linden, Charles Church and Taylor Wimpey alongside smaller independent builders and a handful of self-build homes. In September 2018 Cranbrook hosted the start of Stage 2 of the OVO Energy Tour of Britain cycle race.
