RESIDENTS in Comeytrowe are upset about a plans for a foul pumping station that could be built on the doorstep of the existing houses. They say the plans - which also include a water booster station and a gas pressure reducing station - are in an area which they say will divide the new and existing residents, and one that was earmarked for green space in the original outline planning permissions. The stations are being built as part of the 2,000 home Comeytrowe Urban Extension - now called Orchard Grove.
Taunton Deane Borough Council granted outline permission in April 2018 for 2,000 homes, along with employment space, a new primary school and a park and ride facility - but the foul pumping station plans were not included.
