THE gap between two Somerset towns will soon be “measured in millimetres” after plans for new homes were approved. Beechcroft Land Ltd. originally applied to build 39 new homes at Carrotts Farm Shop on the A38 Bridgwater Road in North Petherton, near the town’s cemetery. The plans were refused by Sedgemoor District Council in May 2020, prompting the developer to lodge an appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. The council has now narrowly granted permission for the Oxfordshire-based developer to build 20 homes on the same site – just four weeks before an appeal hearing on the original refusal was due to be held.

DETAILED plans for 130 new homes near Bridgwater have been approved – despite councillors complaining that existing traffic problems on the A38 have not been adequately addressed. Barratt Homes applied to build the homes on the A38 Taunton Road in North Petherton, between the existing Portman Drive homes and the town’s rugby club. Sedgemoor District Council granted outline permission for the homes in January 2020, establishing a new access road to link the houses with the main road between Taunton and Bridgwater. The council’s development committee has now approved the detailed designs and layout of the houses, with the developer looking to begin construction later in the year.

Pelham From Cheapside A COUNCILLOR lambasted a college for not having included any “affordable” housing in plans to replace Victorian school buildings with more than 100 flats. Labour councillor Nick Childs accused the Greater Brighton Metropolitan College (GB Met) of a “gross neglect of civil duty”. And he said that snubbing the council’s policy of encouraging affordable housing was an outrage and an affront to the people of Brighton and Hove. The college – formerly known as City College and previously Brighton Technical College – is selling two 19th century school buildings and a 1930s addition. They older buildings were among several in Brighton to have been designed by the architect Thomas Simpson and the oldest – the York building – originally housed the York Place Elementary School.
