Council gives go-ahead for eight controversial new Burnham-On-Sea homes
Controversial plans for eight new homes in Burnham-On-Sea were given the final go-ahead by district councillors on Tuesday (January 12th).
88 people signed a petition objecting against the plans amid concern about a likely rise in noise, increased traffic, the height of the properties compared to surrounding homes, a greater risk of flooding, and a loss of visual amenity.
The planning application is for a new development of eight homes on land at 150 Berrow Road on the site of an existing outbuilding, which is to be demolished. The application was initially submitted in 2017 and was approved in 2018.
88 residents sign petition in Burnham-On-Sea against plans for eight new homes
Over 80 residents in Burnham-On-Sea have signed a petition in a bid to halt controversial plans for eight new homes.
The planning application is for a new development of homes on land at 150 Berrow Road on the site of an existing outbuilding, which is to be demolished. It was initially submitted in 2017 and was approved in 2018.
Now, however, a ‘Reserved Matters’ planning application has been submitted to Sedgemoor District Council to cover the design elements of the development – appearance, landscaping, layout and scale – plus 26 parking spaces.
Members of Burnham and Highbridge Town Council’s planning applications committee meeting have this month decided to object against the proposals.
