Somerset’s most expensive village will soon get some new affordable homes – despite concerns they will not meet local need.
Strongvox Homes is currently constructing 35 homes off the B3139 Blackford Road in Wedmore near Cheddar, to the east of the village school.
The Taunton-based developer has put forward plans for a further 38 properties, which would see this site extended to the north and provide 15 new affordable dwellings.
Sedgemoor District Council has now ruled that this phase two development may proceed, despite residents questioning whether the kind of affordable housing being built will meet the needs of local families.
