Description: Residential Development of 139 dwellings and hilltop park & ecological area

Project Overview

The proposals involve the provision of 139 new homes including affordable housing and significant public open space, including a hilltop park and dedicated ecological area. The site will be accessed from Doniford Road – originally there was a secondary access to the north but through negotiations this was removed. Following outline planning permission reserved matters have been submitted to deliver these new homes in broad accordance with the illustrative masterplan shown at outline stage to the right.

Our Role

We promoted the site through the local plans process via representations and attending the Examination in Public, and secured an allocation in the plan as a 'reserve site' which would be required should Hinkley Point C be delivered. This came to fruition and as such, we submitted an outline application on behalf of South West Strategic Developments and successfully negotiated consent; following which, the site was sold to Edenstone Homes and we are currently working on the reserved matters on their behalf.
