Decision
Expected by 30 Nov 2026

This application is under consideration - no decision has been issued yet. Plota predicted a decision around 4 Oct 2026; it is now day 205.

Planning committee

Decided by South Somerset South on 15 Sept 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved unanimously

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the site could provide housing and affordable homes without adverse impacts substantially outweighing the benefits.
  • The parish council and residents raised concerns about character, highways, flooding, ecology, infrastructure and loss of open space.
  • Members unanimously approved the application, subject to a legal agreement, conditions, low-carbon technology and an additional approved plan.

Site constraints 4

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Parrett Catchment
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Also on the record
Inside the Curry Rivel built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
