THE SITE

A slightly graded c. 4-acre site with woodland boundaries to the north and east, an existing residential development to the south and the Wincanton Community Hospital to the west.

Road access is off Dancing Lane with the design arrangements to cross part of the hospital site included with the consented design. Pre-existing land contract documents allow a purchaser to undertake such works on the hospital land.

PLANNING

Outline planning permission was granted as an Appeal Decision on 19th October 2015 (ref: APP/R3325/A/14/2222697) for up to 55 dwellings, access works, relocation of NHS parking, provision of open space and other ancillary works in in accordance with the terms of the application (ref: 14/00838/OUT) dated 24th February 2014.

Reserved Matters approval has since been granted for a development of 31 dwellings of which 7 are affordable and 24 Market Housing (comprising 18no. 4 bed homes and 6no. 5 bed homes). The consented scheme comprises 50,266 sq ft.
