Multi-award winning Independent developer, C G Fry
& Son Limited, announces its submission of outline planning application to
build 650 houses, including 25% affordable housing, on land at Jurston Farm,
Wellington, which will now be considered by Taunton Deane Borough
Council.
The application is in
outline form with the means of access to be determined and proposes a mixed-use
development*(please see note to Editors). This comprises open market and social housing
and a local centre and central square.
There is also land reserved for a new primary school and public open space,
which will incorporate a number of amenities including allotments, a junior
football pitch and a community woodland.
The vision is to
create a high quality, urban extension that helps to meet the housing needs of
Wellington. Development of the site will
represent an efficient use of land with high quality design creating a genuine
community and an attractive environment with a strong sense of place. The form of development will draw on the rich
heritage of the town and, in particular on the attractive streets of the
historic core.
David Lohfink, Land and Planning Director – C G
Fry & Son said: “Taunton Deane Borough
Council has allocated this site for development within its Core Strategy. The principle of development is therefore
already established and we are now delivering the Council’s vision for the town. The site’s selection has been through a
number of stages in the democratic process and the submission of this outline
planning application provides the community with a further opportunity to
comment on the proposals.”
