Plans have been submitted for the development of 18 new low-carbon affordable homes on an apparently underused part of Somerset Council’s North Parade car park, comprising 9 houses and 9 flats.

The scheme was initiated by Mendip District Council as part of the first social and affordable housing programme by a local council here for 20 years (see here), and draft plans were shown a public consultation last autumn (see here).

The plans can be seen on Somerset Council’s planning portal at reference 2023/0657/FUL, and the consultation runs until 17th May, so do have a look and have your say.

As the site is owned by Somerset Council, the planning application will be determined by the new Somerset East Planning Committee later this year.
