PLANS have been submitted to Somerset Council to attain outline planning permission for two development sites near Bridgwater.

Mr & Mrs Paul have applied to build two self build dwellings with associated access routes and landscaping in North Petherton.

The proposed site sits south of Spitgrove Farm on Newton Road, on land which was previously used for agricultural purposes, although currently used as a caravan site.

The site also neighbours an existing residential area and site allocation for residential development - the erection of two self-build dwellings is 'considered to complement these existing residential areas to the south of the village of North Petherton', according to the planning and heritage statement.

The statement reads: "The proposed development is submitted in outline only, with detailed design and other matters reserved for later consideration."

Updates to the application can be viewed by searching the reference number 37/23/00110 on the Somerset Council website.

Comments are welcomed until January 12 2024, and planning permission could be granted as early as January 13.
