A PLANNING application to build 650 homes on land at Jurston Farm, Wellington has been submitted to Taunton Deane Borough Council.

Independent developer, C G Fry & Son Limited, has announced its submission of the outline planning application – which included 25% affordable housing, a community centre and woodland, a new primary school and a new roundabout for the A38 at West Buckland Road.

David Lohfink, Land and Planning Director at 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.”
