Fresh plans submitted for 180 homes on field
Frome Standard
|July 03, 2025
Revised plans for 180 new homes on “one of the best fields in Somerset” have been put forward by a major housing developer.
Persimmon Homes Wessex put forward outline plans in March 2022 to build up to 190 new homes on the eastern side of the A367 Fosseway South, at the southern edge of Midsomer Norton.
Following negotiations with Somerset Council’s planning officers, the intended number of homes was reduced down to 180 before the proposals were turned down by the council's planning committee east in August 2024.
This decision was overturned by the Planning Inspectorate in March after the council refused to defend the appeal at a public inquiry held the previous month.
The Malmesbury-based developer has now put forward revised plans (known as a reserved matters application) for the same number of homes - with a final ruling expected before Christmas.
The site lies to the south of the existing homes on Fossefield Road, a short distance from St Benedict's Catholic Primary School.
