This appears locally the south of Frome incorporating approximately 2000 as minimum land supply targets which district councils homes, commercial land and supporting infrastructure. are required to meet. In the event that authorities do This Development Vision and Prospectus is an not meet the targets they become open to ‘predatory explanation of the proposal in support of the strategy. applications’ which seek to provide new housing in inappropriate areas, without making suitable contributions to the local communities where they are located. This has happened in the district and will happen This document is to be read in conjunction with the in Frome unless new development is planned more supporting drawings, planning statements, ecology strategically. report, transport study, strategic landscape & visual assessment (SLVA) and heritage reports. Frome is a sustainable town for development - primarily because of its railway station and comparatively good transport links to the A36. Frome has also been under provided for with new homes over the last 10 years compared to Wells, Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet despite it being the largest town in the district. It is therefore highly likely that it will be required to grow in the next 10-20 years. Unless this growth is planned at the start, it is likely to come from poorly planned incremental expansion (such as the currently proposed pt2 sites) which make little or no contribution to local infrastructure. This causes creates disconnected areas - such as new housing under construction at Wallbridge. The Selwood Garden Village proposals have been prepared by an independent consortium (including Frome residents) representing the landowners and is intended to insure that Frome gets well planned development that provides high quality housing and infrastructure, whilst minimising the impact of development and providing a positive contribution to a prosperous and thriving town. 4 NVB Architects 2.0 PROPOSED SITE 2.1 Options for Frome Expansion Frome is the best-connected town in Mendip and a sustainable location for new development. It is the largest town in the Mendip area and the only town with rail connections. Frome has proved to be a very popular place to live with several national surveys referring to its recent renaissance. It has recently experienced earnings remain relatively low in comparison. become a valuable recreational resource. The wider the west a steep escarpment creates a strong landscape north the landscape setting of the historic Orchardleigh Park, challenging topography and the potential for visual coalescence with Beckington, to the east lies the barrier the south lie the relatively gentle hillsides where land is Extract from submission drawings railway embankments and cuttings provide. The landscape constraints around the west, north and east leave the gentle gradient hillside to the south as the most sustainable location for further growth. Whilst the site is on the southern edge of the town it is only 30 minutes’ walk from the town centre and only 10 minutes by bicycle. Existing bus services already run to the edge of the area and these can be combined into a loop improving bus services across the south of Frome. Much of the town lies to the south of the river and it is largely 20th century developments that have extended the town north. The modern town is now split equally north and south of the river and there is little undeveloped and unconstrained land within the current built up area.

Selwood Garden Village 5 2.2 Location and boundaries The proposed site is on the southern side of Frome. It is approximately 161Ha in area (excluding the area around Blatchbridge) and is bounded by the river, railway and bypass to the south and east, by the bypass to the west and by the industrial estate to the north. The site straddles the boundary of Frome Town and Selwood Parish Councils. The railway line cuts across the valley on a prominent embankment closing the valley views to the east. The embankment is approximately 5m above river level and has become quite wooded in part. The bypass is also raised on an embankment and closes the valley to the west. The bypass landscape margin is Proposed site boundary also wooded especially on the eastern side as it climbs the hill. A small section of the northern boundary adjoins Feltham Drive , The Mount and Little Keyford Lane. These are the nearest residential communities to the site and are supported by a primary school and a small supermarket. Between Culverhill in the east and the Marston Gate retail area in the west the boundary is predominantly larger industrial and commercial units. These are visually prominent along the ridgeline. Administrative Boundaries General site topography 6 NVB Architects 2.3 Existing uses Inside the site Most of the land contained within the railway, bypass and arable. There are a few isolated residential properties located along the lanes and a cluster of properties around Blatchbridge. Within the site are several old farm complexes but the only operational farm is Side Hill Farm located to the south of Little Keyford Lane. Little Keyford Lane itself starts as part of the Culverhill area and has a variety of residential properties on both sides to the east of the site. Keyford Manor lies to the north of the lane and is a listed building with mature trees in its grounds. south to Maiden Bradley, Mere and Shaftesbury. It is still National Landscape Character Areas a country road with grass verges and hedges. It crosses an old bridge over the river at Blatchbridge and has been improved as it approaches the bypass 2.4 Existing uses Outside the site The Marston Gate Retail area comprises a large supermarket (Sainsburys), a DIY store (Homebase Extract from Ordinance Survey Drawings currently being re-branded), Halfords and a few other retail units, and McDonalds and KFC fast food outlets. The police also have their mobile units based there. The area east of the retail centre is an extensive industrial and commercial estate containing a wide variety of manufacturing (Singers and Dairy Crest), warehousing (J Harding and Sons), builders merchants (Tipadel and Jewsons), and service companies (ATS and Platinum Cars). There are also a large number of smaller units and the Somerset County Council recycling centre operated by Viridor. Outside the line of the railway and bypass to the south is an extension of the agricultural landscape, largely dairy and pasture. There is a cluster of buildings at Feltham but the nearest villages at Corsley, Woodlands, Tytherington and Trudoxhill are some distance away.

  • The Late Pleistocene Sequence at Wells, Somerset
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1988, l« (2), 241-257 THE LATE PLEISTOCENE SEQUENCE AT WELLS, SOMERSET by D. T. DONOVAN ABSTRACT Late Quaternary deposits and geomorphologicai features within a radius of about 4 km of Wells, Somerset, England are reviewed. The earliest well dated occurrence is the Hippopotamus fauna from Milton Hill, assigned to the warm interglacial episode corresponding to Oxygen Isolopc Stage 5c in deep sea cores. The dissected Reward Grave! is thoughl to be older, perhaps O.I.S. 6. The Wookey Hole ravine developed during ihe early part of the lasi glaeiulion (O.I.S. 5?), the Ebbor gorge later (O.I.S. 37) The Wells and Wookey Station gravel spreads, the former with woolly rhinoceros and ?mummoth, are correlated with the maximum glacial advance of the Late Devensian. INTRODUCTION The City of Wells has in its immediate vicinity an unusually rich assortment of Late Pleistocene deposits and sites. Many of these were investigated by the late H. E. Balch, Curator of Wells Museum, and his finds are to be found in the Museum along with more casual discoveries. The present paper is an attempt to survey some of this material and its chronological significance. It is convenient to deal in some detail with the Late Pleistocene as defined by Bovven et a!. (1987, p. 299), that is, beginning at the base of Oxygen Isotope Stage 5e. Middle Pleistocene deposits of great importance are found at Westbury-sub-Mendip, only 6 km from Wells (Bishop, 1982) but at present they cannot be satisfactorily connected with the chronology of the later deposits.

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

  • 1 Introduction
    1 Introduction Why are we here? We want to share our emerging plans for South Frome, understand what issues are important to you, and your views on the initial plans for this area. This will help us take local opinions into account as the project progresses. Land Value Alliances (LVA) and a Landowner Consortium are seeking to deliver a mixed-use development to the south of Frome known as Selwood Garden Village (SGV). The first phase will deliver a mixed-use development, including around 1,500 new homes, employment land and a local centre which will include social infrastructure and a local community hub. Who are we? LVA are a market leading business in the strategic land and planning promotion sector. Our portfolio consists of over 60 projects throughout the UK including one of the first Zero Carbon schemes in the region. During the planning process we positively engage with planning authorities, Parish and Town Councils, communities, consultees and developers. We believe in forming co-operative relationships between all the stakeholders. We believe that our approach of creating working ‘alliances’ leads to better development. We engage with the community and their representatives in the planning phase. We work together in producing the right development sites in the right locations and the right form of development. Our aim is to meet and listen to the community and its representatives whether in the planning offices, Parish / Town Councils, neighbourhood planning committees or in open public consultations. We believe in trying to establish and agree the community benefits which flow from suitable sustainable development.
