Most recent is Clifford Mounter, pictured above, receiving the WW1 bronze plaque for our Church from the Time Travellers a couple of years ago. Clifford lived in the village for more than 70 years, only moving to South Petherton quite recently. He was a Methodist ‘Chapel’ man to the core, and served our Church as Treasurer for 43 years, and was a steward and Reader too. There was very little Clifford did NOT know about the people and places in Kingsbury! He was the ‘go to’ man for information about the happenings here, and he saw and noted all the changes.

  • South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review
    South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review The Potential for Rural Settlements to be Designated ‘Villages’ November 2018 Contents Page 1 Introduction 1 2 Context 1 3 Methodology 3 4 Settlement Appraisal 13 5 Conclusions 23 Appendix 1 - Complete list of Rural Settlements in the District subject to this Appraisal 24 Appendix 2 - Settlement Maps; Constraints and Community Service Locations 25 Appendix 3 – Location Map of Settlements 58 1. Introduction 1.1 This paper considers the suitability of the District’s many Rural Settlements for growth. The current Local Plan does not allocate housing and employment to specific villages, seeking to direct most development to Yeovil, the Market Towns and Rural Centres. However, new housing has been delivered in the Rural Settlements far in excess of what the Local Plan anticipated; and similarly, new commercial buildings have, in the main, been provided away from the established employment locations and sites allocated for that purpose. Rather than continue with this somewhat arbitrary situation, the Review of the Local Plan offers the opportunity to look again at the various smaller settlements around the District to ascertain which might offer the best and most sustainable locations for limited growth and possible designation as ‘Villages’. 1.2 The Review of the Local Plan has also resulted in the potential removal of the role of ‘Rural Centre’ from Stoke sub Hamdon. This is because the settlement has many constraints and the number of commercial outlets in the centre is relatively restricted. It could instead be designated a ‘Village’ in recognition of its size and numbers of other facilities relative to the remaining Rural Settlements.

Following on from the Local Elections and the A European Elections in May we now have a General Election to look forward to on Thursday 12 December. Both of us now have to adhere to ‘purdah’ – a commonly used term to mean the period in the run-up to an election when the normal protocols and behaviours around general activity, and around publicity and communications in particular, become more restricted. As such, we have to suspend our normal article and subsequent District Council information until the outcome of the election.
