Decision 1. The appeal is dismissed and planning permission is refused for the change of use of land to eco­friendly campsite and the erection of wooden decking to site 7 No. eco pods and separate shower/wc/kitchen facilities. Procedural Issues 2. There have been various amendments to this application since its initial submission, which have been acknowledged by the Council. The number of ‘eco pods’ has been reduced from 10 to 7 as shown on a revised plan and I have therefore amended the description of development accordingly. 3. The original proposal to access the site through the existing estate road leading to the hotel has been changed. Access to the site would now be from the B3167 and Colham Lane or via Purtington from the A30 to the north, or from Winsham via Colham Lane or Lime Kiln Lane to the south, as shown on the revised access map.

Our Council Plan for 2021-22 sets out how this can be achieved and the key actions we will be taking to drive the change that is needed to revitalise South Somerset. Council Leader Val Keitch said: “Regeneration is a big focus of this Council and we are committed to improving our town centres because of the many positive benefits it can bring. We want to invest in our towns and rejuvenate and repurpose the town centres of Yeovil, Chard and Wincanton and share the confidence with stakeholders and partners to work together and invest in South Somerset to make the district a better place to live, work, visit and leisure.” “We have seen investment from the Government for Yeovil through the Future High Streets grant and in Chard through the High Street Heritage Action Zone grant, so there’s confidence in spending money on town centres to make them attractive and reshape them in line with our economic recovery and environment strategies.” What are the outcomes the council will achieve?
