Para II.4 Butleigh Proposed site allocation for custom/self-build housing development 2 Housing Allocation Land at Oddway, Butleigh Mendip Local Plan Part II Sites and Policies Representations on Draft Pre-Submission Land at Oddway Butleigh Statement on behalf of Site’s Owners Mr and Mrs G Butt Prepared by: G N Salmon Salmon Planning Company 2 Priory Road Wells Somerset BA5 1SY LPA Ref: BUT001 Our Ref: PL.3595 Date: January 2018 1 Salmon Planning Company PL.3595 January 2018 Housing Allocation Land at Oddway, Butleigh 1.0 Butleigh 1.1 Butleigh lies on the Somerset Moors close to the main towns of Street (5 km) and Glastonbury (6 km). The village has a population of 823 and supports the following community facilities. • Post Office and General Store; • Public House • Travel to work public bus service • Primary School • Village Hall • Sports Hall and Playing Fields • Church 1.2 Core Policy 1 of the adopted Part I of the Local Plan classifies Butleigh as a Primary Village, suitable to accommodate most new rural development. 1.3 Core Policy 2 of the Local Plan requires a minimum of 1,700 new homes to be provided in the village of Mendip District over the period 2006 – 2029. 1.4 Table 9 of the Local Plan provides the distribution of housing for each of the identified villages. For Butleigh this requires a minimum of 45 new homes in the village over the Plan period. Planning permission for 13 homes has either been built or has planning permission leaving a residual requirement of 32 houses. 2 Salmon Planning Company PL.3595 January 2018 Housing Allocation Land at Oddway, Butleigh 2.0 The Site 2.1 The village has historically developed around Sub Road and High Street and contains a number of Buildings of Architectural and Historical Interest and a designated Conservation Area. The Village has witnessed late twentieth century housing expansion to the south and north-east of the historic core. 2.2 Barton Road lies at the southern end of the village between the former Butleigh Hospital site to the south and the main body of the village to the north. The site lies at the eastern end of Barton Road, close to the junction with Henley Lane onto which it also has a road frontage. This part of the Village is known as Oddway. 2.3 The site, extending to 1.0 Ha comprises of unmanaged grass field with boundary trees and hedging. The southern boundary has a 70 m frontage onto Barton Road and a 15 m frontage onto Henley Lane. 2.4 The site gently slopes towards a stream which flows along its eastern boundary. It is flanked by housing along three of its boundaries - to the west by a terrace of nineteenth century cottages, to the east an early nineteenth century farmhouse and residential barn conversion and to the south, on the opposite side of Barton Road are 1960’s – 1980’s detached family houses. The north-east part of the site forms a small gap between older and post-war housing in Henley Lane. 2.5 There are no Listed Buildings in the vicinity of the site. The Village Conservation Area lies adjacent to the northern site boundary. 2.6 Vehicular access onto Barton Road is via a field gate access. 3 Salmon Planning Company PL.3595 January 2018 Housing Allocation Land at Oddway, Butleigh 3.0 Site History 3.1 In 2014, the Site owners applied for outline planning permission to develop part of the subject site for 13 dwellings and adjoining land fronting onto Henley Lane to allotment gardens. 3.2 In September 2014 the housing application was refused because it fell outside of the settlement limits of the village and the housing layout failed to reflect the character and appearance of this part of the village. 3.3 No appeal was lodged against this decision. 4 Salmon Planning Company PL.3595 January 2018 Housing Allocation Land at Oddway, Butleigh 4.0 Proposed Land Use Allocation 4.1 The owners of the site are putting forward this 1.0 Ha parcel of land for housing development in Part II of the Local Plan. The surrounding development is low density and not all of the subject site can be developed because of a water course which cuts across the south-east corner of the land. It is therefore suggested that an overall density of 20 dwellings per hectare is applied to this site. This would yield up to 20 dwellings. 4.2 The land owners are proposing to release the land for a self-build/custom build site whereby the site’s infrastructure would be installed to each of the housing plots and these would be designed following a design code to be agreed by the local planning authority. Such an approach would accord with Government policy contained in Para 50 of the National Planning Policy Framework which requires LPAs to plan for people wishing to build their own homes. 4.3 A plan showing the extent of the allocation is shown edged red on the plan attached to this statement. 5 Salmon Planning Company PL.3595 January 2018 Housing Allocation Land at Oddway, Butleigh 5.0 The Site’s Potential Suitable for Meeting Future Housing Needs 5.1 17 sites have been promoted by land owners in the Village for housing development. 4 sites have been discounted by the LPA because of their environmental impact or isolated location from the village. 5.2 The subject site is reference BUT001 in the Council’s SHLAA. This assessed the site as follows: “Field with road frontage on two edges with a slight slope away to a watercourse in a southerly direction. Low density residential development surrounds the site aside from its northern edge. Site lies south of the main core of the village. Site lies beyond development limits; watercourse on the site. Site is potentially suitable for development subject to identified constraints and consideration of landscape impact.” 5.3 Two other sites shown on the SHLAA have sites which would yield between 58 – 101 dwellings per site. This scale is significantly greater than suggested in Table 8 of the Local Plan as should also be discounted. The remaining 8 sites are smaller scale yielding + or – 10 of the scale suggested in Table 8 of the Local Plan. 5.4 It is suggested three of the site’s referenced BUT002C, 006 and 017 are either not attached to existing housing development or occupy a peripheral and sensitive location in the landscape and are less than suitable for housing development. 5.5 These sites, BUT006a, 10 and 12 all located within the historic core of the village designated as Conservation Area.

  • 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.

  • Baker, W, Geology of Somerset, Volume 1
    GEOLOGY OP SOMERSET. 127 (©rnlngq nf $mmtt BY MR. W. BAKER. ICOME before you as one of the representatives of the natural history department of this society, to offer a few observations on the most striking geological features of our highly interesting field of research,— the beautiful county of Somerset. The course which I have laid out for myself is, to pass from the oldest formation, in the order of geological time, to our rieh alluvial lands, which are now in a state of accumulation ; and to offer a few brief remarks on the features of the principal formations, merely to open the way for future papers of detail, on the numerous interesting por- tions of the province, which we now call our own. More than thirty years ago, a young member of our very oldest geological family, — syenite— was observed at Hestercombe, one of the extended branches of the Quantock-hills, and the fact re- corded in the transactions of the London Geological 128 PAPERS, ETC. Society, by Leonard Horner, Esq. late president of that Society. —This discovery indicates tliat granite may be found in other parts of our western district. The Quantocks, and the hüls farther west, are the transition, or grauwacke, formation, and are of the lowest sedimentary deposits. Few or no organic remains have been found in the grauwacke of Somerset, but some are known in the sarae class of rocks in Devon and Cornwall. In our hüls, however, we have numerous beds of limestone, rieh in madrepores, corals and encrinites. This limestone is much quarried for manure in several places.

  • Mendip District Council Report to Shepton Mallet Town Council
    Mendip District Council Report to Shepton Mallet Town Council Report 1- From Cllr Kennedy Poll / referendum on Unitary The 4 district councils that are due to be subsumed into a single or a two unitary local authority have all agreed to support an independently conducted poll to ask all constituents what outcome they would wish to be governed by for at least the next generation. The cost of conducting this democratic outreach is equivalent to the cost of a postage stamp per resident. Please have your say. It’s not only your democratic right to decide between these two options, but it will shape the future of how services are to be delivered from schools and roads, to house building and environmental protection. Neither option is perfect and this change in how local government is about to be transformed is being imposed from Westminster and ultimately decided by Robert Jenrick, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government. There are substantial implications for our town and parish since many services that were managed locally will become more distant. We will be invited to take on facilities that we collectively feel would be better managed by the town. However there are pitfalls to watch out for, including being given control of services or facilities but denied the associated devolution of the resources (financial and management burden) that should by rights accompany them. This is exactly what has happened in Wiltshire and Cornwall when they switched to a Unitary authority. There will also be a very substantial loss in local representation as only a fraction of councillors will make the transition to a single county-wide Unitary authority if it is based on the same geographic footprint as the existing Somerset County Council.
