Bruton Town Council has started discussions with a developer, the landowner and architect about their proposals for a potential housing development on a site immediately South of Brewham Road (between the last houses and the electricity substation, as shown in the picture). The discussions are at a very early stage, but are now sufficiently advanced to be made public. The Council understands that no proposals have yet been made about numbers or type of housing, and that a planning application, if there is to be one, is many months off.
Mayor Steve Hall said: “It was very clear from the Town Plan survey that residents want the Town Council to engage directly with landowners and developers, to try and make sure that the right housing gets built in the right place. This is what we are doing. This site is one of the few sites in the town which more people thought suitable for development than in need of protection.”
