Plans approved for building 1,600 new homes in Taunton
Plans for building 1,600 new homes to support Taunton garden town status have been approved by the local authority, a news report in the local business media has been able to suggest.
Two developments were approved at Taunton Deane Borough Council’s planning committee.
A scheme from Ptarmigan Staplegrove Ltd comprises up to 713 homes, employment land, green infrastructure, landscaping, play area and sustainable urban drainage systems at Staplegrove (west).
Plans for up to 915 homes, a primary school, employment land, local centre and open space on land at Staplegrove (east) site, from PM Asset Management, have also been approved.
Both applications included provision for a spine road to connect the A358 Staplegrove Road and Kingston Road. The council has recently submitted a bid to the government’s Housing Infrastructure Fund to help secure the early construction of the road and wider community infrastructure.
The developments at Staplegrove represent one of the three new garden communities being planned by the Borough Council under its garden Town status.
Taunton was named as the only new garden town in the South West by the government at the start of this year.
