Works were completed near the end of last year on a new build house, designed to be built into the contours of the existing land with internal splits levels. The main living area being located on the lower level and bedroom accommodation on the higher. Externally a grass roof was used to reduce the impact of the new property in its surroundings.

The issues of phosphates are sadly still an on-going issue to projects caught up within the planning system located within the Somerset Levels and Moors area. SSDC have recently requested a ‘Phosphate Extension of Time Request’ as follows;
‘We are asking for a Extension of Time until 28th February 2022 to allow us to progress work on applications that are acquiring credits and to move the SPD (Supplementary Planning Document) through the process of consultation and adoption. Where applications can be determined prior to that date we will endeavour to do so.’
