Land use in the West: brewery homes advance, travellers' site ordered vacated

Two council-backed land outcomes - a plan for 100 new homes and a travellers' site clearing - emerge within a week in adjacent counties.

Wiltshire Times reported that plans for more than 100 homes on a former brewery site have advanced [1]. BBC News Somerset reported that the High Court has ordered the Greenacres travellers' site to be vacated, after Somerset Council had pursued legal action for more than two decades [2]. The two developments show contrasting outcomes for land in the region: one would add new housing, the other would clear an existing settlement after a long court battle.
