Langford mushroom farm screening request appears twice as redevelopment emerges as 170-home scheme
Two North Somerset Council weekly-list entries for the same screening opinion request show a Langford farm redevelopment growing to as many as 170 homes, while three West of England authorities log repair and upkeep works on older buildings and landscapes.
The first entry describes the proposal only in outline, referring to a Section 73 variation of outline permission 23/P/0448/OUT for Phase 1 and a forthcoming full application for up to 50 dwellings in Phase 2 [2]. The second entry, carrying the same application reference, sets out Phase 1 in full: demolition and site clearance for up to 120 dwellinghouses, 1,400 sq.m of flexible employment floorspace, 830 sq.m of employment floorspace tied to the existing mushroom farm operation, a 420 sq.m children's day nursery and a 200 sq.m cafe, plus public open space and play provision [7].
Read together, the two entries indicate the combined phases could deliver up to 170 homes on the Stock Lane site, a figure that does not appear in either listing on its own [2][7]. Both entries note the requests are screening opinions to determine whether the works constitute EIA development, rather than planning applications in themselves [2][7].
The Langford entries sit alongside a run of repair-type applications across the region's older stock. Bristol City Council's weekly list includes a retrospective listed building consent application for roof repair and renewal works at 5 Pipe Lane in the city centre [1]. North Somerset's list also carries a listed building consent for stabilising and partially reinstating a water-damaged lath-and-plaster ceiling and cornice at Churchill Court in Churchill [3]. South Gloucestershire Council's list records works to reduce an ash tree by half in the Wickwar Conservation Area [6], as well as consent to replace a single electricity pole with a double pole on the grass verge at Tanhouse Lane, Yate [5], and a lean-to extension for machinery storage and livestock handling off East Dundry Lane in Dundry, listed by North Somerset [4].
