North Somerset and Somerset transport and planning notices point to wider development activity

A cluster of planning and transport notices published this week points to ongoing development activity across the Bristol area. Business News South West reported that North Somerset’s main bus stop in Nailsea, on Link Road, is set to be redeveloped from 28 September until late November, following community engagement earlier this year [1]. Separately, North Somerset Council’s planning list includes an application for two non-illuminated post and panel signs at land east of Long Ashton Park and Ride, relating to a nearby residential development [2]. In Somerset, Somerset County Gazette reported that Maple Wood Partnership has secured outline consent from Somerset Council for up to 40 new homes on Maple Road in Curry Rivel [3]. The notices do not indicate a single coordinated programme, but together they show concurrent transport and housing activity in the region.
