Same-day housing schemes show redevelopment spanning former pub, airfield, store and brownfield sites

Planning approvals and fresh proposals reported on one day link housing growth across Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Taunton to very different types of existing sites.

Bath Echo said a block of flats has been proposed for the sloping, overgrown site at the rear of Thornbank Place in Oldfield Park [1]. Weston Mercury reported that a former pub in Weston-super-Mare has been approved for redevelopment into housing and commercial space [2]. Weston Mercury also said design plans for 142 homes at Haywood Village have been approved, advancing the redevelopment of the former Weston Airfield housing site [3]. Somerset County Gazette said plans have been unveiled to transform Taunton's former Debenhams building into flats and business premises [4]. Together, the reports show housing planning activity spanning conversions of existing buildings, new housing on former airfield land, and a proposed block of flats on a brownfield plot.
