Same Langford mushroom farm appears twice in this week's lists, revealing a phased scheme of up to 170 homes alongside farm, tree and heritage applications across the Bristol area
Two North Somerset weekly-list entries that share the same Stock Lane address only show the full scale of the Monaghan Mushrooms Farm redevelopment when read together, amid smaller agricultural, tree and listed-building applications elsewhere in the region.
Read together, the entries show the proposed development is larger than either listing suggests on its own. One entry describes a screening opinion request citing an approved outline permission (23/P/0448/OUT) for Phase 1 and a forthcoming application for up to 50 dwellings in Phase 2 [2]. The second entry, for the same address and reference, sets out the detail: a Section 73 application to vary the outline permission to allow demolition and mixed-use development of up to 120 dwellinghouses, around 1,400 sq m of flexible employment floorspace, 830 sq m of employment floorspace tied to the existing mushroom farm operation, a children's day nursery of about 420 sq m and a cafe of about 200 sq m, plus parking, drainage, an acoustic bund and play space [5].
The Langford scheme sits alongside other rural and green-space applications in this week's lists. North Somerset Council has also listed a proposal for a lean-to extension to an agricultural building, providing machinery storage and covering a livestock handling area, at land off East Dundry Lane in Dundry [3]. South Gloucestershire Council, meanwhile, has listed works to an ash tree — reducing the canopy on one side by 50% and stems on the other — in the Wickwar Conservation Area at Church Lane, Wickwar [4].
The lists also include a heritage item: Bristol City Council has listed a retrospective application for listed building consent for roof repair and renewal works at 5 Pipe Lane in the city centre [1]. Taken together, the week's applications span farmland redevelopment at Langford and Dundry, tree management in a conservation area at Wickwar, and maintenance of a listed city-centre building — a spread of planning activity that touches agricultural land, green infrastructure and the historic environment across the Bristol area in a single week.
