Taunton's Vacant Buildings Move Back into Use, One Completed and One Proposed
Two Taunton sites that had stood empty are being brought back into use, with one commercial redevelopment finished and a separate plan to convert a listed former hotel into housing now under consideration.
Two long-empty buildings in Taunton are being returned to use, reflecting separate efforts to redevelop vacant sites in the town. On Priory Bridge Road, developer Summerfield has completed the redevelopment of a former Volvo garage that had stood vacant for several years, transforming it into a 4,820 sq ft industrial facility for Formula One Autocentres [1]. Elsewhere in Taunton, a Grade II* listed former hotel that is currently used as offices could be converted into six new flats, subject to planning approval, according to the Somerset County Gazette [2]. One project is a completed commercial regeneration delivered with project partners [1], while the other is a residential conversion of a listed building still awaiting a decision [2]. Together, the two cases show vacant and underused properties in Taunton being lined up for both business and housing purposes.
