Strategic<\/a> has agreed terms with five landowners to promote circa 96-acres of the proposed Banwell Garden Village development through the Local Plan process<\/h2>\n<p>Located five miles away from Weston-super-Mare, off land to the west and east of Summer Lane, Banwell Garden Village is a key feature of the emerging North Somerset Local Plan 2038.<\/p>\n<p>A \u00a397m Housing Infrastructure Fund grant was designated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/homes-england\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Homes England<\/a> for the construction of the new Banwell bypass, a secondary school and additional local infrastructure and amenity improvements.<\/p>\n<p>The provision of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/innovative-housing-delivery\/88213\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new housing is critical<\/a>, as the funding is predicated on the delivery of associated residential development alongside the key infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>In its entirety, Banwell Garden Village could provide at least 2,000 new dwellings and associated employment land.<\/p>\n<p>The new community will complement the historic village of Banwell and enhance its attractiveness and long-term viability, while environmental improvements will be created by the diversion of through-traffic from narrow old streets onto the new bypass.<\/p>\n<p>The character of the Garden Village street scenes will draw upon the semi-rural setting, blending sensitively with the landscape to the north of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mendiphillsaonb.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mendip Hills AONB<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The new business space will benefit from good access to the M5, presenting appealing industrial\/distribution opportunities.<\/p>\n<h3>Boosting the local economy<\/h3>\n<p>James O\u2019Shea, managing director of Terra Strategic said: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.n-somerset.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">North Somerset Council<\/a> is currently preparing to go out to consultation on a full version of the Draft Local Plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the funding for Banwell Bypass secured, this strategic development opportunity is very much taking shape now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe creation of this highly sustainable Garden Village will deliver an outstanding new community to the area, boosting the local economy in the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will also help to meet North Somerset\u2019s annual housing targets at a time when the number of new homes being built in the UK has declined as a direct result of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to work with the Council\u2019s Officers, Local Councillors and all stakeholders to move forward with our plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terra
