We show you everything you need to know about these plots and how you can bid for them on the Plotfinder website.

What land is included with the plots?

The plot is divided into three parcels, each with permission for a two-storey detached house, private parking, garages, and gardens. The plot sizes are:

Plot 1: 285 sqm
Plot 2: 164 sqm
Plot 3: 160 sqm

The building plots have access arrangements (right of way during development) making this an appealing choice for self builders. Plots 1 and 2 share an entrance but transition into private areas, while Plot 3 has a completely independent driveway and garden access.

Planning permission was granted in December 2022 by Sedgemoor District Council for the construction of three two-storey detached homes on the site of existing agricultural buildings.

The proposed layouts for the plots include:

Plot 1: A ground floor entrance hall, cloakroom, kitchen-dining area, utility room, sitting room, an integral garage and four en suite bedrooms.
Plots 2 and 3: Similar layouts with a ground floor including a kitchen/dining room, utility space, and sitting room. The first floor features four bedrooms, two of which are en suite, alongside a family bathroom. Each plot also includes a separate garage.

How to secure the plots

The potential self build plots are being offered for sale for £450,000.

The development is subject to a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payment of £21,254.27, unless the homes are built as self builds.
