Plans submitted to build house in Catcott garden

Plans have been submitted to build a detached house in the garden of a home in Catcott.

A planning application for the building of a dwelling and a two-storey garage to facilitate a home office and garage, plus the formation of a new access at 3 Lippetts Way, Catcott, has been submitted to Sedgemoor District Council by Lee Butler.

The plans are to build a two-storey, four-bedroom dwelling complete with two-storey outbuilding on the land to the rear of 3 Lippetts Way.

A previous outline application with all matters reserved was made in 2018 for the proposed building of two detached dwellings to the rear of 3 Lippetts Way in which planning permission was granted.

The current proposal will accommodate four off-street car parking spaces, two of which are provided by the proposed double garage, and the provision of a home office will enable the occupants to work from home, if necessary.

One other planning application in the Street area has been submitted this week:

Partial conversion of existing outbuilding to ancillary accommodation and erection of a link extension between the main dwelling and proposed accommodation at Polden Lea, The Nydon, Catcott, has been applied for by Mr and Mrs Angle.

One planning application in the Street area has been decided this week:
