A proposal to create a self-build home in a field currently containing outbuildings in Ashcott has been withdrawn.

The planning application for the creation of a self-build dwelling with attached garage on land to the north of 2-8 Taunton Road, Ashcott, was submitted to Sedgemoor District Council by Mr and Mrs Wilkins.

The home was to have four or more bedrooms and have parking for six cars, plus it had been supported by Ashcott Parish Council, but the plans have now been withdrawn.

Other planning applications in the Street area that have been decided this week include:

Replacement of existing timber garden building and log store with new garden building in excess of 2.5m high and change of use of part rear garden from agricultural to residential at Shilling House, High Street, West Lydford, by Mrs Jane Frampton has been approved.
