Plans to demolish six garages in Street and then build two semi-detached houses on the site, have been withdrawn.

A planning application for the building of two dwelling houses (two-bedroom and three-bedroom semi-detached) following the demolition of garages on land at Houndwood Drove, Street, had been submitted to Mendip District Council by Shah Alom.

This site has been in disuse for a number of years as the six garages are located a relatively long distance away from the residents of the housing block north west to the site, linked by a narrow unexposed alleyway covered by close board fences and without any visibility to neighbouring houses.

Aster housing association has sold the site to the applicant, who also acquired neighbouring land to enlarge the site, but this application has now been withdrawn.

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