Housebuilder Crest Nicholson has acquired land in Somerset where it says more than 300 new homes could be built.
The company said it has a live planning application pending on the site in the village of Norton Fitzwarren, situated two miles from Taunton. If approved the FTSE 250 firm said it would look to start construction on the homes, classified as affordable housing, next year.
As part of the build, Crest Nicholson will complete the construction of Great Western Way on the southern edge of the site, called Norton Rise, which it said would help connect it to the village, and take pressure off local roads.
