A Somerset-based housebuilder has submitted an outline planning application for nine carbon neutral bungalows in Winscombe.
Summerfield Homes has proposed to build the homes on land off Well Close in the North Somerset village. The land has been owned by the housebuilder for some time.
The company's plans include areas of publicly accessible green infrastructure; land set aside specifically to create a biodiversity betterment in excess of 25%; and a commitment to delivering the bungalows as net-zero carbon.
According to Summerfield, the application falls in line with the local plan policy to bring forward small sites adjoining the village. The land off Well Close abuts the settlement and will be in keeping with the form of the existing houses adjoining the scheme, the housebuilder said.
Ed Khodabandehloo, managing director of Summerfield Homes, said: “This is an exciting proposed project delivering much-needed housing whilst keeping the properties very energy efficient and the scheme’s environmental impact positive.”
Summerfield was founded in 1823 and operates across Somerset and the South West. As well as residential homes, the company develops commercial property, including office, retail and leisure buildings, and industrial estates. It also holds a portfolio of commercial buildings with a variety of leasing options.
