Green Farm, Higher Mudford, Yeovil, Somerset

Overview

A prime development opportunity set within 2.30 acres, with an application submitted for the demolition of existing agricultural buildings and the creation of 12 new dwellings. The scheme includes prior approval for five dwellings under Class Q, alongside permission for five replacement residential dwellings and the conversion of a traditional range of agricultural buildings into a further seven C3 dwellings.

The development comprises a mix of eight market properties and four affordable homes, with associated garaging and a change of use from agricultural land to residential curtilages. The current farm owners are willing to remove the existing farm buildings at their own cost, and phosphate mitigation has already been addressed.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a well-planned residential development in a desirable rural location.
