The Site
The plot is situated in one of the most sought-after villages in Chew Valley, part of the Mendip Hills area of outstanding natural beauty. The views from the plot are stunning and the completed development will be very saleable.
The plot is surrounded by gardens, with hedges exceeding two metres in height on every border. There are a few, pretty, large trees in neighbouring gardens and views to the Mendip Hills. The plot is not overlooked at all, with all properties nearby being single storey bungalows which aren't visible from the plot, and one chalet bungalow with privacy guaranteed by leylandii trees on the northern boundary.
There is a public footpath to the east boundary, separated by traditional hedge and a 2m featheredge fence. It would be possible to put a gate in to access the footpath directly, which would take you to the north of the village where there are plenty of lovely walks, without needing to go back down to the main road.
The planning permission provides for parking for two vehicles.
