Parish Council - contacts/responsibilities (external web site)
27 August 2023
The aim of this page is to show all current planning applications and keep them for a while after decisions have been reached.
The inclusion of an application here does not imply any opinion on it, unless you see specific comments or requests to support or oppose it.
The latest on the A358 proposals, the works to M5 Junction 25 and the Nexus 25 employment site can be found on the Issues Page.
The really enthusiastic amongst you may wish to peruse Somerset West and Taunton’s Statement of Community Involvement Consultation, approved 20 November 2019.
For some unfathomable reason, SWT does not want to support direct links to individual planning applications. They never did, really, and the links on this page have always been somewhat secret. Now, links that work when initially added here are changed soon after, or the page “expires”. So from now on the links given below are to the general planning application search page, and users will need to insert the planning application number, and click twice more, an annoying extra 3 steps. Even then, the page can expire after a short while, necessitating going back and entering the application number again. If there is a suffix (eg /LB indicating Listed Building) do not include it in the search box.

Ruishton and Thornfalcon Parish Council objected for the following reasons.

• It will be left in an isolated position with the construction of the proposed new A358

• It would be very close to a major new junction ideally located to provide services to

source of income which seems not to be considered by the vendors
