Planning application
2025/2270/PAA
Land At 371003 141573 Church Street Wanstrow Shepton Mallet Somerset
Proposal
Prior Approval for the change of use and conversion of agricultural buildings to 6no. dwellings under Class Q at Park Farm, Wanstrow. The agricultural buildings are located close to the public highway and there are other residential dwellings nearby. As such, a residential use will not be out of context in this location and is clearly not impractical.
As published by the council, reference 2025/2270/PAA

What refusal means
The process from here
The council refused this application for the reasons set out on the decision notice, which the council portal holds in full. Only the applicant can appeal a refusal; the time limit runs from the decision date and is shorter for householder schemes.
Refusal does not prevent a fresh attempt. Applicants often address the reasons for refusal and resubmit, so a refused scheme is not necessarily the end of proposals for the site.
About outline applications
How this application type works
An outline application tests the principle of developing a site before the detail is worked up. Some or all of the particulars, such as appearance, layout, scale, access and landscaping, are held back as reserved matters for later approval. Permission at outline stage does not by itself allow building to start; the reserved matters must be approved first.
