FOUR new homes could be built on a town-centre Wincanton car park site.

CL Planning, on behalf of Arlington (Wincanton) Ltd, has applied to build the properties on a 0.33-acre site at Churchfields, in the town centre.

The development, made up of two pairs of semi-detached properties – two two-bedroom and two three-bedroom homes – would be accessed via the Church Fields cul-de-sac.

A new parking area, with spaces for six vehicles, would also be constructed.

“The layout and design of the proposed dwellings have been carefully considered so as to minimize the impacts upon neighbouring properties,” the application said.

The homes would be in the shadow of the Churchfields building, formerly used by South Somerset District Council and home to an Avon & Somerset Police station.

That building could be converted into flats as part of a separate planning application.
