housing development in Shepton Mallet
The Bristol arm of Barton Willmore, one of the UK’s leading
architectural, planning and design consultancies has successfully
secured planning permission and unveiled plans for 69 new dwellings
on a brownfield site in the centre of Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
The site, owned by Bellway Homes, which has been approved for a new
residential development forms part of a much larger site which is
under construction with a supermarket, non-food shops, petrol
filling station and family restaurant. Barton Willmore provided
detailed town planning, urban design and extensive architectural
services for the residential development.Development on the site,
which was previously occupied by Huntsman plastics factory and
Grigg's shoe makers, will begin shortly and will comprise of a mix
of dwelling types:
• 12 x 1 bedroom flats
• 34 x 2 bedroom flats
• 15 x 3 bedroom houses
• 8 x 4 bedroom houses
• Fifteen of the 69 dwellings will be affordable dwellings for local
people
• six of the affordable dwellings will be earmarked for elderly
people
The architects at Barton Willmore have designed the dwellings
individually for the site so that they have a very bespoke feel and
reflect the character of the existing houses in the historic centre
of this Mendip town. The buildings have been designed so that they
form short terraces and mews courts and will be finished in stone
and render under pantile and slate roofs.
Barton Willmore consulted local residents and the town council
throughout the process and the high quality design was welcomed by
all consulted. The application was recommended for approval by
officers and granted unanimously by committee on 23rd May.
Said Ian Mellor, Partner, Barton Willmore: “We worked hard to ensure
that we consulted with the local residents of Shepton Mallet to
ensure that the scheme was sympathetic to the local area but also
met their needs. The development has been carefully designed to have
a strong sense of place whilst fitting into the informal street
pattern and urban form of the town centre."
