Land south of Oldway Road,
Wellington
WELCOME
Welcome to the community consultation website for the proposed development at
Land south of Oldway Road, Wellington.
Wellington LVA are preparing an appeal under Section 78 of Town and Country Planning Act 1990 against the refusal by Somerset Council of planning application reference 44/25/0013 at Land south of Oldway Road, Wellington under the following description of development:
"Outline Planning with all matters reserved, except for access, for the erection of up to 250 No. dwellings, public open space, ecological/biodiversity enhancements and associated works with details of access on land south of Oldway Road, Wellington."
This consultation sets out further and amended information for the application proposals to be submitted with the appeal. The further information prepared can be found alongside details of how to respond further below.
Please ensure your comments are issued by no later than 23rd October 2026.
Please note that this is not a consultation run on behalf of Somerset Council. The purpose of the consultation is to consult on the amended proposals and not on the Appellant’s future appeal against the Council’s decision. Somerset Council will contact interested parties separately to respond to the appeal once lodged.
All comments received will be shared with both The Planning Inspectorate and Somerset Council with the appeal submission. Consultation responses will then be considered by the appointed Inspector alongside all other consultation responses that have already been received at application stage and under the appeal process. All comments submitted will be in the public domain and may be referred to during the appeal.
Details of the application as determined can be found via the Council website www.somerset.gov.uk or direct to the planning application search function here using the reference 44/25/0013.
