A DEVELOPER has outlined plans to build 162 homes and a new primary school on land adjacent to Brue Farm.

Barratt Homes said it is in the process of preparing a planning application to build 162 new 2, 3 and 4 bed family homes, a new primary school, a new roundabout on Huntspill Road, an accessible public open space and a play area on land adjacent to Huntspill Road, Highbridge.

Sedgemoor District Council has identified the Brue Farm site as a site suitable for delivering up to 950 new homes.

A spokesman for Barratt Homes, said the site would provide 'important pieces of infrastructure' to help service the additional homes, such as a new roundabout, and primary school.

Before submitting a planning application , Barratt Homes are holding a consultation event to get residents views on the plans.

A public exhibition will be held on September 25 at Highbridge Community Hall, on Market Street between 2pm and 7pm.

A spokesman for Barratt Homes said:“We’ve been working on the plans for this site for a number of years, and we’re pleased to be at a point now to share our thoughts with the local community.

“We are looking forward to hearing the community’s views on our proposals, which we feel offer a number of key benefits to the local area.”
