A DETACHED house near a park could be demolished and replaced by nine flats.

Rohia Developments has submitted a planning application for the scheme on Hamilton Road, Taunton.

It wants to put up three three-storey blocks linked to each other on the 0.13-acre site.

Each home would contain two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and living area.

There would also be 18 cycle parking spaces and electric vehicle charging points.

Somerset West and Taunton Council planners will rule on the application at a later date.
