New homes at Cuckoo Hill, Bruton

Strongvox Homes is proposing to build 49 high quality new homes on land accessed off Cuckoo Hill, Bruton, 35% of which will be affordable.

The proposals include the creation of a large area of public open space in the centre of the proposed site, retaining existing oak trees and measures to help address high phosphate levels in the local water system.

Following a meeting with the Town Council and members of the public on 10th April we have launched this website to provide the local community with the opportunity to have their say on the emerging proposals before we finalise the plans and submit a planning application to Somerset Council.

A walk-in consultation event will be held at Bruton Community Hall, Silver Street, Bruton, Somerset, BA10 0EB between 3:30pm and 8pm on Monday 29th April. All are welcome
