Project Overview

The proposals aim to deliver a garden community settlement on the edge of Frome, which comprises a mixed-use development of 1,700 homes, community hub, primary school, employment areas and public open space. The vision for the scheme is to deliver an innovative and sustainable community integrated with both the town and the countryside. Its aim is to help Fromer’s wider transition to a low carbon economy and will help enable the One Planet Living Agenda to be put into practice.

Our Role

We have been involved with this project since its inception, promoting the scheme through the Local Plans process as well as preparing a pre-application and planning application for the scheme. We are actively still managing the process with the Council through a Planning Performance Agreement and hope that the site will go to committee with a recommendation for approval in Summer 2024.
