Planning & technical


An application under reference 24/25/0019/cq was registered by Somerset Council 24 June 2025 for prior approval for the proposed change of use of an agricultural building into 1 No. Dwelling (use Class C3) on land adjacent to the junction of West Lane and Westmoor Drive, Hill Farm, Knapp, North Curry.

Subsequently Somerset Council did not make a formal decision within the applicable 56 day period. Zac Ellwood, Interim Area Manager at Somerset Council, wrote to our client 20 August 2025 to advise that "In this instance, because prior approval was obtained under W.11 (c) of Part 3 to Schedule 2 of the gpdo 2015, it is my opinion that the relevant "prior approval date" is the date that prior approval was deemed to have been approved - namely 19 August 2025". You therefore have until 19 August 2028 to complete the development".
