Major Milestone Achieved For Bunford Park
Abbey Manor were delighted to achieve a major milestone on the Bunford Park project with the grant of the outline planning permission on 23rd March 2011.
This followed a long gestation starting as far back as 2004 when Abbey Manor commenced the promotion of this location as the preferred site for Yeovil’s strategic business park. There followed a specially convened session of the South Somerset Local Plan Inquiry in 2005 to consider alternative locations leading to a report published in November recommending the Bunford Location, which was endorsed by the Local Plan adopted in 2006. The current Outline Planning Application was submitted in November 2007 and has taken 3 and a half years to be determined following detailed consideration of traffic mitigation measures.
Bunford Park is therefore very much open for business and with 15 Ha of land has the capacity to cater for the expansion needs of South Somerset’s largest commercial centre for many years to come.
