Popes Lane
Rockwell Green
Persimmon Homes South West is seeking to submit an outline planning application to Somerset Council later this year for up to 250 much-needed, high-quality, new homes on land off Popes Lane to the south-east of Rockwell Green.
The development, featuring public open space, will address local housing needs, incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly features, and blend with the surrounding neighbourhood to foster a sense of place and community.
The scheme will provide a mix of house types and tenures, including much needed affordable housing for the area.
Persimmon is committed to leaving a positive and lasting legacy in the areas in which it develops, so will be engaging thoroughly with the local community to ensure our scheme delivers on local priorities.
Persimmon is engaging with Somerset Council on the emerging proposals and has consulted the South West Design Review Panel and Wellington Town Council, to help ensure that the development is high-quality and locally distinctive. All feedback to-date has been positive.
The plans are at an early stage and more information will be forthcoming and published on this website as they become available. This website explains the features of the application and provides an opportunity for you to respond to our questionnaire and give your views on the scheme.
