A substantial greenfield development opportunity on the northwest edge of Glastonbury, offered with outline planning permission (Ref. 2021/2466/OTS) for up to 90 dwellings. The site extends to approximately 6.87 hectares (17 acres) of broadly level agricultural grassland and benefits from phosphate credits already secured, removing a key constraint to delivery. Vehicular access is proposed from Lowerside Lane (A39) with a secondary gate off Common Moor Drove.
The setting is semi-rural, bordered by allotments, Tor Rugby Club and recent housing to the southeast, with distant rolling-hill views that will appeal to family buyers. The site’s boundaries include rhynes (drainage ditches) fringed with vegetation and trees — an attractive landscape feature but one that will require careful engineering, ecological assessment and ongoing maintenance during construction and occupation.
Practical considerations are clear: the site is freehold with no flood risk recorded and mobile signal is excellent. However, broadband speeds in the area are slow and the local crime rate is above average — both factors that could influence marketing and specification choices for new homes. Outline permission must still be followed by reserved matters approval; purchasers should allow time and budget for detailed design, S278 works, infrastructure and any ecological mitigation linked to the rhynes and neighbouring uses.
For developers or investors seeking a sizeable, deliverable residential parcel close to Glastonbury’s amenities and good local schools, this site offers strong scale and planning advantages at a headline price point. The combination of secured phosphate credits and outline permission reduces upfront regulatory risk, but delivery will demand experienced project management, targeted infrastructure investment and mitigation measures for broadband and local social factors.
