A SITE with outline planning permission for 78 new homes near Wells is up for sale.
The plot, which stretches to almost 17 acres, is at Glencot Road, Wookey Hole, just over a mile from the centre of Wells.
It is being marketed by Greenslade Taylor Hunt (GTH), with offers being invited.
The proposed scheme for the site, accessed from Wookey Hole Road, is for a mix of open market and affordable homes and was given the go ahead at appeal in September 2025 and is the subject of 19 conditions.
A parcel of third-party land in the centre of the site is currently let via a farm business tenancy which expires in March 2026.
The deadline for the submission of offers is noon on Thursday, March 5.
“The landowner is particularly keen to hear from interested parties who have a track record in delivering affordable housing,” a GTH spokesperson said.
“In 2020 the landowner entered into a Promotion Agreement with land promoters Gladman to secure outline planning permission for residential development on the site and subsequently dispose of it.
“The site is not subject to Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) so no charge will be levied by Somerset Council on this development.”
For more detailed information and to arrange a viewing, contact Graham Ford or George Williams at the Development Land & Planning Department of GTH on 01823 334466, or email graham.ford@gth.net or george.williams@gth.net.
