For sale by in Room & Livestream Auction on Wednesday 31st May 2023 at 2pm.

A potential residential development opportunity within the sought after Somerset town of Somerton. Historic outline planning for a new two storey home with new plans currently lodged with Somerset District Council.



Located close to the centre of Somerton, The Old Dairy Shop is a former commercial unit, offering significant potential for residential development, or renovation for continued commercial use.
Currently in need of renovation, the property offers vehicular access to off-street parking from Behind Berry, and sits in a site of approximately 0.046 acres.

Proposed development
Outline planning permission was granted on 10th January 2011 for the demolition of the existing buildings and the erection of a residential development with vehicular access from Behind Berry (10/04436/OUT). The initial proposal was for a two-storey, three bedroom house, allowing for a garage, parking and rear garden areas.
This planning permission has now lapsed, but new plans have been submitted to Somerset District Council (21/03812/FUL) for the change of use of building from commercial to residential including alterations to the existing buildings with raised roofline. These plans currently await a decision, having been submitted on 2nd March 2022.
The currently submitted plans allow for a two-storey, four bedroom dwelling with courtyard garden and off-road parking for one vehicle.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
