Plans to build an agricultural fodder and machinery store in Draycott have been withdrawn.

A planning application for the construction of an agricultural building for use as a fodder/machinery store and the extension to an existing hard-core access driveway on land at Vicarage Lane, Draycott, had been submitted to Mendip District Council by Ian Winter.

The proposed building was to be located next to an existing building, providing adequate storage for the fodder produced from both existing land and a neighbouring area of 22 acres the applicant has recently purchased.

However, Rodney Stoke Parish Council objected to the plans saying it considered the access to the site to be poor as the road is a narrow residential road with no passing places, and the proposal has now been withdrawn.

One planning application in the Cheddar area has been submitted this week:
