A planning application for the building of two detached dwellings including parking provisions on land to the rear of Wassels House, Upper New Road, Cheddar, has been submitted by Messrs A and R Mason.

The proposed dwellings would be detached two-storey properties, with rooms within the roof space, and of a traditional design.
