Plans to create a new home and demolish the existing commercial buildings at Chelm's Combe Quarry in Cheddar have been given approval after a previous proposal for 11 holiday lodges there were withdrawn.

The planning application for the building of a dwelling and demolition of existing commercial units on land at Chelm's Combe Quarry, Tuttors Hill, Cheddar, had been submitted to Sedgemoor District Council by IQL.

The former Chelm's Combe Quarry has had several different uses since its closure several decades ago.

The wider site currently has a number of commercial uses, as well as having planning permission for three residential dwellings currently being built. It was formerly used as a structural test centre with some of the infrastructure still present.

A previous application proposed to change the use of part of the site for 11 holiday lodges, but this application was withdrawn and replaced by the application for one residential unit, which has now been given the green light.
