Plans to site a mobile home in the garden of a house in Biddisham have been given the green light by Sedgemoor District Council.

A planning application for a Certificate of Lawfulness for the proposed siting of a mobile home to provide additional living accommodation within the garden area of the existing dwelling at Westlea, Biddisham Lane, Biddisham, had been submitted by Robert Stiddard.

This application was made to confirm that the provision of a twin unit mobile home in the garden of his home to provide additional accommodation for occupation by his family as part of one household, would not result in operational development or a material change of use, and as such planning permission would not be required.

Sedgemoor agreed saying that was the case as the mobile home would be sharing Westlea's amenity space, access and parking arrangements.

One planning application in the Cheddar area has been submitted to Sedgemoor District Council this week:

Works to Trees: Ash (T1) dismantle, ash (T2) fell, ash (T3) dismantle, ash (T4) reduce to ground level at 7 Queens Row, The Cliffs, Cheddar, have been applied for by Longleat.
