A new 500-bed housing campus is planned near Sedgemoor Crematorium, close to Somerset’s burgeoning £4 billion Agratas gigafactory site. The facility aims to ease housing pressure on nearby towns and villages by providing dedicated accommodation for factory workers. Located in the hamlet of Stretcholt, between Pawlett and West Huntspill, the campus will serve up to 2,000 workers employed at the Gravity enterprise zone—a major industrial hub under rapid development between Puriton and Woolavington.
