Plans for 28 new homes on Head Street in the village of Tintinhull, near Yeovil, have been approved by local councillors for the fourth time following a Supreme Court ruling, ending a nine-year struggle. Abbey Manor Homes Ltd. first secured outline planning permission in October 2017 after appealing to the Planning Inspectorate. Later, Orwell Ltd. purchased the site and submitted amended proposals in July 2020, receiving approval from Somerset Council’s planning committee in October 2023.
