A small village in Somerset is poised for significant development with plans for up to 100 new homes on Coat Road in Martock, pending approval of revised proposals. Martock LVA LLP initially secured outline planning permission from Somerset Council for the housing project, which includes the creation of new woodland and a community orchard. Although the council’s planning committee south, which oversees major applications in the former South Somerset area, approved the plans in January 2024, legal agreements were finalized only in September 2025.
