Situated at the junction of Isle Abbotts Road and Stowey Lane, between Ilminster and Langport, the site was originally approved for five pitches earlier this year by Somerset Council. Now, the council has approved an extension to the site, enabling more families to settle on what is primarily a modest, rectangular parcel of land unsuitable for agricultural use.
