Tilia Homes, the developer behind the Maple Grove project off Lang Road in Crewkerne, secured planning permission on appeal in November 2025 to build the homes near the Cathole Bridge Road level crossing, which spans the London to Exeter railway line. Currently, legal agreements stemming from a 2020 appeal require that development cannot start until a public footpath crossing the railway west of the level crossing—footpath CH27/21—is officially closed or “stopped up” for safety reasons.
