Somer Valley Enterprise Zone

The first step in community engagement on proposals for a new commercial development in the Somer Valley will launch with a public webinar on May 19.

Bath & North East Somerset Council is bringing forward its plans to designate a Local Development Order (LDO) to simplify the planning process by removing the need for developers to make individual planning applications.

The order would support the sustainable growth of the Somer Valley Enterprise Zone to help create 1,300 more jobs for local people.

Residents will be invited to have their say on the proposals in a six-week public engagement programme, starting with the webinar on May 19 at 7.00pm.

Attendees of the webinar will hear from the design team who will present the plans and give residents the chance to express their views prior to submission of the LDO and associated formal consultation in late 2022.
