Bleadon BOB has been informed that residents in the Bleadon Hill area have received the following letter from Corylus for a 40 houses development, diagonally opposite Hillicote. (The letter is re-typed for clarity at the end of this blog.)
Bleadon Parish Council has received correspondence from "Corylus (planning consultancy) – request to discuss planning application in Weston but adjacent to Bleadon". (July 19 Min 324.24.9) BPC has stated that it will discuss this pre-application at their 20 August BPC meeting in a closed session where members of the public will be asked to leave the room, not sure why?
"Min 325.29 - To Discuss a confidential pre-application notification. Corylus (planning consultancy) are preparing a pre-app in Weston but adjacent to Bleadon."
Be aware that any concerns informally raised by residents at this stage may be mitigated by the developers before they submit their actual application to North Somerset for formal public consultation.
There was a previous application related to this site in 2014 for 79 houses which was subsequently turned down on Appeal.
Dear Sir Madam,
Proposed Residential Development, Land at Bleadon Hill, Weston-super-Mare.
Corylus Planning and Environmental Limited have been instructed by Innova Consulting Services Limited to prepare and submit a planning application to North Somerset Council for a development of up to 40 houses at Bleadon Hill. We are writing to you as the application site adjoins the boundary of your property or is very close to it.
The application will be an outline planning application, which means that the layout and landscaping of the development, along wth the scale, desing and material of the proposed houses will be determined at a later stage should outline planning permission be granted. However, the access into the site will be considered as part of the outline planning application.
We have sought technical advice from transport, ecological and drainage consultant to inform the proposal. We have also studied the previous appeal decision and designed the development to overcome the concerns raised in relation to the landscape impact.
An indicative masterplan will accompany the planning application which will demonstrate to the Council that the site can adequately accommodate up 40 houses, along with internal roads, car parking and public open space. An extract of the masterplan is shown overleaf.
Two parameter plans will also accompany the planning application and they will fix the parameters for Green Infrastructure and building heights, providing a framework which will inform the subsequent detailed planning applications. The former parameter plan will ensure that the proposed public open space will be delivered. The latter parameter plan will fix maximum height limits for buildings across the site and will ensure that the developmetn will be predominately dormer (or "chalet") style bungalows.
There will also be affordable homes within the developement to meet a local need and the proportion will be agreed withthe Council during the consideration of the planning application.

More houses for Bleadon Hill ??
Residents on the hill approaching this site have not notified. The lane approaching this section of Bleadon hill is narrow and not wide enough to allow cars to pass. There is no foot path in front of the existing houses and traffic to and from the village use this as a ‘rat run.” Many totally oblivious to speed, making it highly dangerous as it is to get out onto the lane. There is no justification whatsoever for any more houses on Bleadon hill.
