Description

The employment allocation (Use Class E & F) is identified on the site plan and forms part of a wider development including 200 residential dwellings and extensive public open space.

The allocation extends to circa 2.0 acres (0.8 ha) in total and sits on either side of the main access road which will link the B3187 Taunton road to the Railway Station/ Transport Interchange. The site is available as a whole or 2 individual plots of 0.5 acres and 1.5 acres.

Wellington is the sixth largest settlement in Somerset. It is strategically located close to Junction 26 of the M5 Motorway and as a consequence has experienced considerable growth due to Residential, Retail, Employment and Mixed use development.

The Longforth Farm development is located immediately adjacent to the proposed new Wellington Train Station and Transport Interchange. It is within 0.5 miles of Wellington town centre and 1.5 miles of junction 26 of the M5 motorway. The Longforth Farm development and Wellington Train station (Exeter to Bristol line) is accessed from the B3187 Taunton Road adjacent to the Lidl foodstore. The existing access will be extended to serve the whole development and is currently under construction with completion targeted for Dec 2026.
