Somerset, as used here, includes Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Portishead, Clevedon and Keynsham as well as Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater and Frome. Green Belt lies around Bath and Bristol in the north, and Exmoor National Park and the Mendip Hills, Quantock Hills, Blackdown Hills, Cranborne Chase and Cotswolds National Landscapes cover much of the rest. The Somerset Levels and Moors are at high flood risk, so sites on higher ground are often favoured.

No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 102 miles from Burnham-on-Sea, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Burnham-on-Sea?
As Burnham-on-Sea is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
