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.

Frequently asked in Somerset
How wide does an infill plot need to be?
There is no fixed figure; it depends on the street. A plot that allows a home similar in width to its neighbours, with space to the sides, is a good start.
Will my neighbours be consulted?
Yes. The council consults neighbours on planning applications, and their comments are considered alongside policy.

For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Frome?
As Frome 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.
