New homes in Cheddar
Situated in Cheddar, Oak Park is a charming new community of 96 homes, coming soon.
At Oak Park, we will provide a range of 3 and 4 bedroom homes in a sought-after location with plenty of amenities on your doorstep. The development has been designed to complement the local area, and with a mix of traditional and modern architecture, the homes at Oak Park will have plenty of character. Whether you're looking to get onto or move up the property ladder, there's something for everyone at Oak Park.
Located in the countryside of Somerset, Cheddars's historic town is just a two minute drive away from the development, boasting a range of amenities including high street shops and restaurants.
Cheddar also has excellent travel links via road and rail. The M5 is just 9 miles away, getting you to Bristol, Weston-super-Mare and Exeter with ease. Bristol airport is just 12 miles away, making travelling further afield simple.
We have received Reserved Matters planning approval for residential development of up to 96 homes on Land at Round Oak Farm, Cheddar. The application includes the provision of 30% affordable homes, ensuring that local people are able to live and work in the local area. Planning permission was granted 13th January 2022.
The land, which is accessed from Upper New Road is surrounded by countryside giving this development a lovely outlook for its mixed range of homes including 1,2,3 and 4 bedroom homes. This is in the form of maisonettes, terraces, semi-detached and detached homes with on-plot parking.The site was granted outline planning permission from Sedgemoor District Council in May 2020. About the site About the site The proposed development site is located on the north western edge of Cheddar and is bounded by Axbridge Road to the north-east, Round Oak Road to the south and Upper New Road (A371) to the west.
The site is approximately 8.2 hectares (20 acres) in size and consists of several agricultural fields in connection with Round Oak Farm. What is proposed What is proposed
We are currently preparing a layout for submission for the residential development which will be shaped by discussions with the planning authority.
Our Reserved Matters planning application for the residential development was granted 13th January 2022 and the application was shaped by discussions with the planning authority.
Key elements of the proposed development will be as follows:
-
The scheme has been designed to work within the constraints and opportunities of the site to create a sustainable development
-
Up to 96 new high-quality homes
-
A mix of property types and sizes, including 1-4 bedroom homes in in the form of maisonettes, terraces, semi-detached and detached homes
-
Provision of affordable housing (30%)
-
New vehicle junction access from Upper New Road
-
Additional pedestrian/cycle access via Axbridge Road and Round Oak Road in order to encourage and facilitate walking and cycling for local journeys
-
Car parking will be provided for residents and visitors, in line with Local Authority policy requirements and standards
-
Additional secondary and tertiary roads to provide access to outer edges of development
-
Two area’s of children’s play spaces provided within public open space
-
Retention and protection of existing landscape and ecological features wherever possible including hedgerows, Holwell Rye through the centre of the site and marshland area in south-western corner

We believe our proposals will carry wider benefits to the community beyond the provision of new homes. These benefits will include a number of financial contributions that will be made towards the local community as part of our proposed development, in agreement with the relevant local authorities.
These will be in the form of a Section 106 Agreement and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) which totals to approximately £1.2 million. Further details of these contributions will be released once finalised with the council.
