Land to the north-east of Great Ashby is identified in our adopted Local Plan as an allocated site for the development of approximately 600 homes and supporting infrastructure within the parish of Weston.
Policy SP18 of our Local Plan sets out a number of specific requirements for the site. These include:

- land reserved for education use, including a two-form entry Primary School
- access from Mendip Way and links into pedestrian, cycle and public transport networks
- integration of existing Public Rights of Way
- reinforcing the new Green Belt boundary along the north-eastern boundary
