Details
This is a residential development opportunity situated to the immediate east of the
roundabout at Cannington where the A39 and Main Road meet. There are good transport links to Bridgwater and the M5 and
the national motorway network beyond.
Cannington is located 6 miles south of Hinkley Point, where EDF are constructing a new power station that will create significant new local employment opportunities. The site is currently used for agricultural grazing and is sited on the southern edge of the village. The northern boundary lies adjacent to residential dwellings located along Southbrook and Lonsdale Road and the eastern boundary abuts agricultural land. The southern boundary lies adjacent to Cannington Grange and the western boundary abuts Main Road. The land is broadly level and is set across a large enclosure that is bound by hedgerows.
