Building New Homes
Following a change in legislation, the council has started building its first council homes in over 30 years. With a growing need in the area for housing, we are committed to delivering a range of brand new, energy efficient homes to meet the needs of the area. With the number of council houses in the area reducing year on year due to the Right to Buy scheme, we are working to provide housing across the district where it is needed most.
The first phase of council house builds consisted of converting underused garage site to build new homes. Three garage sites were selected, one in West Huntspill and two in Burnham on Sea. These were then developed into a combination of houses and flats, providing a total of 18 new homes.
