Supermarket giant Tesco has this week submitted a formal planning application to build 17 new homes on land at the western end of its Burnham-On-Sea store in Love Lane.
Tesco’s plans for the new homes were first reported by Burnham-On-Sea.com in July but firm proposals have only just emerged this week.
The company has submitted its application for outline planning permission to Sedgemoor District Council, who will consider the scheme in detail over the next few weeks.
If approved, the scheme would see a development of new homes being built at the rear of the Rosewood inn in Love Lan on land running to the back of existing homes in Ashcott Place. The new homes are in line with its plans to extend its store, which are shown below.
Last week, the supermarket defended its plans against criticism from shop owners in Burnham town centre who fear the enlarged store could hurt their trade.
