Draft Core Strategy (incorporating Preferred Options)
Yeovil Urban Village
5.38 The Yeovil Urban Development Framework (YUDF) completed in 2005 identifies a triangle of land between Stars Lane, Park Street / South Street and Dodham Brook for regeneration/re-development. The YUDF proposes this area suitable for around 400 dwellings including a mix of leisure and retail uses at ground floor level. This is a major opportunity to bring investment back into an underused part of the town centre and is considered to be of a strategic scale justifying inclusion in the Core Strategy. The location of the Urban Village is shown on the proposals map.
The Yeovil Urban Village is identified as a strategic location for a mixed-use scheme including 400 dwellings, retail and leisure uses in the town centre.
The Yeovil Urban Village will be developed to Eco-town standards as listed with the Eco-town PPS the supplement to PPS1 and defined within the Core Strategy. Adoption of Eco-town standards is subject to viability assessment.
