There are several infrastructure requirements relating to transport that are identified as being 'critical' when delivering new development in Yeovil.[2] Delivery of the highways infrastructure identified in the Eastern and Western Corridor studies are foremost among these highway improvements, including improvements to help alleviate congestion at the three major roundabouts in the town: Horsey, Hospital and Fiveways. Given the lack of public spending available for such schemes, it is likely that significant elements of 'critical' highways infrastructure will need to be funded from new development.

 

Non-highways transport improvements are also proposed in Yeovil, often relating to promoting sustainable travel e.g. improving the walking and cycling network, although these are identified as being 'necessary' rather than 'critical'.

Replacement facilities are identified as being required for two surgeries, along with an extension of a medical centre. A new health centre is required for the urban extension.
