Council Plans to Close Path Through Packsaddle Fields
Somerset Council plans to close a pathway through Packsaddle Fields to support a developer in obtaining planning permission.
The site, located on Frome's northern edge, has been owned by the council since 1973, with a permissive path allowed at the council's discretion.
- Somerset County Council decided to dispose of the land in March 2022.
- An Option Agreement was signed with developer LiveWest in July 2022.
- LiveWest submitted plans for 74 homes and a specialist home for children with disabilities in 2024, which were refused by the planning committee in January 2025.
The decision has been heavily criticised by local campaign group People for Packsaddle.
No comment from the council or the developer is available.
