You can object up until the decision is made, it does not matter that the "Consultation deadline" has passed. Your name and personal details will NOT be published.

Key points:

The site is Green Belt agricultural land.

It is next to Ashton Hill Wood, a Site of Nature Conservation Interest and a Local Green Space in the new Local Plan.

Permission would precedent building on all the fields around the Failand triangle.

The proposal would destroy the character of Failand as a small village surrounded by green fields.

Failand is a small village with none of the facilities of a town.

The fields around Failand are NOT proposed for any form of development in the North Somerset Local Plan 2041 pre-submission plan:

The site was assessed as "Less Sustainable - sites not considered consistent with spatial strategy of emerging Local Plan" in the "Pre-submission plan 2040: additional sites consultation" as were all the proposed sites on fields around Failand:
