A Historic Village with Modern Appeal in the Heart of Somerset
A Picturesque Village with a Rich History
Paulton, nestled amidst the scenic Mendip Hills in Somerset, is a charming village that beautifully combines rural allure with modern conveniences. Once a bustling coal-mining hub, Paulton has evolved into a thriving community of 5,300 residents, boasting a rich history and a welcoming atmosphere.
Prime Location and Connectivity
Paulton is favoured by residents for its quintessential village charm and its strategic proximity to major Southwest cities like Bristol and Bath. The village is also close to popular destinations such as Cheddar Gorge, Pensford Viaduct, and Chew Valley Reservoir. With around 2,700 homes, Paulton is one of the largest villages in Bath & North East Somerset, well-connected to nearby Midsomer Norton (2 miles south), Bristol (14 miles northwest), and Bath (8 miles north).
Amenities and Residential Appeal
Paulton offers an abundance of amenities for a village of its size, including the Paulton Memorial Hospital with a minor injuries department, Elm Hayes doctors’ surgery, a dentist, ambulance services, and various retail and leisure facilities. The area is predominantly residential, featuring a mix of detached and semi-detached houses of varying age, scale, and design. The surrounding landscape is largely rural, characterised by rolling countryside dotted with satellite villages and towns connected to the nearby cities of Bristol and Bath.
Linking Rural Charm to Urban Convenience
Paulton’s transport connectivity is characterised by its strategic location, offering convenient access to major cities and nearby attractions. The village is well-connected by road, making it easy for residents to travel to Bristol (14 miles northwest) and Bath (8 miles north), with both cities accessible within a 20-30 minute drive.
- Travel by Car
Paulton benefits from superb transport links, with a 23 min drive (9.3 miles) north east to Bath via the B3115 and A367, and a 36 min (12.8 miles) drive north to Bristol via the A37.
- Travel by Bus
Public transport options include bus services that connect Paulton to surrounding towns and cities. The nearest bus stop is just 500m from the site with buses travelling to:
1.39 Acre Greenfield Site with Planning Potential for an 80 Bed Care Home
The site borders Hallatrow Road (B3355) to the west and benefits from immediate road access to the north and west along Hallatrow Road respectively.
The area is undergoing significant redevelopment, to the northeast is a recently developed residential housing scheme from Bovis Homes for 205 dwellings. To the south is post-war residential housing with open countryside to the north and west.
The site slopes downward from south-west to north east and there is a level difference across the site of approx. 5.5m.
The site benefits from mature trees along its boundaries and a feature landscaped green space is situated to the east of the site and contains 3 mature trees as a focal point of the adjacent housing development.
A public foot path runs along the north boundary and a newly constructed roundabout has been created to provide access from Hallatrow Road to the housing development.
Contextual Design, Blending Massing with Local Architectural Forms
Key features to the design:
4284 m2 Total GIA
2 storeys
80 en-suite bathrooms
53.5 m2 Total GIA per resident
26 on site car parking spaces, incl. 2 disabled spaces, 2 EV charging bays, and a ambulance bay
Lounges, dining rooms, and external terraces on all levels
Private and secure garden areas with a communal courtyard garden
Contemporary café, activity room, private dining, cinema, hair and beauty salon
The site layout has been informed by the access position from Hallatrow Road and the remaining site efficiency has been prioritised to maximise the site area.
The building layout has been designed to reflect the linear shape of the site and the existing topography, featuring landscape zones at ground and first floor level to offer diverse outdoor experiences with the amenity spaces.
A designated deliveries space provides convenient access to the services entrance and bin store, and the car parking arrangement has been designed to create an internal turning area and will be sympathetically landscaped to create a welcoming entrance to the care home. The site benefits from mature trees and landscaping which has been maintained to soften the visual impact of the development against the neighbouring properties.
Thoughtful Design,
Harmonising Building Orientation with the Landscape
