Street residents are being urged to book a speaking slot at a parish council meeting about the proposed Brooks Farm development.

Street Parish Council's extraordinary meeting is due to take place at 6pm on Monday, 16 November. A notice circulating locally says residents can contact the parish clerk to register for a three-minute slot, by calling 01458 440588 or emailing [email protected].

The appeal urges residents to raise concerns about traffic access, including the proposed use of Brooks Road, Middle Brooks and Higher Brooks. It also claims the plans would narrow Brooks Road to 5.5 metres and use Higher Brooks, a single-track lane, as a main access route. Those details should be checked against the application documents before publication.

The application is for up to 160 homes on land at Higher Brooks, with access details included. Somerset Council's Planning East Committee deferred its decision in October for up to three months, asking for further consideration of construction traffic, school drop-off and parking arrangements, cycle links and the main access location on Brooks Road.

The parish council meeting is separate from Somerset Council's planning decision. Residents wishing to speak should confirm the arrangements and any deadline with the parish clerk.
