Residents have raised concerns over the plans to build two hundred and seventy new homes on the White Post site, situated between Midsomer Norton. This sits on the boundary between the two Councils, but does fall under the jurisdiction of Mendip Council.

"The following briefing note explains the position in relation to the challenge:
