North Somerset is likely to have to find land for tens of thousands of new homes between now and 2036. As one option to help address this challenge, Taylor Wimpey is proposing to build up to three new villages, together with schools, employment space and infrastructure, in North Somerset. This website provides information on our emerging plans and is seeking your feedback to help shape our proposals.
