The Peel Centre Development

Released On 28th Sep 2015

The Peel CentreDuring May, Yeovil Chamber Executive Team endorsed an objection by SSDC against an application to West Dorset District Council for a 2,200m2 retail expansion + 100 car parking spaces, at the Peel Centre, located just outside Yeovil at the foot of Babylon Hill. 

On 14th September WDDC threw out the application, citing: “The development would…negatively impact existing, committed and planned investment within Yeovil town centre” With a “…significant adverse impact on the vitality and viability of the already fragile economy of the town centre...”  It is unclear whether the developer will appeal.
