Coalpit Lane, Stoke St Michael

Curo is building a new 100% affordable housing development at Coalpit Lane, Stoke St Michael.

This development will be made up of 43 houses and 2 maisonettes with a mixture of, one, two, three and four bedrooms. 

Of these, 34 homes will be let as social rent through Somerset Council's choice-based lettings system and the other 11 will be available to purchase through the Shared Ownership scheme, offered on a part-buy/part-rent basis for local people who qualify. 

People interested in Shared Ownership can register their interest and check their eligibility with the Curo Sales Team.

Why develop the area?

There are over 2,000 households on the housing waiting list in the Mendip area. The housing crisis is pushing more and more families and young people out of the areas they’ve grown up in.

It's our priority as a housing association to provide much-needed new homes for local families and this scheme offers a great opportunity to create high-quality affordable housing for the area.

How will this scheme benefit the local community?

We want to preserve the heritage of Stoke St Michael and build sensitively to ensure future generations can live in the village in the years to come.

We will provide a mix of house types and tenures, helping to create a thriving and sustainable community and prioritise local people who, otherwise, may not be able to live in the village.

The proposed site layout and design of the new homes will also enhance and contribute positively to the appearance the area.

We submitted a reserved matters planning application in Summer 2024 and in December 2025 we were granted planning permission by Somerset Council to build the new homes. You can find more details on Somerset Council's planning portal by searching for Ref. 2024/1441/REM.
