Mitchells Hill near Ilminster in South Somerset. A view soon to disappear?


The Council’s South Somerset District Local Plan Review for Ilminster suggests that up to 400 houses will be built on open agricultural land south of Canal Way between the Meadow’s Surgery and Coldharbour Farm.
While enjoying a recent stroll around Ilminster I took some photos from the cycle path (NCN Cycle Route 33) behind Adams Meadow.  I believe this pleasant view of Mitchells Hill will soon be obscured by housing.
So, it seems yet another corner of this green and pleasant land will disappear under bricks, mortar and tarmac in order to accommodate England’s burgeoning population.  
A view towards Mitchells Hill from the cycle path near Adams Meadow, Ilminster in South Somerset.  Soon to be obscured by housing?
