Tatworth Park / Snowdon Grange housing development on the fringe of Chard in South Somerset. More fields and hedgerows lost!

Work has started on the Tatworth Park housing development on the edge of Chard on fields between Tatworth Road (A358) and Forton Road (B3162) in South Somerset.  Another few acres of agricultural land together with hundreds of yards of hedgerow have been sacrificed to provide homes for England’s burgeoning population.

I took some photos of the changing landscape, just after the bulldozers moved in.

Update March 2021.

I see that the developers have changed the name of the housing development from Tatworth Park to Snowdon Grange.  I suspect they thought the original name sounded a bit down market?!
