The Saxonvale site was subject to two competing proposals – one from Bristol-based Acorn Property Group, the other from locally-based Mayday Saxonvale.
But just 24 hours after Somerset Council announced in July it would be selling the site to Acorn, it dropped out. Mayday Saxonvale then said in early-August that it had opened talks with the council saying it was in a position to begin work very soon.
Somerset Council has declined to set a date for a future decision on the site – but hinted that the future of the site would be settled before Christmas.
Mayday Saxonvale director Paul Oster said: “We have had an initial positive meeting with Somerset Council.
“We look forward to continuing an open dialogue and moving forward with the sale of the Saxonvale site for our community.”
