North Somerset could soon layout their own plans for developing the area up to the year 2026, after being given the go-ahead by an independent government inspector.

The Council had objected to being included in a regional south west plan - which they say would've seen almost 27-thousand homes 'imposed' on them, including a development on green belt land.

They say the revised deal would mean a need for just 14-thousand, avoiding the green belt - and the recommendations will be considered by Full Council in April.
