Planning news in and around Frome this week.

An application is in to Mendip to site a mobile homes in order to provide chef's accommodation at The Full Moon Inn on Rudge Lane in Rudge.

The building is grade II listed, primarily for its group value with the nearby Baptist Chapel and Chapel Cottage. It first started operating as an Inn in the 17th century and back in 1991 it was a profitable business with holiday lets of 17 rooms and a swimming pool. But as the planning application explains, the Inn became later run down. It has now been bought by a previous owner who wants to renovate the pub and once again create a place for holidaying, albeit on a smaller scale with just seven rooms.
