This area of just under 7 hectares and better known to many as the livestock market and Priory Bridge Road Car Park, presents a unique opportunity in the town for a superior large scale office development, complemented by some riverside homes and leisure facilities.

Situated on the southern perimeter of Taunton railway station and under 2 hrs commute to London, Firepool is also easily accessible by road. Two new major road schemes and a Park & Ride at Junction 25 of the M5 motorway planned for completion in 2009-10, promise to make this journey even easier.

In combination with its location, eco friendly carbon neutral buildings, attractive paths and cycleways and plans for combined heat and power generation suggest this area will be one of the most sustainable of its kind in Europe.

Nationally renowned developers have shown a huge interest in this site and Taunton Deane Borough Council are on schedule to select a development partner in summer 2007. We appreciate the huge amount of public interest in this development and encourage you to contribute to the planning process when the time comes.
