Cheddar and Axbridge are within a Local Community Network (LCN) of 10 parishes with a combined population of 17,600 (2021 census). The area is noted for its exceptional landscapes, particularly the 500ft high limestone Cheddar Gorge, recognised as one of the “four wonders of England”. The Gorge, along with the nearby Show Caves, is a major tourist attraction. The site will be accessed via a new 56-unit residential development and care home scheme, which is bounded by woodland to the northwest and open countryside to the west and southwest. South of the site are low density residential dwellings and to the northeast and east is the Cheddar Woods holiday resort and spa.
