The WSRA Board report that Conditional Planning Approval for a turning triangle at Norton Fitzwarren has been announced by Taunton Deane Borough Council. The statement continues "This will allow the construction of a turning triangle in line with the drawings and details previously published. In keeping with the sensitive nature of the land which is rural and a natural flood plain the approval contains a number of conditions which have to be met before, during and after the construction. In particular there will now need to be a period of detail design and submission of our proposals for the construction, drainage and landscaping of the scheme. The Board now intend to proceed with the designs as rapidly as possible in order to be able to complete the work and provide this much needed facility as soon as possible. It is however inevitable that there will appear to a further period of inactivity whilst this work is completed behind the scenes. The Board is grateful for the support of our members, the WSR Plc, the communities of Norton Fitzwarren, Taunton Deane and West Somerset and particular individuals for the support and encouragement we have received in bring this application to a successful conclusion."

On 3 May 2004, the Association's Permanent Way Gang were asked to install a post and wire fence across a corner of the field near the old Barnstaple line trackbed. Also, the Gang worked on making a new access road for a neighbour, a market gardener, who has right of way across the WSRA land. This involved a new entrance from the public road, a deep ditch piped and bridged and the old access point filled in. Meantime, a contractor was ploughing the fields and later these were sown with grass.

Ambitious new proposals to boost tourism and further develop the southern end of the Minehead Branch have been announced today by the West Somerset Railway Association which has just bought a large area of land at Norton Fitzwarren.
Subject to planning authority approval, the WSRA hope that the 33-acre site would not only eventually provide vitally needed new railway servicing facilities, but also would lead to new engineering jobs for the area.Click here for the story in more detail...
