Midsomer Norton High Street Regeneration Programme

A High Street High Street Regeneration Programme has been established, with £3.7m of grant funding. This includes the designation of Midsomer Norton as a High Street Heritage Action Zone (HAZ), with £900k grant funding from Historic England.

We have used the HAZ designation as a catalyst for further successful grant bids to bring forward a range of impactful projects across the town:

  • Over £1.7m was awarded through WECA’s Love Our High Streets Fund
  • £450k was awarded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund
  • There have also been significant contributions from B&NES Council, through the Community Infrastructure Levy and Highways Maintenance budget, and from Midsomer Norton Town Council

This regeneration programme has made possible a range of impactful projects:

Looking beyond the current grant-funded projects, there is funding to undertake a masterplan exercise for the ‘Old Brewery Quarter’ in Midsomer Norton. The masterplan area covers the historic Midsomer Norton Brewery buildings in the centre of the High Street and extends around South Road, including the large municipal car park and the whole of the lower High Street fronting the River Somer. The masterplan exercise and public consultation events will focus on the vast potential for this area.
