The Glastonbury Town Deal has secured £23.6 million investment for the town, representing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver the objectives outlined in the Town Investment Plan
This is an opportunity to develop a site for non-bricks & mortar dwellers in Glastonbury.
In Glastonbury, there are 120+ people living on the roadside and off-grid in caravans – all in non-regularised areas which creates social, health, traffic congestion and economic challenges for a small town.
The Beckery Area on the edge of Glastonbury has become an unofficial base for non-bricks & mortar dwellers. The Town Deal presents an opportunity to provide a meanwhile site that will improve the situation for roadside dwellers.

A second site was purchased in 2024 and a planning application for this site is under preparation.
This project previously contained an element to address phosphate mitigation in the vicinity of the Glastonbury Town Deal projects and this element is no longer necessary as solutions are not yet available and phosphate mitigation does now not apply to commercial developments.
