(2 Jan 2014)
Plans have been submitted to Mendip District Council for the homes,
in Welshmill Lane
The company is a registered provider of affordable homes and first gained planning permission for up to 37 homes in 2011.
The site, which covers just over one acre, was formerly CEP Ceilings Ltd and Yarlington was recently granted planning approval to clear the old factory.
If the application is given the go-ahead there will be two three-storey buildings consisting of 12 units in each block, which will be social housing, and eight two-storey homes, which will be shared ownership properties.
Plan 2 / Little Keyford Lane.
A new affordable housing scheme has been proposed for the Little Keyford Lane area of the town.
The proposals have been put forward by Benchmark Development Planning, based in Salisbury.
The plans include 23 affordable homes, new vehicular access, access road and footpath, landscape, bin stores, play area, underground sewage plant and other works to create a small affordable enclave for a housing association.
The full application will also include 50 car parking spaces.
The land, which is just over an acre, was used as low grade grazing until October 2000, according to the applicants.
Four one-bedroom, four two-bedroom, 12 three-bedroom and three four-plus bedroom are planned for the site.

Update : 17 January 2014: Local residents have assured me that the properties on Keyford Lane area will not be built. My article alerted to the fact that someone was trying again and the local folks have again added their united support to stopping the build. One of the reasons was because that area gets completely drenched in rainy times and if the field was not there to absorb the rain, then the whole street area would get cut off and possibly the homes that are there already will get flooded.
Welshmill Development Update of 16 January 2014.
THIRTY-TWO family homes and apartments on land at Welshmill Lane look like nothing better than cow sheds, according to Frome planners.
Poor layout and design, a lack of amenities and the use of cheap materials are some of the problems surrounding an application by Yarlington Housing Group, say members of Frome Town Council's planning committee.
Permission has already been granted on the one-acre site formally home to C E P Ceiling Ltd, next to Rossetti House opposite the allotments at Welshmill, but planners are now being asked to agree to the detail such as layout, materials used, access, parking and servicing, gardens and landscaped areas.
At last week's planning committee, councillors said the plastic windows and cement tiles proposed would mean the homes looked cheap. So-called "shared space" was nothing more than a car park.
Planning chairman councillor Graham Burgess condemned the layout.
Mr Burgess said: "It was a nice scheme at the outline application, that was just the bait but there is no reason why it cannot go back to something more akin to that."
Planners were also concerned that there were no gardens, nowhere to sit outside and no balconies, describing the plans as "really grim".
The development is for two three-storey buildings made up of a dozen units in each block which will be for social housing and eight two-storey homes providing shared ownership properties.
Yeovil-based Yarlington describes itself as a not for profit organisation, but councillors said the plans at Welshmill did not meet needs highlighted in the Mendip housing survey.
The committee recommended refusal on the application and it will now go to Mendip's planning committee.
