About Othery - Planning Applications & Local Development

Othery is a historic parish and village in Somerset, established in 1515, located 7 miles east of Bridgwater and 4 miles north-west of Langport. Nestled on a detached section of Sowy island within the Somerset Levels, it spans 553 hectares following a 1985 boundary adjustment with Burrowbridge. The area's borders, defined by intricate ditches and walls, were developed from the 13th century onward to manage the waters of the River Cary and River Parrett, crucial for planning considerations in this flood-prone region. The other has a population of approximately 687 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Sedgemoor district.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Othery area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
