About Sydenham - Planning Applications & Local Development
Sydenham, located in the parish of Wembdon, Somerset, is home to the Grade II listed Sydenham House, an early 16th-century manor house that underwent significant renovations after 1613. The area was historically marked by the presence of British Cellophane Ltd, which operated extensive factories on a 59-acre site until production ceased in 2005. The industrial site was cleared between 2010 and 2015 and is now owned by EDF Energy, which acquired both the manor and the former factory site for plans to develop temporary accommodation for 1,000 workers. It sits within the Sedgemoor district.
Property prices in Sydenham show an average sale price of £289,209, based on 50 recent transactions recorded by HM Land Registry. There are currently no active flood warnings for the Sydenham area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present.
