Bailiffs have today visited to take back possession of the site.
The land, formerly used as Portishead Approach Golf Course, benefits from two Public Rights of Way which connect Nore Road with the coastal footpath. These footpaths are unaffected and will remain open to the public.
Councillor Ash Cartman, executive member for corporate services, said: “Given the unpaid rent arrears and failure to maintain the site, we’ve acted to forfeit the lease in order to be able to protect the future of this land.
“This is a good example of partnership working with North Somerset Council, Portishead Town Council and local residents all involved in planning this action. Thank you to everyone involved in getting us to this point.”
