Services
The application is supported by a Flood Risk Assessment (FRA). The proposed built development is located within Flood Zone 1. Foul water is proposed to discharge to the existing public foul sewer running along the sites southern edge. It is understood that a pre-development enquiry has been submitted to Severn Trent Water.
Planning
The subject site is located within the planning jurisdiction of Wychavon District Council. Planning Policy for the site is set out in the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (SWDPR) 2026, adopted March 2026.
The site's pertinent planning history is outlined below:
W/23/02447/SCR - Request for Screening Opinion under Part 2 (6) of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations
2017 (as amended) for 76 dwellings with access from the B4042 through its southern boundary. - EIA not required 22/03/2024
W/24/01103/OUT- Development comprising up to 63 dwellings with open space, green infrastructure and surface water drainage system. All matters of layout, scale, appearance and landscape will be reserved for future determination. - Refused 07/03/2025.
APP/H1840/W/25/3373051- Appeal under section 78 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 relating to the Outline application for the development of up to 63 dwellings. Approved 23rd June 2026
An illustrative masterplan shows a proposed residential development of 63 dwellings providing a range of sizes and house types. It is anticipated that the predominant mix would be 2, 3 and 4 bed dwellings with some 1 bed dwellings. In terms of scale, the proposed development is based on each dwelling
being two-storeys in height. The proposed concept builds upon the existing landscape and topographic characteristics of the site.
The Illustrative Layout Plan shows a central area of Public Open Space extending to c. 0.8 ha. The development density equates to 30 dwellings per hectare net (excluding open space).
Primary vehicular access will be provided via Pershore Road through the southern boundary. Secondary roads are to spur off the principle route and serve dwellings that front onto the eastern and southern boundaries. A pedestrian / cycle access is proposed in the southwestern corner.
