LOT A - Permission in Principle for up to 9 no. units

LOT B - Additional strategic land available

Total plot area of 4.64 Acres

The subject site is located on the south-western edge of Badsey, a large village situated roughly 1.2 miles east of Evesham in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire. The site fronts the southern side of Badsey Fields Lane and sits a short walk west of the junction with Bretforton Road, one of the main approaches into the village.

Badsey is a traditional market-garden settlement characterised by a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war estates and more recent infill housing. Everyday amenities including a shop, primary school, community club, church and two public houses are located in the village, within 0.5 miles of the site. Evesham offers a further range of amenities and transport connections, with rail links to Worcester and Oxford in addition to well-connected bus routes.

The site extends to a total of 4.64 acres (1.88 ha) of agricultural land located immediately east of the ribbon housing along Badsey Fields Lane on the eastern edge of Badsey. The parcel is predominantly flat and currently presents as open grassland bordered by low hedgerows, with no built structures on the land itself. The site is bordered by open arable fields to the east and south, while detached and semi-detached dwellings front Badsey Fields Lane to the west.

The site is offered in Lots which includes c.2.45 acres immediately accessed off Badsey Fields Lane to the north (Lot A) and the remaining land which is shaded blue on the front page. Offers for part and the whole will be considered, with exact boundaries to be confirmed.

The site lies within the planning jurisdiction of Wychavon District Council. Planning Policy is covered by the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP). The plan is currently undergoing review. The south Worcestershire Councils have formally submitted the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (SWDPR) and associated evidence base documents to the Secretary of State for independent examination, with adoption expected in late 2026. Until then the 2016 SWDP and the neighbourhood plan remain the principal policy documents.

The subject site is located outside any national landscape, flood-risk or heritage designations.

Strategic Housing & Employment Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA)
The parcel was assessed in Wychavon's 2022 Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment as site CFS0126 (1.46 ha). It was classed as technically deliverable and therefore ruled in to the SHELAA, but it was not carried forward as a preferred allocation because officers considered that extending development behind the established frontage on Badsey Fields Lane would harm the village's linear character.

The site benefits from the following Permission in Principle:
W/24/02121/PIP - Permission in principle for up to 9 open market dwellings. Approved on 10th March 2025.

The site is not currently registered for VAT; however, the landowner retains the right to opt to tax.

Lot A - (land with benefit of PIP)
Lot B - wider strategic land
Lots A & B
