Bloor Homes submit a major planning application for
development to the west of Worcester
Developers, Bloor Homes, have submitted an
outline planning application to Malvern Hills District Council for
the development of up to 3,950 dwellings and 14 hectares of
employment land to the west of Worcester. The housing and
employment development is proposed by JS Bloor (Tewkesbury) Ltd and
would be built on land extending from the Crown East island, off
Bromyard Road, to north of Martley Road.
The proposals would include a new district
centre and two local centres, providing shops and services, with
land also set aside for a secondary school and two 2 form primary
schools. Formal and informal public open space would also be
provided.
Hard copies of the planning application are
available for inspection at Malvern Hills District Council’s
Customer Service Centre at the Library, Graham Road, Malvern and at
the Worcester City Council Customer Service Centre at Orchard
House, Farrier Street Worcester.
The Council has set up a dedicated bulletin
board which will provide regularly updated material about the
planning application, including details of the documents submitted,
progress with the application and consultation arrangements and
responses. A map illustrating the zone for community consultation
in the form of letters directed to specific addresses and
identifying the specific sites for the posting of site notices is
to be posted on the dedicated bulletin board. The consultation zone
covers properties within Malvern Hills District and properties
within the City boundary.
This proposal would result in a significant
urban extension to the west side of the City and the District
Council is keen to actively seek the views of the whole community
on the submitted planning application. Special and extended
consultation arrangements are being put in place and these will be
detailed on the bulletin board in due course. The District Council
anticipate more than one round of public consultation on this major
planning application.
Any person and interested parties wishing to
submit comments are invited to forward their views via the
Councils’ website at http://www.malvernhills.gov.uk/
or in writing to Planning Services, Malvern Hills District Council,
Council House, Avenue Road, Malvern WR14 3AF
