Consultations

Discussion on the Site Allocations and Policies Plan for the villages and rural areas across South Worcestershire

Towards the end of 2009 we held consultations in the main towns across South Worcestershire, (Worcester, Droitwich Spa, Evesham, Pershore, Malvern, Tenbury Wells and Upton-upon-Severn.  Over 1,000 people visited the staffed events and made their comments to the SWJCS team.

Similarly, during January to March 2010 the focus was turned to the rural areas of Malvern Hills and Wychavon Districts.  Planners asked residents, businesses and others where they thought there were opportunities for houses, jobs, community facilities, open space and other land uses within some of the villages across the locality to provide for future development needs. 

We asked local views on potential sites, and what sort of policies we will need to guide further development and ensure the rural areas of the district thrive towards the middle of the century. 

The closing data for the Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan consultation has now ended (30th April 2010).
