NEWS: Have your say on Powick Neighbourhood Plan 

Residents in Powick can have their say on proposed plans for future development in their parish. 

The draft Powick Neighbourhood Plan sets out a vision up until the year 2041 and includes policies to guide development in the area. 

The plan focuses on objectives around environment, community facilities, housing, economic development, and more. 

Powick Parish Council has produced the document after working with the local community and have now submitted it to Malvern Hills District Council for final public consultation.  

This will start on Monday, 8 June 2026 and will run for six weeks, ending on 20 July 2026. 

Once the consultation is complete Malvern Hills District Council will appoint an independent examiner to examine the neighbourhood plan over the summer.  

Neighbourhood Plans are a key part of the Government's localism agenda to give local people more of a say on issues such as where new homes, shops and offices should be built, and the design of new developments. 

Cllr Dean Clarke, Assistant Portfolio Holder for Planning and Flooding at Malvern Hills District Council, said: "Well done to Powick Parish Council for producing this draft plan. It is an important document which will guide the way the parishes grow and develop in the future, so it is really important that the people of Powick share their views on the plan and its proposals."
