South Worcester


Worcester, UK

Project type: Settlement Extension
Location: Worcester, UK

Stage: Outline Planning Application
Programme: 2011–ongoing

The draft South Worcestershire Joint Core Strategy identified the land south of St Peter’s in South Worcester as a site for a sustainable urban extension.

The draft plan is now emerging as the South Worcestershire Development Plan and will provide a planning framework that aims to ensure development has a positive impact on the environment. It is being jointly prepared by the three authorities of Malvern Hills, Wychavon and Worcester City.

The South Worcester development offers a model example of proactive engagement and positive working between various sectors and demonstrates the potential to deliver wildlife-friendly outcomes from development.
Worcestershire Wildlife Trust

A consortium, led by Welbeck Strategic Land LLP, is promoting the site at South Worcester and appointed JTP to draw up proposals for the site which now forms part of an outline planning application. The consortium is supporting the work being undertaken by the three planning authorities, to provide site specific evidence which will support the strategic allocation.
