Whitehall has told our County Council to find land
to accommodate approx 25,500* dwellings in South Worcestershire by 2026 of which about 11,000*
houses must be found in or adjacent to Worcester City.This is a truely huge number, and has major implications for the whole
of our area.
The South Worcestershire Joint Core Stratagy (SWJCS) Prefered Options Paper published in
Autumn 2008 has put forward several sites surrounding Worcester, which cater for 7,300 new homes plus associated land
for development and further infrastructure.
We have already been consulted on the possibility of building
500 houses at "Gwillam's Farm Shop" to the west of the Ombersley Road and, in the coming months, residents in
Fernhill Heath and Droitwich are to be consulted on where in their communities development should occur.
Recently we
have been asked to give our views on potential sites for development within the Worcester City boundaries. This
would allocate the remaining approximately ,3500 houses, and further employment land.
This sadly, includes Church Farm,
Claines between Ombersley Road and Droitwich Road, land which has Greenbelt status.
