Planning secured for sixth phase of housing scheme

Plans have been approved for the latest phase of 59 homes at William Davis Homes’ Copcut Rise development in Droitwich, Worcestershire.

This will be the sixth phase of the ongoing scheme, with the 1.55 hectare site containing a mix of terraced semi-detached and detached, two, three and four bedroom houses, 39% of which will be affordable homes.

Peter Brown, studio director at Stephen George + Partners (SGP), the architects for the scheme, said: “SGP has been working with William Davis at Copcut Rise since 2012, and we are delighted to see the latest phase of this popular development win planning approval.

“Our designs are complementary to the scheme as a whole and develops the vision of the existing masterplan. When complete, it will contain just under 700 houses, with just over 600 already built. The variety of housing types will appeal to a wide range of local people, with the social housing element integrated seamlessly.”

Stephen Rush for William Davis Homes said: “This is an important development where houses are in great demand. As with all our sites, the quality of design and construction really matters to us. That’s why we greatly value our partnership with SGP. We look forward to starting work on the new phase in due course.”
