Plans in for 30 south Worcestershire homes

Solihull-based Terra has submitted an outline planning application for 30 homes on the outskirts of the south Worcestershire village of Callow End.

Malvern Hills District Council cannot currently demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, which the proposed scheme could help to alleviate.

The planning application that has been lodged with Malvern Hills District Council is for 30 high quality dwellings, including a 40% provision of affordable homes. The proposed site density is 15 dwellings per hectare, to reflect the low density of the traditional village. The site is currently unused pasture land.

The masterplan and supporting Design and Access Statement have been produced by BHB Architects.

James O’Shea, managing director of Terra said: “We are excited about the opportunity to create a quality family-orientated niche development in this sought-after village location. In the Parish of Powick, where Callow End is located, local data indicates a demand for at least 21 affordable homes. Our proposals are for 12 of the 30 plots planned for this site to be designated as affordable, together with additional two and three bedroom homes which could be ideal for first time buyers.

“Delivering this scheme will add value to the immediate area, with 30 high quality new homes designed around extensive landscaping and Public Open Space. We look forward to working alongside officers, councillors and consultees while the application is being considered.”
