Green light given to 120-home Kidderminster scheme
Bovis Homes has had plans approved for a 120-home development on the edge of Kidderminster which will be known as Habberley Park.
Wyre Forest District Council granted full planning permission for the scheme which will be built by Vistry Mercia, part of the national housebuilder Vistry Group, under its Bovis Homes brand.
Plans include a range of two, three and four-bedroom houses, four bungalows and provision for two custom-build plots for the private market, with a quarter of the properties being provided as affordable housing split between houses and apartments.
Construction work is due to get underway on the 13.8-acre site in the first quarter of 2024, with the first homes expected to go on sale in Spring 2024.
The development is set to bring in more than £1m of funding for local services and infrastructure as part of the planning agreement for the scheme.
Freya Halsall, marketing manager for Vistry Mercia said: “Securing planning permission for this development will enable us to deliver a range of attractive, high-quality and energy efficient homes to the Kidderminster area.
“Electric vehicle charging points and solar panels will be installed on some of the homes and almost half of the overall site will be publicly accessible green open space which is set to deliver a significant net gain in biodiversity.
“This is in addition to the £1 million investment we are making to improve transport, health, education and other local services for the benefit of new residents and the wider community”.
