THE latest part of a huge ongoing plan to build thousands of homes around the edge of Worcester has been revealed.
Major housing developer Bloor Homes has revealed the second phase of its major proposal for Worcester which will eventually see up to 1,400 homes built between Oldbury Road and Martley Road to the west of the city.
The developer has submitted a reserved matters application to Malvern Hills District Council which looks at a small share of the overall development and, if approved, would allow work to start on building up to 72 homes on part of the land.

Permission to build the homes has already been given in principle but the developer’s latest ‘reserved matters’ application concerns the layout and the design of the homes.
The homes would be a mix of one-bed bungalows and two-to-four-bed homes.

The housing developer awaits a decision on its plans to build 311 homes and is expecting to submit another planning application for ‘phase two’ of the work which includes up to 238 homes.

Once completed, the huge new development could also include a new community centre, primary school, GP surgery and care home as well as shops, pubs and restaurants and sports and leisure facilities.
The application by Bloor Homes follows submissions by other developers Redrow and Taylor Wimpey for other parts of the land to the west of Dines Green and St John’s in Worcester – billed as the ‘West of Worcester Urban Extension’.
You can view the application by visiting Malvern Hills District Council’s website.
The application number is M/23/01160/RM and consultation ends on September 21.
