HAVE YOUR SAY ON PLANS FOR CIRCA 56 NEW FAMILY HOMES TO COMPLETE DROITWICH’S YEW TREE HILL DEVELOPMENT

Redrow is preparing a detailed planning application for circa 56 new market and affordable homes which will form the final part of the Yew Tree Hill development in south-east Droitwich. The development will deliver high quality new homes and landscaped areas of green public open space, alongside opportunities for local infrastructure enhancements. 

Before submitting a detailed planning application for the development, Redrow has created this consultation website to provide the community with information about the plans, and to provide an opportunity to provide feedback on the proposals and how it can align with their aspirations for local housing and community facilities. To ensure your comments are taken into consideration in finalising the planning application, please ensure you submit your feedback by Monday 6th September 2021.

About the site

The application site is located on the eastern side of Pulley Lane, between Pulley Lane and Newland Road and forms the final parcel of the wider Yew Tree Hill development. The site is located outside the Green Belt and has no special landscape designations or other planning constraints. As such, it has been identified in Wychavon District Council’s Strategic Housing and Employment Land Allocations Assessment (SHELAA) as being a suitable site for residential development.

The site is being promoted through the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) review. A detailed application is being worked up alongside that process to provide an opportunity for Wychavon District Council to grant an early consent to help build a defensible five-year housing land supply. This will assist the authority in protecting more sensitive sites, such as those in the Green Belt, from speculative development proposals seeking to take advantage of a shortfall in housing land supply.
