Richborough’s planning application for new homes on land off Habberley Road near Kidderminster has been allowed on appeal.
The 14-acre parcel of land will deliver:
- Around 124 homes, including 25% affordable housing.
- 40% public open space and a net gain in biodiversity, in line with Wyre Forest District Council’s emerging Local Plan.
- Significant financial contributions towards local primary and secondary education, highways improvements, public open space and health care.
Housebuilder Vistry Homes is the development partner and will now bring forward a mix of one to four-bedroom family homes. They received full planning consent this month after submitting a full application twin track.
Joe Jones, Regional Director (Midlands) at Richborough said: “Congratulations to our landowner and the whole team on this result. The outcome of the Appeal process demonstrates the confidence which was shared by the team in continuing to promote the site as a sustainable and deliverable solution with a high-quality design to assist with the provision of new houses in the area.”
