Planning committee

Decided by Wychavon Planning Committee on 23 Jul 2026.

Refused

  • Officers advised approval because the benefits outweighed limited landscape harm and no technical harms were identified.
  • The parish council, a resident and the local member raised concerns about development outside the boundary, infrastructure, highways and drainage.
  • The committee refused the application because it was outside the development boundary, urbanised the countryside and lacked a completed legal agreement.
