Residential Sold

This site was allocated within the South Worcestershire Development Plan for 7 dwellings, however Lone Star Land believed the site had further potential than that initially envisaged by the SWDP. Lone Star Land entered into an 6 year Option Agreement with the landowners to purchase the land. Within 6 months an application for 17 dwellings had been submitted which incorporated additional land that had been purchased unconditionally.

The proposals are for a range of housing from one to five bedroom homes, including two bungalows and 40% affordable housing.

The project involved the translocation of a badger sett which had established itself amongst a copse of trees. The site is now being delivered in a Joint Venture arrangement with Kendrick Homes.

Consultation

Productive time was spent with the neighbours, listening to their concerns which then assisted the scheme as it developed through the incorporate of two bungalows on a sensitive boundary. This resulted in just a handful of objections to the application and the Committee granted consented within 12 months of the process commencing.
