Planning The land is located within the administrative district of Wyre Forest. It is currently the Wyre Forest Local Plan 2016 – 2036, adopted in April 2022 which provides the planning framework, strategic vision and sets the amount of housing and commercial development required. The site also lies within the Churchill and Blakedown Neighbourhood Plan Area. The Churchill and Blakedown Neighbourhood Plan was adopted In July 2017. Following the publication of the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), it is understood that Wyre Forest’s local housing need under the new national standard method housing requirement is likely to increase to circa 584 homes per annum from 276 homes per annum (as set out in the Local Plan, adopted in April 2022). In March 2025, Wyre Forest have published a Local Development Scheme which sets out a timetable for reviewing its Local Plan. It is now anticipated that evidence gathering (and potentially a call for sites) will take place from summer 2025, with an Issues and Options Consultation in summer 2026. Formal writing of the Plan will then take place over 2027 and 2028. Immediately to the south western edge of the subject site is Hurcott Wood which has a statutory designation as a Local Nature Reserve (LNR). It is envisaged that future development proposals will need to take this into masterplanning consideration.
In summary, the land is a natural fit for taking on the growth of Kidderminster and Wyre Forest in future years.
