Wychavon District Council has received several planning applications, including proposals for up to 45 new homes and four padel courts at a tennis centre. These submissions cover developments in areas like Drakes Broughton, Bredon, and Pershore. The applications are open for public review and comment until March 12.
Local planning authorities in Wychavon are considering a range of development proposals submitted recently for the Evesham, Pershore, and Broadway areas.
One key application involves an outline plan for up to 45 homes on Worcester Road in Drakes Broughton. This includes 18 affordable units and represents the second phase of a larger scheme, building on a prior approval. Access is the only matter not reserved for later decision, and the council classifies it as a major development that departs from the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
In Bredon, a retrospective request seeks approval for a storage extension at Drapers on Church Street. The addition aims to provide more storage space and is located within a conservation area near a listed building.
Further afield, permission is requested for a three-bedroom self-build home on Church Lane in Flyford Flavell, tied to an earlier permission in principle. Meanwhile, at Vine Cottage on Russell Street in Great Comberton—a listed building in a conservation area—plans call for replacing three rotting softwood casement windows with similar hardwood heritage double-glazed frames.
A sports-related proposal comes from Pershore Tennis Centre at Pershore College on Avon Bank, where four padel courts are planned. The council notes this development does not align with the current local development plan.
Interested parties can view the applications, plans, and documents on the Wychavon District Council website at www.wychavon.gov.uk. Comments or objections should be sent to Planning and Infrastructure at the Civic Centre, Queen Elizabeth Drive, Pershore, Worcester WR10 1PT, by March 12.
