VILLAGE: Hallow residents are being asked their thoughts. Pic. Paul Jackson VILLAGERS near Worcester are being invited to have their say on proposed plans for the future development of their parish. The draft Hallow Neighbourhood Plan, covering the period between 2020 and 2041, sets out the vision and policies which will govern development in the parish. Part of the plan is for a site allocation of around 40 new homes at Greenhill Lane and includes a mix of policies to ensure any future developments have a mixture of housing types, including affordable housing. The draft Plan also includes policies to protect important views, protect community and recreation facilities, retain existing wildlife habitats, protect the Hallow Conservation Area and proposes the designation of six new Local Green Spaces.
Piper Homes has submitted plans to build 22 homes at Ford House off Station Road in Pershore. Almost two acres of land has been earmarked for the 22 homes, which would be built opposite Pershore High School, and could be surrounded by up to 196 homes as part of a separate plan by Persimmon. A home known as Ford House would be demolished to make way for the new homes. Charles Church Developments Ltd, part of the Persimmon Group, was given the green light to build a mix of 196 one-to-four bed homes and apartments on land off Station Road in Pershore by Wychavon District Council’s planning committee in February.
