MALVERN residents who endured a torturous wait over a controversial road easement could be set to face another. Following plans for an easement off Guarlford Road in 2019, further plans have been put in for a similar scheme off Mill Lane. Applications of this type are to allow for access roads for potential future housing developments. When the Guarlford Road plans came up in 2019, residents filled one of the rooms at Malvern College in a heated public meeting which saw the Malvern Hills Trust vote against them. The date for the meeting has not been set, but the Malvern Hills Trust has stated that it will not take place before July 19, just at the start of the school holiday period.

THE latest part of a giant plan which will see a further 950 homes built on the edge of the city has been revealed. Major housing developers Taylor Wimpey and Redrow have put forward plans to build as many as 921 homes on land known as Earls Court Farm to the west of Dines Green in Worcester. The joint housing plan forms part of an enormous scheme to build more than 2,300 homes to the west of Worcester. Hallam Land Management has permission to build up to 965 homes on the land as well as more than five acres of employment space, a local centre with shops, offices, restaurants, pubs and takeaways, a GP surgery and care home, a primary school and a community hall.
Current proposals include three pitches on Hillbee Farm, Upton, five at The Orchard, Knowle Hill, Evesham, two on Blossom Hill, Village St, Aldington, and six at Hughes Barn, Bretforton Road, Badsey. It means sites have been put forward on the Wychavon and Malvern Hills patches but not in Worcester’s and those put forward leave the plans significantly short of demand. A statement from the councils read: “No sites are currently planned (in Worcester). “Sites were submitted for Worcester City but having been assessed against the various criteria, none were found to be suitable. “This will leave a shortfall across all three council areas to be met through applications coming through the standard planning process.
