Homes England and Summix have moved forward with plans for 5,500 homes at Wychavon Town after Wychavon District Council validated two outline planning applications. 

The applications cover the new town centre and a southern neighbourhood. 

The proposals include up to 5,500 homes, a purpose-built town centre, employment and mixed-use space, education and healthcare facilities, green and blue infrastructure, and transport connections. 

The scheme forms a major part of the planned allocation for 10,000 homes in the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review.

Ben Frodsham, Head of Planning and Enabling at Homes England, said: “The submission of outline planning applications for 5,500 new homes, a new town centre and supporting infrastructure is a significant milestone in the delivery of Wychavon Town. 

“It represents many years of collaboration with our partners Summix, the local councils, and Worcestershire County Council. 

“This is an important step towards delivering a high-quality new settlement that will help meet housing needs over the next 40 years.”

Peter Bateman, planning director at Summix, said: “These two outline applications represent a pivotal moment in moving from plan-making to delivery.
