Woven Oaks Phase Two
Kidderminster
This consultation is now closed. Thank you for all the feedback we have received through the consultation. All consultation responses have been considered and will be set out in the Statement of Community Engagement, which will be submitted as part of the application.
Taylor Wimpey is preparing a Reserved Matters planning application for Phase 2 of the residential development on land north of Comberton Road, Kidderminster.
This public consultation is being undertaken to outline the proposals for Phase 2 and to provide local residents and stakeholders with an opportunity to comment before the application is submitted to Wyre Forest District Council.
Site Location
The Phase 2 site is located on the eastern edge of Kidderminster. It is bounded by existing residential development to the west, the Birmingham-Worcester railway line to the north and open countryside to the east and south.
LOCATION PLAN
Key constraints affecting the design include:
• The need to protect the residential amenity of existing homes along the western boundary;
• Respecting the local character;
• Retention of existing vegetation, including hedgerows, tree belts and mature trees;
• Noise influences from the railway to the north and Husum Way to the west; and
• Variations in landform affecting layout, drainage and building orientation.
The site also presents a number of opportunities:
• Adjacent to the existing settlement edge, creating strong links with established neighbourhoods;
• Using high-quality local development as a reference to inform the design;
• Delivering a sustainable, residential-led development with a mix of housing types, sizes and tenures, including affordable housing;
• Enhancing pedestrian and cycle connections to surrounding areas and the wider movement network;
• Strengthening green infrastructure through reinforced hedgerows and new planting; and
• Creating a landscape-led interface with existing homes to the west.
