Major plan for 110 new homes on Alcester Road, Wythall

Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey has submitted the plans to Bromsgrove District Council for land west of Alcester Road in Wythall.

The consultation with residents took place during autumn 2025.

Stephen Swinscoe, strategic land regional director at Taylor Wimpey, said the company had taken on board feedback from the community before submitting the application.

“We are grateful to everyone who took part in our consultation in autumn 2025 and we considered all of the feedback we received during this process,” he said.

“Our proposals include a range of high-quality energy-efficient homes, providing opportunities for home ownership for first time buyers, second time buyers, and downsizers in a desirable and well-connected location.

“As well as new homes which will contribute to meeting the district’s housing needs, our plans also incorporate large areas of landscaped public open space for the whole community to use and enjoy.

“We are pleased to have submitted an outline planning application and look forward to continuing to engage with the local community as our plans develop.”

If approved, the development would include a mix of homes, all designed to be low carbon and fitted with features such as air source heat pumps, solar panels and electric vehicle charging points.

The site is being promoted through the emerging Bromsgrove local plan and, in line with government policy for Grey Belt development, half of the proposed homes would be classed as affordable.

This would include properties for social rent and shared ownership aimed at first-time buyers.

Plans also include extensive new public open space, incorporating existing trees, hedgerows and two ponds.

Proposed features include biodiversity areas, play spaces and walking routes on land previously not open to the public.

A landscape buffer is also planned behind existing homes on Alcester Road.

The application can be viewed on the council’s planning portal under reference 25/01503/OUT.
