A substantial serviced site extending to approximately 6.81 acres (2.76 hectares) with Reserved Matters approval for 103 dwellings (Phase 3). The plot sits north of Oldbury Road in Worcester, adjacent to existing and consented residential schemes and University of Worcester land, providing strong contextual support for delivery. Outline consent for the wider Strategic Urban Extension permits up to 1,400 homes, confirming the principle of large-scale residential development.
Key delivery advantages include a serviced, largely flat arable parcel with approved internal layout, scale and landscaping for Phase 3, plus clear pedestrian and vehicular access routes identified in the outline permission. A full planning application for the new vehicular access off Oldbury Road is awaiting decision (July 2025) — once approved this will secure the primary access arrangement for the phase. The site is not subject to statutory designations and sits within an affluent, low-crime setting with strong connectivity to Worcester and local amenities.
Material considerations are set out plainly: the outline consent carries pre-commencement and pre-occupation conditions and a Section 106 agreement that will need to be discharged by the purchaser. Offers are invited by informal tender and must be submitted by noon on Wednesday 20 August 2025. The purchaser will contribute £10,000 plus VAT towards the vendor’s legal fees and will be responsible for any plot substitutions and discharging planning obligations.
This opportunity suits volume housebuilders or residential developers seeking a phase-ready site within a larger consenting strategy. The site presents near-term delivery potential for 103 homes while offering strategic upside linked to the wider allocation and adjoining development activity. Viewings are by appointment and the site can be inspected from Oldbury Road.
