- Freehold ownership with main road frontage and good accessibility

A rare 1.66-acre freehold site on Bilford Road, The Pines, offering expansive, largely level grassland with mature tree screening and wide countryside views. The parcel sits north of Worcester in an affluent suburban setting, close to primary and secondary schools and accessible from a main road—combining rural character with strong local services and transport links.
The site is identified within the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the landowners (Worcester City Council and Worcestershire County Council) are inviting conditional or unconditional bids. That identification gives the plot clear development potential, but formal planning consent is not included and any purchaser should allow time and budget for applications, infrastructure and potential section 106 obligations.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, excellent mobile reception and fast broadband, and proximity to good schools and town amenities. Notable constraints are a medium flood risk designation, likely costs for drainage and utilities connections, and the need to satisfy ecological and tree-protection requirements on a treed boundary. These factors make the site suitable for experienced developers or investors prepared to manage planning and site-preparation works.
For developers seeking a sizeable, versatile site close to Worcester, this plot offers scope for a bespoke residential scheme or a value-led residential development, subject to the usual technical surveys, planning approvals and infrastructure investment. Bidders should carry out their own due diligence on planning, flood mitigation and access arrangements before submitting offers.
