Summary

Tenure

We are delighted to introduce to you the opportunity to purchase a potential residential development opportunity (subject to planning permission) in the Worcestershire village of Alvechurch. The site is being sold, subject to existing use value/hope value, with overage provision.

Location Alvechurch is a desirable village located within the Bromsgrove District of Worcestershire. The village benefits from excellent transport connections with the A441 dual-carriageway forming a bypass to the east of the village. The A441 connects the village with Birmingham (c. 19.2 km (11.9 miles) and Junction 2 of the M42 Motorway (c. 3.7 km (2.3 miles) away) to the north east. Redditch is (c. 7 km (4.4 miles) to the south and Bromsgrove is (c. 8.9 km (5.5 miles) to the west. The site is situated to the north west of the village. The village centre of Alvechurch lies approximately 800 metres (0.5 miles) to the south east and provides local amenities including shops, a pharmacy, takeaway restaurants and the Red Lion public house.

A wider range of amenities and facilities can be found in Redditch. Alvechurch Railway Station is approximately 1.4 km (0.9 miles) to the south of the sites and provides regular London Midland Cross City services to Birmingham New Street, Lichfield and Redditch with an average journey time to Birmingham of 31 minutes.

Description The site comprises 2.13 hectares (5.26 acres) and is situated to the south west of Callow Hill Road. The site is bounded to the west by the Redditch– Birmingham railway line, to the east by the Worcester and Birmingham Canal and to the north by Callow Hill Road. The site is roughly triangular in shape. The site can be accessed off Callow Hill Road through a gated entrance. The site is relatively flat with a gentle slope to the east. The site is stated to have an indicative dwelling capacity of 52 no. units at a density of 40 dph. The site is also indentified in the draft Alvechurch Parish Neighbourhood Plan (2013) as a potential development site.

The site is being sold, subject to existing use value/hope value, with overage provision.

Planning The statutory plan covering planning policy and development control for the area is the saved policies of the Bromsgrove District Local Plan (adopted January 2004). The emerging Bromsgrove District Plan (BDP) Proposed Submission Document 2011-2030 (Formerly Core Strategy) was submitted to the Secretary of State for independent examination on 12th March 2014. We understand that the examination of the BDP took place during December 2014. If adopted, the BDP will replace the policies of the current Bromsgrove District Local Plan. The Pre-Submission Version BDP (November 2013) contains two draft allocations (not the subject site) for residential development in Alvechurch with a total of 52 no. dwellings to be developed over the Plan period. The site is identified within Bromsgrove District Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) 2014 as ‘Green Belt Potential’ sites.

The SHLAA states that ‘even when considering current commitments and completions since 2011, there will, in all likelihood be a significant shortfall if the target of 7,000 [new homes] is to be achieved by 2030. This means a Green Belt review will need to be undertaken to deliver further growth.
