Public Meeting Called to Discuss Potential Green Belt Development at Church Farm

Local residents are being invited to attend a public meeting to discuss emerging proposals for potential development on Green Belt land at Church Farm, Claines.

The meeting will take place on Friday 26 June at 7.30pm at Claines Royal British Legion and has been organised by Claines councillors Mel Allcott, Karen Holmes and Jessie Jagger.

The councillors are keen to ensure residents have an opportunity to understand the planning process, ask questions and discuss the potential implications of development on Green Belt land.

Cllr Mel Allcott said:

“Residents have told us they want clear information about what is happening and what it could mean for our community. This meeting is about listening to residents, explaining the process and making sure people understand how they can have their say.”

The site is currently at the pre-application stage. No planning application has yet been submitted to Worcester City Council.

Cllr Jessie Jagger said:

“We are not opposed to new housing, but Green Belt land should only ever be considered as a last resort and in truly exceptional circumstances. We want residents to have the opportunity to understand the issues and make their voices heard before any formal application is submitted.”

The meeting is open to all residents.
