Development potential
Set within an established plot on the edge of Bransford, this attractive opportunity includes a well-presented home and an adjoining parcel of land with full planning permission for a new three-bedroom detached dwelling with garage and garden. Once developed, the site will comprise two individual homes in a generous countryside setting, offering excellent potential for self-builders, small-scale developers or those seeking space for extended family.

The approved design allows for a dormer-style home with its own private access, garden and parking, set in harmony with the existing property and surrounding landscape. The permission includes clear conditions around energy efficiency, requiring at least 10% of predicted energy use to be met through renewable sources, with the scheme supporting air source heating and solar PV. Full architectural plans are available and include a well-proportioned layout with generous living space, three bedrooms, and a traditional external finish using brickwork and tiled roofing to match the local character.

The site sits comfortably within the Bransford development boundary, making it one of the few plots in this sought-after rural location to benefit from planning consent under current policy. Access is via a private track off the A4103, with excellent links to Worcester and the wider region. The planning approval (ref: M/24/00290/FUL) is subject to a number of standard pre-commencement conditions, including submission of a construction management plan and final material details. Once built, permitted development rights will be restricted to preserve local amenity.

A Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is payable on completion, and a Section 106 agreement secures a modest contribution towards affordable housing locally. Buyers are advised to confirm final CIL figures based on the approved plans and council indexation. With planning in place and infrastructure nearby, this is a rare opportunity to add a high-quality home to an established countryside setting, with scope for future resale, income or multi-generational use.
