The Location
Discover Kidderminster: A Historic Town in Worcestershire's Wyre Forest District
Kidderminster, situated in the picturesque Wyre Forest district of Worcestershire, holds a prime location just 14 miles north of Worcester and 17 miles southwest of Birmingham.
Located just 500 meters north of Kidderminster town centre, the site benefits from easy access to a vibrant hub bustling with amenities tailored to both residents and visitors. From popular chain retailers to charming independent boutiques, the town offers a diverse retail landscape along with a generous provision of dining options, including restaurants, cafes, and pubs.
Surrounded by a dynamic mix of developments, the site enjoys proximity to various amenities. To the east lies a new residential housing development, while to the west, a large retail park housing prominent brands like Sainsbury’s, Currys, and The Range, provides convenient shopping options.
Adding to its allure, the site is bordered by green spaces, with the tranquil Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal running along its western boundary and the scenic Stourvale Nature Reserve stretching northwards.
Links & Transport
Boasting robust connectivity, the town is easily accessible via several major A-roads, seamlessly linking it to the wider national road network. Additionally, the M5 motorway lies approximately 8 miles to the east, offering convenient routes to Birmingham and the South West.
Benefitting from excellent public transport infrastructure, Kidderminster is well-connected via an extensive bus network that serves both the town and its surrounding catchment area.
The town’s railway station provides direct services to key destinations such as Worcester Shrub Hill and Birmingham Moor Street, with travel times as short as 19 and 43 minutes, respectively.
The Site
The site extends to approximately 1.1 acres in size. The topography of the site is flat with mature trees bordering the site at its south and western edge.
The site currently comprises four small industrial units and a large yard area, all secured by metal railings that run the perimeter of the property.
Vehicular and pedestrian access is off Clensmore Road, which rises above the site as its runs southwards along its western boundary. A pedestrian footbridge is also located north of the site providing access across Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal to the neighbouring retail park.
The site is held under two freehold titles. The title covering the northern smaller portion of the site includes a restrictive covenant preventing built development to protect views along the canal.
The Care Home
An outline planning application (23/0746/OUT) has been submitted to Wyre Forest District Council for the demolition of the existing buildings on site and the development of an 80 bed care home. A planning decision is anticipated by June 2024.
The proposed care home is situated to the south of the site and takes the form of a ‘L’ shaped building. The design of the building is split across three floors with 80 bedrooms with room in the roof for back of house.
The proposal benefits from ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom, a kitchen, café, hair salon and multiple communal areas on each floor.
Areas of landscaped communal gardens are planned surrounding the care home to promote active lifestyles, comfort, relaxation and stimulation.
