The subject site is situated within the planning jurisdiction of Wychavon District Council. Planning Policy is covered by the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP). The latest review of the SWDP was submitted to the Secretary of State for independent examination in September 2023.

The site was included within the SHELAA submission for the SWDP review in 2022. The site is referred to as 'Land off Walkers Lane', ref: CFS0123. Whittington.
A new footpath bridge has been erected over Swinesherd Way approximately 0.3 miles to the north of the site. This provides a pedestrian linkage from the nearby Persimmon Homes development out onto Spetchley Road, where there are schools, a pub and Waitrose supermarket.

The site is not located within a Conservation Area, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), nor the Green Belt, however the site is located within a designated 'Significant Gap'. The principal function of a Significant Gap is to keep land open (not necessarily free from development) in order to prevent coalescence and to provide appropriate settings for settlements.

We feel the site would be suited to the following uses subject to gaining the relevant planning consents:
Care home facilities
Hotel
Roadside uses
