What garage courts and yards we want near Great Malvern
Across Great Malvern, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Great Malvern is in Worcestershire, about 7 miles south-west of Worcester. Nearby places include Ledbury, Worcester and Tewkesbury.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Parking courts behind houses
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Flood risk from the Severn, Teme and Avon is a major consideration around Worcester, Upton-upon-Severn and Evesham. The M5 and M42 corridors and the rail lines through Worcester, Bromsgrove and Droitwich attract interest, and grey belt is now relevant on parts of the northern Green Belt.
What usually makes or breaks it
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 35 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
