House types
The proposed planning application will be for outline planning permission which will establish the broad principles of development, such as maximum number of homes, an illustrative layout and site access arrangements.
Should the outline planning application be approved, finer details such as specific house types, detailed layout, architecture etc would be subject to a subsequent further application (called reserved matters). This would involve further consultation with the community and statutory bodies.
While house types would be determined at the reserved matters planning stage, we have provided images of existing Taylor Wimpey developments on this website to provide an idea of the types of high-quality homes we build.
Use the feedback questionnaire to tell us the types of homes you would like to see prioritised in Hagley.

Sustainable homes
At Taylor Wimpey, our purpose is to build great homes and create thriving communities. We are embedding sustainability across our business, delivering high-quality homes and places where customers can enjoy a good quality of life and adopt a more sustainable lifestyle.
Our new neighbourhood in Hagley will provide energy-efficient homes built to the emerging Future Homes Standard. This will see all homes equipped with air source heat pumps, PV (solar) panels, EV charging infrastructure and insulation future proofed to achieve carbon zero.

The new homes in Hagley will be built to be carbon zero ready, including EV charging as standard.
Affordable homes
With the site being brought forward as a grey belt opportunity to deliver new homes, up to 50% would be provided as affordable homes in line with the “golden rules” for development in the grey belt. The mix and tenure of affordable homes would be determined in liaison with the housing team at Bromsgrove District Council, however it is anticipated that it could include shared ownership homes that would appeal to first time buyers, as well as homes for social rent. There is also the potential for discount market homes to be provided as part of the affordable housing mix.
