Barnt Green Parish Council response to Bromsgrove Council’s Draft Development Strategy – survey closes Friday 22nd August 2025
Dear Resident
You may by now have seen that Bromsgrove District Council (BDC) has launched a public consultation on its Draft Development Strategy to 2043. This Plan is BDC’s response to the Government’s call for increased housing and proposes the sites within the Council’s area where new housing should be built.
Barnt Green Parish Council (BGPC) recommends that you look at these plans, please see links below.
There are different ways in which you can convey your thoughts on the proposals.
We recommend that you respond by 22 September to the public consultation https://bromsgroveplan.commonplace.is/
This is your opportunity to comment individually on the draft plan direct to BDC.
In addition, BGPC will be responding to the Consultation to represent the views of the residents of Barnt Green. We encourage you to participate in a short survey. This can be accessed via the links below. Paper copies of the survey can be obtained at the BGPC office at 80 Hewell Road, Barnt Green [open 09.00 to 13.00 Monday – Thursday]. This survey will close on 22 August.
BGPC will also be hosting a meeting to hear your thoughts on the proposals. This will be held at The Parish Centre, St Andrew’s Church, Sandhills Road B45 8NR on Tuesday 29 July 2025 at 19.00. Here, you will be able to discuss the proposals with fellow residents and parish councillors.
BDC is hosting a walk in session at Barnt Green Scout Hut, B45 8BT between 9.30am and 8pm on Tuesday 2nd September 2025. Further venues can be found at https://www.bromsgrove.gov.uk/news/posts/full-slate-of-local-plan-consultation-events-announced/
