Planning Application

What this application is

This is a change of use application in Bromsgrove and Redditch: from land to use as a residential caravan site for 5 traveller pitches. Material considerations for changes of use include highway and parking impact, hours of operation, and noise or disturbance affecting nearby homes.

A change of use application asks permission to use a building or piece of land for a different purpose — for example, a shop becoming a café, or an agricultural building becoming a home. Not every change requires permission; some are covered by permitted development rights.

The applicant's own description is: Material change of use of land to use as a residential caravan site for 5 Traveller pitches, including the laying of hardstanding and construction of a 1.8m timber fence. (Retrospective). The application was received by Bromsgrove District and Redditch Borough Council on 23 April 2025 and is currently marked pending consideration on the council register — see what that status means.
