Bellway Homes had planned to build dozens of homes on land between Claphill Lane and the A4440, next to the site already being developed by Lioncourt Homes. It also wanted to create seven travelling showpeople plots on land north of the A4103, between Claphill Lane and the A44. PLANS: Plans for 105 homes and plots for travelling showpeople in Rushwick have been turned down (Image: Bellway Homes)Significant gaps are undeveloped plots of land used to stop neighbouring villages and towns from merging into each other - in this case to stop Rushwick from becoming part of Worcester. Michael Gale said the plan would only add more pressure to infrastructure that is "already at breaking point." District planners said public benefits arising from the scheme would not outweigh the harms that would come from it.
