Action Requested
The House of Commons is urged to encourage Malvern Hills District Council to prioritise the protection of agricultural land in its Local Plan, reject multi-dwelling planning applications within one mile of Areley Kings and Stourport-on-Severn, and secure a full highway impact assessment for future developments near the historic Stourport Bridge.

I rise to present a petition on behalf of over 600 of my constituents in Stourport-on-Severn in Wyre Forest whose lives and services are being adversely affected by unwelcome development in the neighbouring Malvern Hills district council. Because Malvern Hills district council has no local plan, the Planning Inspectorate is allowing otherwise refused planning applications to go ahead within the wider reach of Stourport.
The petitioners
“request that the House of Commons urge the Government to encourage Malvern Hills District Council to prioritise the protection of agricultural land in its Local Plan, to reject multi-dwelling planning applications within one mile of Areley Kings…and to secure a full highway impact assessment for the historic Stourport Bridge crossing for any future developments.”
