Update from the Parish Council Planning Meeting - Monday 7 September 2026
At last night's Planning Committee meeting, representatives from Cala Homes attended to advise the Parish Council of an emerging proposal for around 180 homes on land south of The Spinney, Holmer Green.
This was an initial introductory discussion and no plans, drawings or supporting documents were presented. We were informed that this is at a very early stage, and that no planning application has been submitted. Cala Homes indicated that any application is unlikely to be submitted in the near future.
The Parish Council reminded the developer that this land lies within the Green Belt and the National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). We also highlighted longstanding concerns regarding the lack of infrastructure to support further development in the area, including pressure on local services, such as medical facilities and schools and the capacity of the local road network.
In addition, the Parish Council made clear that the area is already facing a significant number of current and emerging development proposals and stressed that the cumulative impact of these developments on local infrastructure, services and the road network must be properly considered.
Cala Homes advised that they intend to undertake consultation with residents as their proposals develop.
As there are currently no plans available and no application has been made, there is very little detail that can be shared at this stage. However, we felt it was important to let residents know that this proposal has been raised with the Parish Council.
Should further information become available, or should a planning application be submitted in the future, the Parish Council will update residents accordingly.
Below is a rough outline of the site being proposed.
