Planning has been granted for Redrow’s Kensington Gate development, near Worcester, which will see 434 homes built.

It forms part of a larger project featuring just under 1,000 residential properties alongside a community centre, primary school and employment space.

One, two, three, four and five-bedroom properties, including apartments, maisonettes and houses, will created and it will feature plenty of green open spaces.

Bob Wilson, managing director for Redrow Midlands, said: “We are thrilled to be part of an exciting new venture here in Worcester, and we’re looking forward to bringing much-needed, high-quality homes to the area as part of our Kensington Gate development. 

“Kensington Gate symbolises our ambition to create sustainable communities where people live, work and thrive. With vast amounts of green, open space, the development will also offer excellent transport links across the country, making it the perfect solution for commuters and families alike.”

Construction is set to begin soon, with the first homes due to be released for sale in the summer.
