Homes planned at Kidderminster sugar factory

Plans for up to 300 homes on the site of a historic former sugar factory in Kidderminster are to be submitted within days, it has been revealed.

Proposals will be to redevelop part of the British Sugar site, in Stourport Road, which has been disused since the factory closed nearly a decade ago.

It is hoped the scheme will boost interest in other parts of the site which have been allocated for business-use to bring new traders into the town.

Talks have been ongoing between developers the Cill Dara Partnership and Wyre Forest District Council over the details of the scheme for months.

But bosses today confirmed plans for the new homes were on schedule to be submitted towards the end of the month.

And they said a consultation period would then begin where residents and businesses in the area would be able to have their say on the scheme.
