A DEVELOPER has announced a multi-million pound package of investment to deliver new facilities and service improvements alongside its new development in Bromsgrove.
Taylor Wimpey has committed almost £24 million which will support the development of a new first school alongside improvements to local secondary education, healthcare, public open spaces, road networks, public transport and more.
In accordance with planning permission for the wider Perryfields development, the housebuilder will pay Worcestershire County Council £6.1m to deliver a new first school for local pupils, allocating a portion of these funds to help expand existing secondary schools in the area.
Over £800,000 will be invested in local healthcare to support vital services such as those offered by the Worcestershire NHS Acute Hospitals Trust.
Additionally, Bromsgrove District Council will receive over £1m to improve open spaces in the surrounding area and £645,000 to build and maintain a new community pavilion at the King George Recreation Ground.
As part of these investments, £300k will be used to enhance other offsite recreation at the King George and the Sanders View/Battlefield Brook recreation area.
Taylor Wimpey will also pay over £1.8m to improve the A3 and other local highways and junctions.
As well as a further contribution of £381k to support sustainable infrastructure improvements, such as new cycle and pedestrian links across Bromsgrove Town Centre.
With over £300k spent to improve existing public transport services.
Once complete, the entire Sanders View at Perryfields development will consist of up to 1,300 new homes, 30 per cent of which will be allocated as affordable housing.
Helen Chard, land director for Taylor Wimpey North Midlands, said: “We are committed to giving back to the local communities in which we build.
“These significant contributions towards community infrastructure and services will have a real impact on those living and working in Bromsgrove and we are excited to welcome the very first occupants to the development.”
Sanders View at Perryfields is located on Stourbridge Road, Bromsgrove.
Both Bromsgrove District Council and Worcestershire County Council have been approached for comment.
