Worcestershire seeks a partner for the Shrub Hill regeneration, aiming for mixed-use development, 500+ homes & job creation.
Worcestershire wants a partner for Shrub Hill. They created this vision with Worcester City Council. The plan involves a mixed-use area that will extend the downtown area. Studies show the area could create jobs and offer over 500 new homes. A new city entrance could appear there, along with about five acres of public space.
The county works with Savills to pick a partner. They expect to choose someone by autumn. Phase one will be the early focus.
This includes the land the council owns, which is Lower Yard and Upper Yard together. These form Shrub Hill Industrial Estate. The area is about 35 acres and sits by the city center. Worcester Shrub Hill Station is nearby, and they plan station upgrades and service improvements there too.
Illustrations show a potential layout that showcases the area’s character. The plans respect industrial roots and celebrate natural resources. This area could see real change and spur growth in Worcester.
