The Malvern Hills District Council has completed a tender process for the "South Worcestershire Development Plan Review: Cotswolds (Wychavon District) Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Environs Landscape and Visual Sensitivity Study." This study is critical for informing the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review and assessing land suitability for various developments including housing, employment, and recreational facilities.
