How schemes in Bromsgrove get decided.
Two councils involved
Bromsgrove District Council decides the planning application, but Worcestershire County Council is the highway authority and gives the highways response. We deal with both, so the evidence suits the county’s standards as well as the local plan.
What shapes schemes in Bromsgrove
A market town between the M5 and M42, almost ringed by green belt, with a rebuilt station and electric trains to Birmingham. In the centre, the questions are servicing, parking and how people walk to the shops and the station. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and the main junctions.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A38, between the M5 and M42. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the M5 and M42, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Bromsgrove?
Worcestershire County Council, for local roads. Bromsgrove District Council decides the planning application and consults Worcestershire County Council on highways matters. We deal with both. National Highways is responsible for the M5 and M42.
Do you cover the area around Bromsgrove?
Yes, including Redditch, Kidderminster and Alcester, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the M5 and M42 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
