How schemes in Redditch get decided.
Two councils involved
Redditch Borough 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 Redditch
A new town laid out around dual carriageways and roundabouts, at the end of the Cross-City line from Birmingham. The roads were planned around the car. Officers now want new schemes to connect to the walking, cycling and bus network, not just the main roads.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A441, A448 and A435. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application.
