Commitment to Wychavon Town

Following the announcement by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Wychavon District Council has confirmed its commitment to delivering Wychavon Town after the Government announced in March it would not be one of its flagship New Towns.

Wychavon Town was one of 12 sites the Government was assessing following the New Towns Taskforce Report in 2025. The Government has now confirmed just seven locations will be taken forward as New Towns during this Parliament, with Wychavon Town not on the list

Wychavon Town will remain part of the Government’s New Homes Accelerator programme and will receive specialist support from Homes England.
