REFUSED: Artist’s impressions of the proposed care home in Northwick; Cllr Mel Allcott (right) A CONTROVERSIAL plan to build an 80-bed care home on the edge of the city has been refused in a victory for campaigners. Northwick Developments had its plan to build a two-storey £9 million care home off Northwick Road in Northwick near Worcester refused by Wychavon District Council who said the land needed protecting for the community. Delighted campaigners who rallied to save the cherished Donkey Field said the site had been saved for future generations and common sense had prevailed. A petition with more than 1,100 signatures and more than 160 objections were lodged with the district council before a decision was made.
