BUNGALOWS: The land at Birchwood Mill off Northwick Close in Worcester A PLAN to build bungalows near to the city’s riverside has been refused over fears they would encroach on the city’s green space and riverside. The proposal to build three bungalows in the grounds of Birchwood Mill off Northwick Close in Worcester was rejected by the city council’s planning committee over the potential loss of important green space. The main building on the site was home to Little Squirrels Early Years and Pre-School before it closed suddenly in February last year following a damning Ofsted inspection.
