Piper Homes has submitted plans to build 22 homes at Ford House off Station Road in Pershore. Almost two acres of land has been earmarked for the 22 homes, which would be built opposite Pershore High School, and could be surrounded by up to 196 homes as part of a separate plan by Persimmon. A home known as Ford House would be demolished to make way for the new homes.
