Badsey Soap Box Races 2024 – CANCELLED
The organising committee for the Badsey Soap Box Races has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2024 event. The number of entries received so far is much lower than in previous years, and it’s unlikely to increase significantly before the event. This lack of entries would not make for an entertaining race day for the audience, and it would also pose logistical challenges for the organising team. Additionally, there are concerns about having an inadequate number of volunteers to ensure the safety and efficiency of the event.
The committee aims to hold the races in 2025, with the planned date set for Sunday, August 24th. We encourage everyone to mark this date in their calendars and to start planning for next year’s race.
The committee extends their thanks to all sponsors, suppliers, and everyone involved in the event’s planning. We also apologise to all those planning to join us on the day for what is always a fantastic village event!

28.05.2024 Planning News
Residents will be interested to learn that planning application W/23/02227/OUT for 35 houses off Bretforton Road has been REFUSED by Wychavon District Council. The full documentation can be found by clicking the button below. THREE main reasons were given for the refusal:
1. The application site lies entirely outside of a defined settlement boundary as identified under Policy SWDP 2 of the South Worcestershire Development Plan 2016. The site is therefore defined as open countryside where development shall be strictly controlled.
2. Forecast intakes for Badsey First School indicate that there are insufficient places for primary age children, which is expected to continue into the foreseeable future.
3. In the absence of a Section 106 legal agreement, no secure arrangements are in place to secure the arrangements for a financial contribution towards: affordable housing provision; public open space; formal sports and leisure; primary care; transport and infrastructure; education (early years, high school and sixth form).
As such, the proposed development does not meet the objectives of sustainable development and cannot be delivered with acceptable impacts on the community and the environment.
