News round-up<br />
n PlANs for a nine-hole golf course on<br />
the former Marlbrook Tip were being put<br />
before bromsgrove planning councillors<br />
on October 10. The issue has split<br />
opinion among local groups and there is<br />
likely to be many requests for further information<br />
and details before a decision<br />
is made. Worcestershire County Council<br />
planners estimate that 64,500 large<br />
lorry loads would be needed to import<br />

being asked by their officers to reject<br />
plans for an extension and conservatory<br />
at The lawns residential home in<br />
Alvechurch which they had previously<br />

a Grade II listed building.<br />
