Land at Coldwells Road, Holmer, Herefordshire

Land size
5.1 acres

Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a well-positioned circa 5.1 acres of land within the established village of Munstone, on the northern edge of Hereford.
Located at the junction of Coldwells Road and Munstone Road, the site occupies a prominent corner position, offering strong visibility and straightforward access. The land is currently laid to grass and is defined by established hedgerows, with residential development to one side and open countryside beyond, creating a balanced and attractive setting.

Munstone itself is a highly desirable location, combining a semi-rural feel with excellent connectivity. Situated approximately two miles from Hereford city centre, the area provides convenient access to a range of employment, retail and leisure amenities, while retaining the appeal of village living.

The site represents a compelling residential development opportunity, having been actively promoted through previous planning processes and benefiting from a supportive wider planning context. Its position within the existing settlement, along with nearby residential development, reinforces the principle of potential residential use, subject to all necessary planning consents.

Initial proposals suggest the site is suitable for a sensitively designed small-scale residential scheme that responds to the surrounding character. The site also benefits from strong deliverability attributes, including direct access, established boundaries, and proximity to services and infrastructure.

Location
Munstone is a well-connected village on the outskirts of Hereford, offering a practical and appealing setting for future development.

Hereford City Centre – approx. 2 miles
Leominster – 12 miles
Ross-on-Wye – 17 miles
Monmouth – 20 miles
Worcester – 26 miles
Gloucester – 31 miles

The nearby A4103 (Roman Road) provides direct links into Hereford and the wider region.

Planning & Development
The site has a long-standing history of promotion for residential development and sits within a favourable and evolving planning context.

Previously submitted through the Housing Land Availability Assessment (HLAA)
Expiry of the Munstone Neighbourhood Development Plan
Lack of five-year housing land supply in the area
Positioned as a logical extension to the northern edge of Hereford

Together, these factors support the site’s potential to come forward for residential development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

Services & Access

Direct access via Coldwells Road and Munstone Road
Access to utilities including electricity and water (not tested)
Potential drainage solution identified (subject to agreement)

Additional Information
All purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding planning, services and development potential. Any proposals are subject to the necessary consents.
