The site falls within the administrative area of Herefordshire Council. The subject site benefits from outline planning permission for 9no. dwellings having been granted on 4th July 2025:
- P240349/O: Proposed development of 9 dwellings (6 x open market and 3 x affordable).

Although outline planning has been granted, layout, landscaping and access have all been approved at this stage, therefore a Purchaser is deemed to settle only appearance and scale at reserved matters stage. Please see the decision notice for planning conditions.

Proposed Scheme
The scheme proposes 9no. dwellings, of which two x 2 bedroom, four x 3 bedroom and three x 4 bedroom. Three dwellings are designated to be 'affordable homes' which are to be sold on a discount to market value basis. Please see the S106 agreement.

The indicative layout provides for plots with generous gardens and ample parking. The scheme proposes to use the existing access from the A438 which serves the existing residences at Ramblers Way. Drainage is to be via private package treatment plants and controlled surface water soakaways, with PV panels, EV charging and air source heat pumps providing sustainable living for each resident.
