Wellington homes plan approved

Members of the central area planning sub-committee meeting on Wednesday, October 24 have approved plans for 12 homes on land next to Parsonage Farm, Auberrow Road, Wellington.

Four of the homes will be affordable and the site is allocated as residential development within the Herefordshire Unitary Plan.

Strategic housing supported the application but had concerns over the exact layout and design of the four affordable units which will be rented.

Wellington Parish Council gave qualified support to the scheme but expressed concern over traffic.

Eleven letters of objection were received concerned at risk of flooding, extra traffic and the fact there is no play space for children.

The scheme was delegated to officers to approve subject to amendments to plot 12 and a Section 106 agreement.
