Plans for 35 homes in Shobdon approved

Plans for a residential development of 35 homes on land next to The Birches, Shobdon, have been approved by members of the northern area planning sub-committee at their meeting on Wednesday, January 16.

The site is allocated in the Herefordshire Unitary Development Plan for an estimated 30 homes.

Homes on this site will be six two-bedroomed, eight three-bedroomed, seven four-bedroomed and 14 five-bedroomed. Of these, 12 will be affordable housing, two four-bedroomed homes and four three-bedroomed homes.

Shobdon Parish Council raised no objections but expressed concerns about the sewerage system.

One letter of objection was received from Pearl Lake Leisure Park, expressing concern it could jeopardise their potential for further development.
