BUSINESS owners in Hereford are fighting a plan to turn the trading estate where they are based into 120 homes.
Codex Land PCC, a company based in the Isle of Man, has applied to Herefordshire Council to knock down all existing building at the Holmer Trading Estate in College Road and erect houses.
In this week’s online poll, at herefordtimes.com, we asked whether employment land should be automatically protected from housing applications.
A total of 551 people took part in the vote and a majority of 72 per cent said they thought an automatic protection should apply.
However, 25 per cent of people disagreed and said thought there should be no automatic protection. A further one per cent of voters said they did not care, while the remaining one per cent said they did not know.
