A PLANNING expert has been selected to progress the Ross-on-Wye Neighbourhood Plan.

Place Studio planning consultants won the bid to provide the assistant needed from experts to create the plan.

The overall cost should not exceed £30,000.

Through the plan, residents can choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built.

The Ross-on-Wye Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group's next public meeting is on February 18 at the Larruperz Centre at 7.15pm.
