A Mr and Mrs Price are seeking full planning permission (application 242840) to build on land earmarked for housing at Bishon Farm, Bishopstone west of Hereford.
“The site and wider field is identified as a traditional orchard, although very few trees remain on the site,” the application says.

The half-timbered, grade II listed Bishon Farmhouse immediately to the north of the two-hectare site has already been converted into seven homes.
As part of this, a new stone wall-edged entrance was created onto the Roman Road through the village, which the new development would also use.

“Of a contemporary rural vernacular”, and of a thermally efficient design, the eight new homes would be finished in red brick, clay tiles and slate.
For market sale, they would consist of three pairs of semi-detached houses, two of two bedrooms and four with three bedrooms, and two detached homes with four bedrooms.

Solar panels would be installed on “some dwellings where practical”, while surrounding landscaping would include community and private orchards.
Pre-application advice from Herefordshire Council was “supportive of principle” of the scheme – “but required design and layout amendments which have been incorporated”, the application says.
Comments on the application can be made until January 27.
