Search the Public Notice PortalPlans have been put forward to knock down farm buildings in a Herefordshire village and replace them with four larger houses.
The application (number 242989) by local couple Mr and Mrs Brown seeks permission to redevelop half a hectare of land off Station Road, Credenhill northwest of Hereford.
A farmhouse, Lower House, a two-storey stone barn and several outbuildings including an open-sided cattle shed would all go under the plan.

A recent structural survey found “substantial defects” with the farmhouse, which would need “a significant investment to bring it up to a modern standard”.
Replacing them would be four energy-efficient four-bedroom homes of varying designs, intended to reflect local architectural character, with one classed as self-built.
Each would have a double garage and two further parking spaces. New, wider road access onto Station Road, slightly east of the current farm track, would be created.
A late-18th-century, grade II listed farmhouse, Town Well, lies opposite.

Credenhill lacks a neighbourhood development plan but is earmarked for further housing in local planning policy.
Described in a statement with the application as “a very active village with a good community spirit and many local businesses, clubs and societies”, Credenhill has a regular bus service to Hereford, which being 4.5 miles away makes cycling also “a reasonable possibility”.
Comments on the proposal can be made until January 30.
