A disused bungalow is set to be replaced by two new homes in a Herefordshire village.

The plans for the property and its surrounding land, off the B4362 in Shobdon have been given the go-ahead.

The plot, located near Shobdon Methodist Church, covers roughly 0.092 hectares and falls just outside a conservation zone.

The existing structure, deemed to have "little historic value or positive contribution to the area," has been left derelict and is overgrown.

While the site is situated near a watercourse and within the River Lugg sub-catchment of the River Wye Special Area of Conservation, it is not considered to be at risk of flooding, according to the Environment Agency.

The new development plans to revamp the site, introducing two new bungalows in place of the old one.

The new properties will reflect the agricultural and rural style apparent in the area, with predominant materials including stone, red brick, timber, slate and clay roof tiles.

Construction is set to start in the eastern corner where an entrance is believed to be, although the exact entrance is not currently visible due to the overgrown nature of the site.

The planning application was considered a "minor" application because of the number of units proposed.

The application has been approved by Herefordshire Council.
