Amended plans for garage at property in Llangarron

The amended plans for the site in Llangarron sought to reposition a planned garage nearer to the site's internal private driveway, maintaining an equal distance from the plot boundary as that already approved from the Plot 4 boundary.

The applicant said the change would make better use of the site. No other changes were proposed to any other aspect of the approved consent.

It comes after a previous application seeking full planning permission to erect four homes along Langstone Lane in Llangarron, in a layout parallel to the road, reflecting the local development pattern, was approved in 2019.

A planning design and access statement submitted with the original plans said the development had been designed "to respond appropriately to the site’s main influences, most notably the rurality of the settlement and the intrinsic beauty of the countryside beyond."

The new amendment application was recommended for approval by a planning officer, with permission granted in August.

The village hall and 'Oaklands' are located further north than the site.

Llangarron is a rural settlement identified for growth in the Herefordshire Local Plan – Core Strategy.

It is 18 kilometres south of Hereford and seven kilometres south-west of Ross-on-Wye.

The village comprises housing, a community hall at 'The Garron Centre' within the Church of St. Deinst, and three once-weekly bus services to Hereford, Ross, and Monmouth.

Editor's note: this article previously said plans had been submitted for four homes. We would like to clarify that permission for four homes on the site was granted in 2019, with the latest application only for an amendment to the siting of a garage.
