INTERNATIONALLY-renowned Border Oak houses that frequently appear across the county have been described by one parish council as not being in keeping with the traditional buildings they imitate.
The comment was made in a statement against a planning application for an oak-framed cottage and garage on land next to Parkfields in Weobley.
But Herefordshire Council's northern area planning committee gave the proposal the go-ahead.
The four-bedroom house will be in part of the garden at Parkfields, a Grade II 17th century timber-framed house.
Weobley Parish Council had said: "Border Oak houses do not sit tidily with traditional timber framed buildings and another Border Oak house in the vicinity of the parish church would be inappropriate."
Herefordshire Council's planning officers disagreed.
