Access and solar panel concerns over plans to build houses at farm
Plans to build five houses have been recommended for refusal by a town council who raised several concerns.
The application also includes ground mounted solar panels, the creation of a phosphate credit bank and ancillary work on land at Newburn Farm, Kington.
Messers Gwatkin of Bush Farm, Presteigne said the site is currently occupied by a range of steel framed agricultural buildings which have Class Q permission to be converted into houses. Another building has Class Q permission to be converted into two dwellings.
Three of the houses would have three bedrooms and two would be four-bedroomed, and 12 car parking spaces would be provided.
A public right of way, which is part of the 154-mile Herefordshire Trail runs through the site but it won’t be affected by the development.
