A plan has been submitted to replace a former Herefordshire village hall with two semi-detached houses.
Flutterby Ltd of London is seeking to build the three-bedroom “cottages” in Garway near the Welsh border.
Built of “traditional” brick with slate roofs, the two would have parking at the front and gardens to the rear.
Their total footprint would be slightly smaller than the former village hall, clad and roofed in corrugated tin, which was built in the early 1920s.
Outline permission for its demolition and replacement with housing was already granted in 2015.
A new lottery-funded, sustainably built community centre on the opposite side of the village’s main road, housing an outreach medical centre, post office and café-bar, then opened in 2018.
The planned new houses would “add to the village housing stock, and improve this stretch of the village frontage which is currently rather forlorn”, the application says.
Comments on the application, numbered 221850, can be made until August 9.
