County planners have gone against professional advice and rejected proposals to build a home in a village near Hereford.
Herefordshire Council’s planning officers had recommended approving the scheme which included a garage and construction of a new vehicle access Twyford Brook Barn in Twyford.
But the planning committee voted to reject the proposals after hearing concerns from local residents and the parish council.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
