Developers have submitted plans for the next stage of a new housing estate in Ledbury.

Barratt Homes want permission to build 46 more homes on land south of Leadon Way.

The proposals are the second phase of the developers’ plans for the site.

In April 2016 outline plans for 321 properties were approved and it has been developed in a phased approach.

The site was controversial with local residents and was not supported by any of Ledbury’s ward councillors or the parish council and that it represented a transition from the built-up area of the town to the countryside.

The High Court quashed a reserved matters approval for the Barratt West Midlands scheme on a technical matter relating to noise pollution from a nearby cheese factory in August 2018.

The company says noise mitigation works were successfully undertaken in January 2019 to treat identified noisy equipment.

After this amended plans were submitted for reserved matters which were part of phase one for 275 homes. This was approved last July.

Residents have until April 9 to comment on the plans for 46 homes which are expected to be considered by Jun 10.
