Trustees have submitted plans to build 10 homes on a Ross-on-Wye paddock.
The Ruth Lilian McQueen Keohane Discretionary Trust wants to develop the 1.5-acre site off Merrivale Lane which is currently used for grazing and contains a row of trees and a small stable.
Architects working for the scheme say the housing estate would be formed around a cul-de-sac street and would use trees as natural screening between the homes.
The proposals include a range of three to four-bedroom homes, each would have a garage and the materials are expected to complement the prevailing vernacular found in the conservation area.
The scheme includes the creation of a T-junction onto Merrivale Lane as a means of accessing the site.
Residents have until December 20 to comment on the plans which Herefordshire Council is expected to consider by February 18.
