A rare small-scale development opportunity on the western edge of Winforton with outline planning permission for nine dwellings (6 market, 3 affordable). The 0.5 hectare (1.2 acre) site benefits from approved layout, landscaping and access, existing highway connection to the A438, and attractive rural views toward the Welsh Hills and River Wye. Sustainable specifications are proposed: PV panels, EV charging and air source heat pumps for each dwelling.
The planning consent (P240349/O, granted 4 July 2025) leaves appearance and scale as reserved matters, so a purchaser will need to finalise design details. A Section 106 requires the three affordable homes to be sold at 30% below open market value, which materially affects gross sales receipts and needs to be factored into financial appraisals. A public right of way crosses the site; the planning drawings include provisions for its rerouting.
Practical advantages include mains water and electricity on-site, very low local crime, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and straightforward access from the A438. The land sits outside the River Wye and Lugg catchments so no phosphate credits are payable. The vendor is inviting informal tenders (offers in excess of £500,000) with vacant possession.
Drawbacks and next steps are clear: appearance and scale must be approved at reserved matters, third-party rights of way affect the access road, and purchasers should verify service connections and drainage proposals (private treatment plant and soakaways). This site will suit small housebuilders, housing providers or investors seeking a low-density village infill with strong sustainability credentials and good links to Hereford and local amenities.
