AN exhibition of plans for polytunnels, a storage unit, accommodation for up to 240 seasonal workers, a pump house and a new access road at Biddlestone Orchards, Llangarron took place at Llangarron Village Hall on Tuesday, February 28th.

The Exhibition, which was advertised in last week’s Gazette, was organised by the planning consultants Aspbury Planning Ltd on behalf of the applicants and landowners, Frank and Mark Green.

The development is proposed to extend the soft fruit growing facilities at the site and will include lagoons to deal with excess water to offset concerns about flooding.

The workers on the site will be housed in 120 two person units, they will not have vehicles at the site, they be provided with leisure and IT facilities on site and buses will be provided to take the workers off the site, for shopping or social events.

Anyone who would like to obtain copies of the plans can contact Jan Leadbetter on 0115 852 8050 or email [email protected]

There will be more information about this proposal, which has not yet been submitted to Herefordshire Council as a planning application, in next week’s Ross Gazette.
