Developers want to build nine houses on a field next to a busy road near Ross-on-Wye.

Worcestershire-based North Oak Homes have submitted plans to develop the 4.3 acre site between the B4221 Gloucester to Ross Road and Lovers Walk in Gorsley.

Architects say the development will be made up of a range of house types, varying in size and design but will mainly be two storey in height to reflect nearby properties in the village.

They also say access to the new housing estate would be from the busy B4221 and a new bus stop would be provided.

Residents have until June 26th to comment on the proposals and Herefordshire Council planners are expected to make a decision on the plans by July 25th.
