Herefordshire is a rural county with the city of Hereford, the market towns of Leominster, Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury, and many small villages and hamlets. There is no Green Belt, but the Wye Valley and Malvern Hills National Landscapes cover parts of the county. Phosphate pollution in the River Wye and its tributary the Lugg has been a major barrier to new housing, so drainage and nutrient mitigation are often central to whether a site can proceed.
Before we make an offer in Ross-on-Wye
Displaced parking
Councils often want to know where current users will park.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Herefordshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Ross-on-Wye are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 52 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
