The Church Commissioners for England has secured planning consent for 350 homes in Three Elms, Hereford.
The 25-hectare site, which is located 1.8 miles from Hereford city centre, is bordered by Roman Road to the north, Three Elms Road to the east and Yazor Brook to the south.
The scheme includes 96 affordable homes and land for a new care home. The site will also feature a new ‘park and choose’ facility, providing parking space for bicycles and cars for onward travel into the city.
The site has a strategic allocation for a minimum of 1,000 homes and at least 10 hectares of employment uses.
Victoria Barrett-Mudhoo, asset manager, strategic land, at the Church Commissioners for England, said: “Today’s announcement marks an important step in delivering a new community in Hereford. The scheme will help meet a local need for housing of all tenures and types, including providing land to the council to deliver a new affordable care home. The Church Commissioners worked closely with Herefordshire Council and consultees to ensure the scheme is of the highest quality.”
