A Herefordshire town will get fewer new homes, and even fewer affordable ones, than elsewhere in the county under new growth plans.

Leominster is set to get 280 new homes under Herefordshire’s draft local plan covering the period up to 2041.

This compares with targets of 1,059 new homes for Ross-on-Wye and 646 for Ledbury – both of which currently have smaller populations than Leominster.

Residents have until Monday to submit views on the draft local plan.
