What happened
A planning application has been made for a site in southeast Hereford, specifically concerning the junction of Watery Lane and Lower Bullingham Lane. The application seeks full planning permission to convert a care home and various agricultural buildings into seven flats. The main structure, a handsome two-storey former farmhouse, would be preserved, while other structures would be removed due to flood risk.

Why it matters
The site has been prone to flooding, including incidents caused by the adjacent Red Brook bursting its banks. The site experienced floods in February 2020, leading to the closure of the care home there.
