The Sun Inn at Winforton, on the A438 between Hereford and Hay-on-Wye, has applied to Herefordshire Council for planning permission for the bid.

The bid is for a proposed development of two detached two-storey homes at the rear of the Sun Inn, with private access.

The plans, from applicant Anthony Evans, said an existing garage would also be demolished if Herefordshire Council granted planning permission.

The land at the back of the family-friendly country inn, which boasts real ales, cider and en-suite bed and breakfast rooms, is currently unused.

According to the application submitted to Herefordshire Council, the land was most recently used as a horse paddock with stabling at the top end and a fenced-off area used as a children's play area, both of which have been removed.

There would be eight parking spaces if the two three-bed homes are built, and they would be sold on the open market.
