A new studio and therapy room is planned for a Hereford community centre that is struggling to accommodate groups that want to use it.
The trustees of Hinton Community Centre, by the A49 Ross Road to the south of Hereford, are seeking planning permission for the new facility.
Their application (number 242504) says the new room would “complement the wide range of clubs, groups, and outreach services the community centre already hosts but is struggling to accommodate”.

Groups standing to benefit from it would include Hereford Art for Veterans and the support group Carers of Herefordshire, and it would also host an insomnia clinic and provide extra space to treat those with breathing disorders.
Occupying a spot currently used for parking to the east of the existing 1960s-built centre, the free-standing single-storey seven-by-three-metre prefabricated unit would be clad in vertical wood composite panels, their colour yet to be determined.
It would consist of a single room only, with users continuing to use facilities in the main building.
Comments on the application can be made until November 11.
