PLANS to build homes for around 750 strawberry workers in Herefordshire have been refused.

S&A Produce, based at Brook Farm, Marden, proposed to accomodate the workers in caravans and pods.

But councillors did give the go ahead to plant 36 and a half hectares of polytunnels at the farm.

Rebecca Edmonds, press officer at S&A, said it was a very mixed day for S&A.
