KINGTON is to have a new business park to the north east of the town on land next to the B4355 Presteigne road under the county Unitary Development Plan.

It replaces the council's previous plan to develop land south of Hatton Gardens.

Landscaping and screening will be required to 'soften' the impact of the new estate.

The UDP also confirms a 40-house development for land to the west of the old Eardisley road.

Welsh Water has indicated the number of homes is constrained due to the limited capacity of the town's water treatment works.

An industrial development on land to the south west of Kings Meadow, Wigmore, has been deleted from the council's plan.
