NEW steel-framed industrial units, offices and a yard for a crane hire firm should be sited further away from homes than the site proposed says Leominster Town Council.

Councillors signalled their approval of the Leominster Crane Hire plan in principle but told county councillors the siting on land at Glendower Road was wrong.

Nearby residents could be affected by noise and loss of light, they warned.

The buildings could set a precedent for further development on the same building line, councillors said.
