A DECISION to refuse planning permission for a building in Tarrington is being contested.

Regal Executive Homes is appealing against the refusal by Herefordshire Council to allow it to build the two-storey dwelling at Rose Cottage.

Planners had ruled that the siting and scale of the proposed building would adversely affect the character of nearby properties.

The appeal will be heard by a Government inspector at Hereford Town Hall on Tuesday, September 30.
