"As with all Crest Nicholson properties, the homes available at Hereford Grange will be constructed with sustainable materials to limit the development’s carbon footprint.

"Each house has also been thoughtfully designed to improve heat retention and energy efficiency, significantly cutting building waste, time on site and electricity bills for homeowners."

Vanessa MacNee, sales and marketing director at Crest Nicholson Midlands, said: “As part of our continued commitment to invest in new homes in the Midlands, we are excited to have been granted planning permission for Hereford Grange, adding to Crest Nicholson’s already strong offering for home buyers in the region.

"Our other local development, Ludlow Green, in nearby Ludlow, has already proved popular with a wide range of buyers so we are expecting a lot of interest at Hereford Grange, especially among buyers looking to enjoy the best of both worlds; peaceful countryside living whilst being well-connected to the surrounding area."

Homes at the development are expected to go on sale from the summer.
