The Site
​
It spans from Barrons Cross Road in the west to Hereford Road in the east, with the River Arrow flowing just south of its southern edge. It is dissected by Passa Lane and by Ivington Road.
​
The site benefits from its location with easy access to the town centre and other key amenities as well as the open countryside.
Land south of Leominster will have a sense of place, identity and character that complements Leominster. Extensive new parkland, wildlife areas, play and communal food growing areas will establish an outstanding recreational and wildlife resource which encourages healthy lifestyles.
The vision aims to create a new place to be proud of, with a variety of well-designed homes supported by new community facilities, a local centre and a primary school. A new spine road, will divert traffic away from Leominster town centre, improving air quality and enhancing connectivity.
Our Vision Statement
Background
The development of the area known as ‘Land south of Leominster’ has been proposed by Herefordshire Council as suitable for development since the preparation of its Local Plan which was ultimately adopted in 2015.
​
Policy LO2 “Leominster Urban Extension” establishes that proposals should include the following provisions:
A minimum of 1,500 new homes of different types and sizes
25% affordable housing
A new 420 place primary school
A ‘relief’ road, which will link Barons Cross Road (in the west) to Hereford Road (in the east)
A ‘local centre’ including a supermarket and small-scale retail facilities
Community and youth facilities within a Community Hub
Children’s play areas
Allotments
The site is being promoted by Satnam Investments Ltd and Richborough. Satnam controls the western side of the site, and Richborough controls the east. Both parties have a long history of bringing strategic scale development to fruition to realise the potential of such land and deliver sustainable growth.
​
The parties are working collaboratively to bring forward our proposals. Pegasus Group is the appointed planning consultant for the project – we are leading the planning process including the public consultation.
​
We are working with a number of other specialists and experts (such as ecologists, transport consultants, drainage engineers and landscape consultants) to inform our designs and prepare the plans and reports for planning.
