This building plot – of three quarters of an acre – has detailed planning permission for a contemporary style three/four bedroom detached home plus a detached double garage situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the much sought-after village of Symonds Yat West. The planning reference number is P181074/F at Herefordshire Council.
Full planning permission was initially granted on 22nd June 2018. Approval of details reserved by conditions 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 was given on 2nd April 2020.

It is a rare opportunity to purchase a plot of land with planning permission in this spectacular setting which is situated in the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From the plot there are superb views across the Wye Valley gorge - the famed image of the River Wye winding its way through the rocky landscape.
The location is famed for its phenomenal river scenery, woodland expanses and limestone cliffs. There are a multitude of reputable riverside pubs and restaurants which are exceedingly popular with local residents and tourists alike, plus plenty of delightful walking and cycle routes throughout the area and, for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, various companies offer a wide range of activities such as canoe hire and abseiling sessions.
The closest village, Whitchurch is particularly sought after, partially owing to its Church of England Primary School, which has been graded as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. The popular community-spirited village shop, Woods of Whitchurch, stocks locally-made produce, fresh fruit and vegetables, various essentials and also operates as a coffee shop and takeaway. In addition, Whitchurch also boasts a village hall, an MOT centre, an Indian restaurant, a highly-commended hospitality venue - The Old Court Hotel, plus a post box and bus stop.
Symonds Yat is situated just two miles from the Welsh border and centred between the two popular market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, both of which offer highly-regarded secondary schools, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities and independently-owned shops.
The planning permission with conditions approved was granted by Herefordshire Council in April 2020 for a detached home with three/four bedrooms. Full details are on Herefordshire Council's website, under planning number P181074/F.
