A planning application has been submitted for the development of a convenience store and six flats at the Royal National College for the Blind site in Hereford.

The planning application details the proposed mixed use development comprising a new convenience store (retail) on ground floor and 6 No. 2-bedroom flats at first floor with associated access, car park and landscaping.

The retail store would serve the local community with an emphasis on the majority of customers travelling to the store by foot or by cycling. Parking will also be available, with 18 parking spaces for the convenience store and flats.

The planned opening hours for the store are from 6am-11pm daily.

The application includes a building at 56 Venns Lane. The house was built in the 1960’s and there is therefore no historic element that means the development couldn’t go ahead as detailed in the planning application.
