Proposals have been put forward for 2-5 High Street in Ross-on-Wye

Plans have been put forward for a four-storey, town centre flat development.

The proposal , externalhas been made for 2-5 High Street, in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, immediately beside the town's grade II* listed Market House.

Developers said it would leave the existing red-brick front of the High Street "relatively unchanged", with the existing shop premises refurbished and top floors extended.

Residents have until 22 January to comment on the application.

The roof level on either side of the central four-storey section would be raised and a section of the existing roof would be replaced by a new "roof garden and terraced area", the Local Democracy Reporting service said.
