Plans to cover part of a farm in year-round polytunnels for growing strawberries have been dropped.

S&A Produce, in Marden, proposed putting up an additional 117 tunnels in six blocks on 33 acres (13.5 hectares).

Plans also included a storage building, reservoir and six water storage tanks.

The proposals received 92 objections.

Herefordshire Council's landscape officer said the likely visual impact would be "of major concern".
