Kinsey Hern’s wanted to develop land at lower Wotton Farm in Wotton Lane, Almeley.
But Herefordshire Council ha rejected the scheme because it went against local and national planning policies.
The outline plans for the proposed four to six barn style homes said they would complement the other nearby homes, according to consultants working on the scheme.
Consultants working on the scheme said the purpose-built homes will provide more suitable housing and are ore in keeping with the area.
“The large existing agricultural buildings will be removed improving the character and landscape of this immediate area,” the design and access statement reads.
