The bulldozers have moved in and the empty business premises have been cleared. House building will soon begin on the site. Outline planning permission was first granted in March 2015 to turn what was then an employment area off College Road into 120 homes. The Herefordshire and Gloucestershire canal runs along the southern part of the site, but the initial aim to include its restoration as part of the development was later abandoned because of the cost. These pictures and drone video of the clearance work were taken by Hereford Times reader Karl Karl .
