PLANS for dog breeding kennels near Whitchurch have been refused.

The planning application from Mr L Hancock was for a single storey building for dog breeding in Marstow.

But Herefordshire Council officers refused the application, which they said was supported by "inadequate and insufficient information to enable adequate assessment."

The officer also said the proposal would be likely to have a potentially unacceptable and significant harmful impact on the character and amenity of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, highway safety and the residential amenity of surrounding properties.
