A farm bungalow located near Ross-on-Wye, originally built under agricultural occupancy conditions dating back to the 1960s, is no longer restricted to housing farm workers. The historically enforced condition requiring the property to be occupied solely by farmers has been deemed unenforceable due to changes in planning regulations and evolving interpretations of agricultural occupancy.
This relaxation opens up new possibilities for the use of such properties, providing more flexibility for potential occupants. The move reflects a broader trend in rural housing policies, adapting to modern needs while balancing the interests of agricultural operations and local communities.
