Herefordshire Council has issued an enforcement notice to AS Green, a large vegetable grower at Rook Row Farm near Mathon, requiring it to reverse unauthorised changes. The farm installed 33 static caravans for workers and converted a barn for year-round vegetable processing, drawing complaints from neighbours. The notice demands cessation of non-agricultural use, including industrial, storage, distribution and residential activities, within six months, and removal of all caravans and container accommodation within nine months. The council cited detrimental impact of heavy goods traffic on road safety and unsustainable development in the countryside.
