A farmer is hoping to create a nine-hole golf course in Powick.

A putting green and children's play area are included in proposals for Manor Farm. Landowner Thomas Hawkins said the application was an attempt to diversify after hop production was hit by a soil-borne disease some years ago.

Land was then converted to a pick-your-own soft fruit farm.

"We want to provide a golf course that is accessible to all," he said.

If permission is granted, the course could open next spring.
