PLANS to build 71 homes at a medieval hamlet near Droitwich Spa have been probed by planning chiefs.

A three-day public inquiry into a multi-million pound development at Hadzor Hall ended on Friday.

The Keep Hadzor Special Campaign group called for the inquiry which took place at the Civic Centre, in Pershore.

Residents say the courtyard style development could ruin the area.

The Planning Inspectorate, based in Bristol, will take several weeks to make its decision.

Developer Neil Grinnall wants to restore the 14th Century hall, adjacent church, grounds and farm, and provide three acres of open space.
