More Houses Near the Co-op

I've been told about a new planning application just opposite the Co-op and Huws Gray builders' merchants.
The whole site is two fields, but Berry's, the developer, has only put in plans for ten buildings on a portion of the site - from the plans it looks like about a third of the land available. These will be houses with three or more bedrooms, in fairly large gardens. By extending the housing beyond Bookers Edge and Cherry Trees, the older house, it's a classic "ribbon development", where new houses are strung out along roads rather than in blocks of new development like the 80 houses built by Persimmon at the other end of Hay.
It's also slightly strange, because there is a gap in the plans opposite the entrance drive which is big enough for an eleventh house. Could this be to build a road to the rest of the site at a later date?
Because the proposed development is in Cusop, the planning application is under the jurisdiction of Herefordshire Council - and under their rules any development of ten houses or fewer does not have to build any affordable housing. So Berry's, on behalf of Mr Lloyd (who I presume is the owner of the field), can build ten three bedroomed houses without having to consider smaller houses which are more affordable for local people - and there is still a need for affordable houses for local people which was not filled by the last two housing developments in Hay and Cusop.
