LLANGARRON PARISH NDP Comment type Support I wish to fully support the Llangarron NDP at this stage. REDACTED, yet we are finally close to the referendum stage that will allow the views of the majority of residents to be taken into account more. The process has been thoroughly democratic, and very well run by the Parish Council under Chair Sylvia Matthews. It should be noted that there has been a rush to develop our parish with in excess of one hundred dwellings built or under permission, this is far above the target of 64 houses by 2031. Most of these houses contrary to parishioners views are detached Your comments executive style houses rather than affordable/ first time buyer style which in my view would have been preferable to encourage a younger element to our villages. Flooding is a major issue to many which is never helped by more and more development. I understand that river quality is a similar hot topic that is often exacerbated by new dwellings most of which are using septic outflows into the Garron Brook. I therefore fully support the proposed village boundaries. 1 Latham, James From: Alison Weston Sent: 18 April 2021 20:08 To: Neighbourhood Planning Team Cc: Ian Subject: Llangarron Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan This message originated from outside of Herefordshire Council or Hoople. Please do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and know the content is safe. I would like to express my support for the Llangarron Neighbourhood Development Plan which I understand is, at present, with the Herefordshire Council at the Regulation 16 consultation phase. As a resident of Llangarron, I would like this plan adopted as soon as possible. I strongly believe that more housing in our small village would be detrimental to the existing residents because of the increasing problems with flooding and river pollution which we are experiencing several times each year. More housing development will undoubtably cause more frequent flooding due to the run off onto our roads and lanes. Often, this water is contaminated with sewage. It is my understanding that 101 houses have already received planning permission in an area with few facilities and narrow country lanes. If these homes were affordable housing enabling young, local families to purchase them, more building might be acceptable. However, nearly all the houses planned and built are large, detached executive‐style houses which are beyond the means of young families.

Development Plan Comment type Comment In Llangarron Parish, Llangrove is identified in Figure 4.14: The settlement which will be the main focus of proportionate housing development. Given that the housing developments in plan already exceed, by a significant margin, more that the area development requires, no more new housing plans should be permitted until the 2031 review. Existing development construction traffic continues to destroy the green verge within the village, it has, and will further exacerbated the deterioration of the main road to and through Llangrove, which is in serious need of an extensive resurfacing. The village boundaries should be retained, there is already too much traffic , especially large lorries short cutting through the village, as rat Your comments runs to and from the A40 and A49. Drainage and sewerage capacity it a problem and quite frankly, given the concerns and special measures that previous development had to put in place ( namely the 2.5 story developments by the Royal Arms), l cannot see how or why the new developments ( in or of recent construction) were permitted .... let alone any more housing in the village of Llangrove. 1. Llangrove is at and above it housing capacity for the facilities it has. 2. The roads and sewerage systems are in dire need of refurbishment and repair. 3. Those houses that have been permitted have very little green space of there own, given the low level of communal green space, so these are NOT suitable housing for young families or 1 those suitable for older residents of the village to down size to in later life. This means we are trapped in larger houses of 3-4 bed ( which have substantial gardens for generational living) when an only surviving member of a household.. if we want to stay in our village community! 2 Dear Sir / Madam, I am writing regarding Llangarron’s Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP), as I feel it is not aligned with the parishes needs. Firstly, I feel that there has been poor communication to the parishioners, informing them of when the NDP meetings are being held and the amount of time allocated to the future of the parish. My main concern is that the boundary in Llangarron is set in one of the most densely populated areas of the village leaving very little opportunity for an ever‐expanding population. The NDP states, 4.0 Vision and Objectives Objective 1 ‐ Sustainability: To promote the creation of balanced communities with sufficient housing, business opportunities and facilities to satisfy all sectors of the community. (To be delivered through Policy SUS1 and all other NDP Policies) Objective 3 ‐ Employment: To support existing businesses and to attract new employment opportunities in local agriculture, food production and sustainable tourism opportunities, so that jobs are provided close to where people live, and opportunities for homeworking are encouraged. (To be delivered through NDP Policies EMP1 and EMP2) Objective 4 ‐ Housing: To ensure the provision of sustainable, energy efficient housing in the Parish which is appropriately designed to meet the needs of all sectors of the community. This will include both private and affordable sectors. The scale, design and location of the dwellings should as far as possible, reflect the character of the area and any new dwellings should be built to a high standard of design. (To be delivered through NDP Policies HOU1, HOU2, HOU3 and HOU4) I feel to achieve these objectives, there needs to be an opportunity for property and property prices to be more aligned with Herefordshire salaries i.e. 2/3 bedroom properties to support the longevity of the village and employment of the area. Where recent development has been granted, it only seems to have catered for the wealthy, and therefore I feel the NDP boundary contradicts the Vision & Objectives. My final concern is that in this current climate, understandably, meetings are held virtually using the Zoom platform, a lot of people may not have the use of or be confident with this technology REDACTED. REDACTED. Thank you for your time & the opportunity to comment on the NDP. Yours sincerely, Alistair Mason.

Dear Sirs, We would like to comment on the Llangarron Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan (" NDP"). We support the NDP's proposals for Llangarron, not least because the village has already " done its bit" and has already seen significant development, despite the fact it has no facilities to support the additional residents further development would bring, for example a school, a shop or a public house. Further, the road network through the village is not well suited to accommodating the existing traffic, let alone any increase which would result from further development. Permitted development in the village already far exceeds the target set by Herefordshire County Council (" the Council") for house building by 2031. REDACTED. Whilst we are opposed to any further development, we should also record our view that the Council has a duty to enforce planning conditions attached to permissions and should be seen to be doing so. Some of the existing conditions attached to permissions serve an important purpose and in part protect the village from increased flood and pollution risk. If ignored or flouted by developers, the consequences for the residents of the village could be significant and we therefore look forward to confirmation that the Council will carry out its functions in that regard. The village has suffered from flooding repeatedly in recent years and any additional housing is likely to exacerbate that problem, increase the effects of run off and add to the threat of sewage pollution. Llangarron has seen more than its fair share of development in recent years and the proposed boundaries shown in the NDP and the proposals in the NDP itself are appropriate in our view. We therefore support its adoption.
