In this way, the houses will It is called BIMBY - standing for ‘beauty in my back yard’ be well-designed, locally distinctive, and importantly, what - and aims to act as an antidote to ‘nimby-ism’, or a ‘not in most people in the area like. my back yard’ attitude towards development. The BIMBY toolkit is designed to: • welcome developers into a community; • clarify placemaking principles, elevational proportions, materials, and standards that the local community desires; and in turn, • smooth the planning process so that there is more planning certainty and political support up front for the right kind of development. The Prince’s Foundation used exercises from the BIMBY toolkit, tailored to Madley’s position in its neighbourhood development plan process, for the workshop - the content and outputs of which are presented in Section 1. This information provides valuable insight into the strengths, challenges, and preferences of the community, which should be considered and respected by any developer.

The Council shall then hold a opportunity and formed a neighbourhood development further six-week consultation period, examination, and plan committee (NDPC) to create a plan for the 2011-2031 finally a referendum on the plan. period. The NDP covers the whole parish and includes most Option D land uses. The main issues to be considered in the document are: • Amount and type of new housing • Protecting village and rural character • Madley airfield • Larger-scale farming development • Community facilities • Traffic, parking, and active travel • Flood risk • Location of settlement boundary Part of the plan’s function is to acknowledge housing need and determine the best sites to locate it. Madley is designated by the Herefordshire Core Strategy to provide 89 dwellings during the period (based on 18% growth). 72 have already been granted planning permission or have been built, leaving a target of 17 dwellings (seen as a minimum number). In 2016, the NDPC held an Issues and Options consultation, and in 2017 a ‘call for sites.’ This was followed by a community consultation and further analysis of the submitted sites. The parcel of land bounded by Archenfield, the nursery land, and the B4352 - with an area sufficient for 22 dwellings - was chosen as the preferred site in 2018. This site is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Option D provides around 22 new dwellings, of which 8 would be affordable homes.

  • Madley Parish Council Reg16 Comments
    Latham, James From: Turner, Andrew Sent: 12 February 2020 15:35 To: Neighbourhood Planning Team Subject: RE: Madley Regulation 16 submission neighbourhood development plan consultation RE: Madley Regulation 16 submission neighbourhood development plan Dear Neighbourhood Planning Team, I refer to the above and would make the following comments with regard to the above proposed development plan. It is my understanding that you do not require comment on Core Strategy proposals as part of this consultation or comment on sites which are awaiting or have already been granted planning approval. Having reviewed records readily available, I would advise the following: Policy MH2L Land west of Archenfield, Madley A review of Ordnance survey historical plans indicate the proposed site allocated for development (indicated in grey on Plan 4); Land west of Archenfield, appears to have had no previous historic potentially contaminative uses. Policy MH5 Housing in the wider countryside Some farm buildings may be used for the storage of potentially contaminative substances (oils, herbicides, pesticides) or for the maintenance and repair of vehicles and machinery. As such it is possible that unforeseen contamination may be present on the site. Consideration should be given to the possibility of encountering contamination on the site as a result of its former uses and specialist advice be sought should any be encountered during the development. Regarding sites with a historic agricultural use, I would mention that agricultural practices such as uncontrolled burial of wastes or excessive pesticide or herbicide application may be thought of as potentially contaminative and any development should consider this. Policy MB1 Madley Airfield (indicated in purple on plan 5) The Airfield’s potentially contaminative use would require consideration prior to any development.

    ABO BLOOD GROUPS, HUMAN HISTORY AND LANGUAGE IN HEREFORDSHIRE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE LOW B FREQUENCY IN EUROPE I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Aberystwyth Received6.x.64 1.INTRODUCTION HEREFORDSHIREis repeatedly referred to in Domesday as lying in Wales and the county is regularly described as such in the Pipe Rolls until 1249-50. Of the two dozen or so charters granted to the county town, a number are addressed to the citizens of Hereford in Wales. That fluency in Welsh was until 1855oneof the qualifications for the post of clerk to the Hereford city magistrates indicated the county's bilingual nature. The object of the present investigation is to ascertain whether there is any significant genetic difference between the part of Herefordshire conquered by the Anglo-Saxons and the area called "Welsh Hereford- shire ".Assome moorland parishes have lost 50 per cent. of their inhabitants during the last 50 years, the need to carry out the survey is the more pressing. 2.THE HUMAN HISTORY OF HEREFORDSHIRE Pre-Norman Conquest Offa'sgeneral line of demarcation between England and Wales in the eighth century extending in Herefordshire from near Lyonshall to Bridge Sollars, about five miles upstream from Hereford, is inter- mittent in the well-wooded lowlands, being only found in the Saxon clearings. From this Fox (i) infers that the intervening forest with its dense thickets of thorn and bramble filling the space under the tree canopy was an impassable barrier. Downstream to Redbrook (Glos.) the river was probably the boundary but the ferry crossing from Beachley to Aust and the tidal navigational rights up the Wye were retained by the Welsh—facts which suggest that the Dyke was in the nature of an agreed frontier.

  • SHLAA Rural Repot
    Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment - Rural Report November 2015 Important Notice SHLAA Disclaimer In relation to the information contained within this report and any other report relating to the findings of Herefordshire Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, the council makes the following disclaimer without prejudice: The SHLAA document seeks to identify and assess land available with housing potential to inform future housing allocations. The Council is required to carry out, maintain and update its SHLAAs. The key points that should be acknowledged when referring to this document are: • The SHLAA only identifies sites with or without development potential; it does not allocate sites in the manner of an adopted plan. • The SHLAA is based on the most up to date information available (supplied and researched) at the time of the document’s preparation. Therefore factors may be subject to change over time and may have an effect on any site. They may include, but are not limited to: - site boundaries - assessment information - constraints may be mitigated/overcome or additional factors may be identified - likely development timescales may be subject to change - site capacity or densities may be subject to change as additional information is developed and masterplanning detail takes place - the availability of the site may be reassessed by the landowner • The inclusion of a site within this document does not imply that the Council would necessarily grant planning permission for residential use. Similarly, the exclusion of sites from the study does not preclude the possibility of planning permission for development being granted. • The inclusion of a site within the document does not preclude them from being developed for other purposes.

SUBMISSION TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FROM BREINTON PARISH COUNCIL ELECTORAL REVIEW OF HEREFORDSHIRE COUNCIL 2012 Breinton is a small rural parish (396 Council tax paying households in 2012, 711 registered electors in 2011) immediately to the west of Hereford city. The boundaries of the parish are as follows: To the north and west – Stretton Sugwas & Kenchester parishes, To the south - the River Wye, and To the east – Hereford City (St Nicholas and Three Elms wards) The four parishes of Breinton, Stretton Sugwas, Kenchester and Credenhill currently form the Credenhill ward of Herefordshire Council. Breinton is currently un-warded and so, on our understanding of electoral law, the parish cannot be split between different county wards Breinton parish council believes that the current arrangement of wards for Herefordshire Council in its area should continue and not be changed by the current review for the following reasons. 1) There are strong similarities between Breinton, Kenchester and Stretton Sugwas including the scatter of small settlements, employment of residents, age profile, open & rural landscape and the issues facing local councillors and the people they represent. These parishes have been designated by Herefordshire Council as part of the Hereford rural sub-locality i.e. the rural fringe of the historic city.
