Border Group Neighbourhood Plan – October 2018 3 1. Introduction Background 1.1 Border Group Neighbourhood Development Plan (the NDP) is a new type of planning document introduced by the Localism Act of 2011. It enables local communities to make a significant contribution to some of the planning decisions about how their areas should be developed. 1.2 Border Group Parish Council made a formal submission to Herefordshire Council to designate the Group Parish as a Neighbourhood Plan Area under the Localism Act 2011, with the intention of preparing this NDP on 28th May 2013. Following a consultation period this was approved on 18th July 2013. This NDP has been prepared in accordance with Herefordshire Local Plan Core Strategy which was adopted by Herefordshire Council on 16th October 2015. 1.3 In deciding to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan the Group Parish Council was aware of the alternatives which were: i) Not to prepare a plan but rely upon Herefordshire Core Strategy which would allow developers to bring forward sites in any of the settlements as they see fit in order to meet and potentially exceed the target for new housing set for the Group of Parishes.

    o • • TRANSACTIONS OF THE WOOLHOPE NATURALISTS' FIELD CLUB. [ESTABLISHED 1851.] 1905, 1906, 1907. " HOPE ON." " HOPE EVER." HEREFORD: PRINTED BY JAKEMAN AND CARVER. ISSUED APRIL, 1911. EDITOR'S PREFACE. Owing to various circumstances the issue of the present Volume of Transactions has been unavoidably delayed, much to the regret of the Editorial Committee. The death of the late accomplished Editor, Dr. Cecil Moore, deprived the Club of the services of one whose long experience and extensive acquaintance with the subjects which engage the interests of its members made him a difficult man to follow, and some time elapsed before arrangements could be made to take up his work. A great quantity of matter, manuscript and printed, had accumulated in Dr. Moore's hands, and at his death was deposited in the Woolhope Library. To sift and prepare for the press what Dr. Moore had intended for publication has been necessarily a work of time, but it is hoped that the Volume now in the hands of members will justify the delay in publication, and prove not altogether unworthy of its predecessors. Owing to the size of the present Volume several interesting papers are held over to the next Volume. For the carefully prepared Index to the Volume the Club is indebted to Mr. Sledmere. V.
