The following matters were raised: (a) Recent Flooding – Concern was expressed regarding the number of blocked drains and ditches in the parish. Following discussion, it was agreed to liaise with Balfour Beatty, Herefordshire Council and the relevant land owners to try to develop a co-ordinated plan to clear ditches regularly and to undertake maintenance of pipework. It was noted that many vehicles using the road were too large and were having a detrimental effect on drainage and the issue was exacerbated by debris from hedge cutting. It was further agreed to contact the MP to request assistance from central government to address the issues. The matter would be placed on the next agenda of the Council for full discussion. The Ward Councillor strongly recommended that no one should undertake works on the highways unless they were covered by their own insurance and had the relevant certification. It was also noted that red diesel could not be used in vehicles undertaking highway maintenance. 134/19 FRIENDLY FIELDS ASSOCIATION – Council noted that the Association had formally adopted a Constitution and had made a full representation to the Village Hall Management Committee where it had received the Committee’s full support.

A Steering Group had been set up and would hold its inaugural meeting on Tuesday 25th January 2020 in the Village Hall. It was agreed that the Parish Council would meet all the hire costs of the Village Hall. Cllr Hardy would be the Parish Council’s representative. 136/19 POLICE – The following report was received from PC Knight: A number of incidents of sheep theft had occurred over the past month in the area including one locally where ten sheep had been stolen.

The Parish Council was encouraged to contact the MP to request financial support to meet the cost of repairs especially with regard to the highway; It had been confirmed that the Herefordshire Council annual budget for resurfacing the highway network covered around 2-3% of the network, so on-going maintenance was in decline; Council was encouraged to work with the farming community to try to alleviate some of the issues highlighted; The Herefordshire Council Cabinet was meeting in Ewas Harold on 27th February 2020 from 2pm to 6pm.

It is submitted by Longtown Group Parish Council, which is the qualifying body under the Localism Act 2011. Longtown Group Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) covers the Longtown Group Parish Neighbourhood Plan area only and no other Neighbourhood Plan areas. The Group Parish comprises the parishes of Craswall, LLanveynoe, Longtown and Walterstone. The Local Plan for the Group Parish is Herefordshire Local Plan Core Strategy (HCS) which was adopted on 16 October 2015. Herefordshire Council has also indicated it will prepare a Travellers Development Plan and a Minerals and Waste Development Plan Document. It is expected that, in combination, these will comprise the Development Plan Documents for Longtown Group Parish. The NDP specifies the period for which it is to have effect, which is 2011-2031. This Basic Conditions Statement has been prepared to show that the Longtown Group Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan complies with the provisions of Schedule 4B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as amended. The basic conditions required by this provision are that such plans should: 1. That having regard to national policies and advice contained in guidance issued by the Secretary of State, it is appropriate to make the Neighbourhood Development Plan. 2. Contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. 3. Be in general conformity with the strategic policies contained in the development plan for the area of the authority (or any part of that area).

They can be disappointing if one is more interested in the humbler buildings of the county, which may merit a sentence of two if their age was recognised at the time. The printed work is, however, the tip of the iceberg of the field surveyors’ reports. These are available for consultation at the National Monument Record’s archives at Swindon, and a number were photographed by David Lovelace as part of his own research projects. By kind permission of the archivist the Club has been allowed to reproduce some of those photographs in this article.

A Herefordshire story An enthusiastic antiquarian, talented inventor and pioneer photographer, Alfred Watkins was a born and bred Herefordian. He travelled the length and breadth of the county taking orders for the family brewing business and was passionate about the local landscape. He was also a lifelong member of the Woolhope Naturalists’ Field Club which studied local geology, natural history, architecture, history and archaeology. Pulling together his geographical and historical knowledge, he went on to expound his ley lines theory in The Old Straight Track, published in 1925. Still in print, his book and the concept of ley lines continue to intrigue. Planning your trip The Twin Valley Ley Line trail is 44 miles/71 km long and can be completed over three On 30 June 1921 Alfred Watkins had an extraordinary to five days, depending on your pace, or walked as individual day hikes.

  • Annual Report 2016
    The Birds of Herefordshire 2016 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Herefordshire autumn colours – at Fiddler’s Green and Fownhope Park in mid-November 2016 (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial I am pleased to present to you the 2016 annual report of the Herefordshire Ornithological Club (HOC), the 66th edition of ‘The Birds of Herefordshire’. The 2016 birding year was a very interesting one with 179 species recorded, including three new species – Spoonbill, Bearded Tit and Shore Lark – details of which are presented in the new species section on pages 23 – 26. There were also many more sightings of rarity species than in recent years, including a further 17 species previously seen in the county but recorded less than 20 times. The HOC Rarities Subcommittee, under the chairmanship of Michael Colquhoun, has worked hard to scrutinise these and apply the rigorous approval procedure to produce an accepted rarities list (see pages 18 – 22). This Subcommittee has also re-examined some of the Club’s historic records and updated the definitive list of species for the county with a few minor amendments (see pages 16 – 17). The usual systematic list follows on pages 27 – 101 with an overview presented on each species observed during the year and written by the following script writers – Mike Bailey, Tony Eveleigh, Gareth & Una Morgan, Gerald Parker, John Pullen, Espen Quinto-Ashman, Robert Taylor and Gerald Wells – to whom I am indebted for their commitment to produce these summary accounts, often distilled from hundreds of records, on time and to the guidelines issued. I am also grateful to Tony Eveleigh, John Pullen and Nick Smith for their behind-the-scenes work to rigorously check these species accounts.

  • Landscape Character Assessment Supplementary Planning Guidance
    LANDSCAPE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT Supplementary Planning Guidance 2004 Updated 2009 Landscape Character Assessment ~ SPG 2004 ~ updated 2009 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Herefordshire’s Landscape Character Assessment was researched, co-ordinated, written and updated by Jane Patton, my predecessor, during the period 1999 – 2006. She received invaluable support, encouragement and practical help from a number of people, in particular from Chris Bray and Kay Adams of Worcestershire County Council. Kay Adams and Jonathan Porter (Countryscape consultancy) undertook the initial survey work for Herefordshire, while Bill Jackson (Estate Agent), provided them with offi ce accommodation in Leominster. Steven Warnock, the regional consultant for the production of Landscape Character Assessments, provided expert advice. Advice and encouragement also came from other Local Authorities with whom he was working, notably Dr. Stephen Potter in Staffordshire, Jerry Birbeck in Warwickshire and Rob Pinsent from Shropshire. Dr. Delia Hooke provided much of the initial historical/cultural survey information and analysis, while Paul White from Herefordshire Archaeology later gave valuable insights from his Historic Landscape Characterisation. Penny Oliver of the CPRE (Council for the Protection of Rural England) provided extra data and analysis, particularly regarding woodland cover. Dr. Peter Oliver from the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Earth Heritage Trust checked and re-wrote the geological and soil entries. Anthea Bryan from the Herefordshire Nature Trust provided data and Geoff Gwatkin supplied copies of the county tithe maps. Bridgit Symons, (working for Countryscape consultancy at the time, and who is currently Planning Ecologist for Herefordshire Council), did the ecological fi eldwork required and provided ecological data and analysis. Steve Dring and Gill Eyre undertook the site visits needed to verify information in the Landscape Character Assessment.
