The Stretton Grandison Group Parish have undertaken to prepare an NDP and this process has been subject to environmental appraisal pursuant to the SEA Directive. The Parish comprises the parishes of Stretton Grandison, the parish lies 8 miles north west pf Ledbury and 10 miles north east to the city pf Hereford. The Draft Stretton Grandison NDP includes 6 objectives and it is intended that these objectives will be delivered by 11 mostly criteria based planning policies and 5 site allocations, to accommodate up to 23 dwellings. A settlement boundary is proposed for Stretton Grandison, Lower Eggleton, Fromes Hill, Canon Frome and Eggleton. The environmental appraisal of the Stretton Grandison NDP has been undertaken in line with the Environmental Assessment of Plan and Programmes Regulations 2004. Stage A of the SEA process involved Scoping and Stage B provided a review and analysis of the NDP. Stage C involved preparing an Environmental Report and Stage D comprises a formal consultation on both this and the Draft Plan itself. Several policies within the NDP have been amended following regulation examination undertaken in June- July 2020. The majority of the modifications were minor changes therefore the majority of the policies not considered not necessary to rescreen. One policy SG1, has been rescreened as there was an addition of text, promoting active travel and connecting Hereford and Ledbury using the old canal network. The remainder of the changes were minor wording changes and clarification of the area of Canon Frome Court, these modification are considered minor and therefore not necessary to rescreen. Policy SG12 has been deleted, as this was seen as superfluous to the policies within the Core Strategy. The conclusion set out in the Draft Environment Report is still valid, that the Stretton Grandison Group NDP is in general conformity with both national planning policy contained in the National Planning Policy Framework and strategic policies set within the Herefordshire Local Plan (Core Strategy). Therefore, no further changes are recommended as a result of this SEA (stage D). Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) screening has been carried out as the Group Parish falls within the catchment for the River Wye (including the Lugg) SAC, Wye Valley and Forest pf Dean Bat Sites and Wye Valley Woodlands SAC. The HRA assesses the potential effects of the NDP on the River Wye (including the Lugg) SAC, Wye Valley and Forest pf Dean Bat Sites and Wye Valley Woodlands SAC. On the whole, it is considered that the Stretton Grandison Group NDP is in general conformity with both national planning policy contained in the National Planning Policy Framework and strategic policies set within the Herefordshire Local Plan (Core Strategy). Once made (adopted) by Herefordshire Council, the effects of the policies within the Stretton Grandison NDP will be monitored annually via the Council’s Annual Monitoring Report (AMR). _________________________________________________________________________________ This document is copyright of Herefordshire Council.

The plan also allocates six sites in Stretton Grandison and Canon Frome. Stretton Grandison, Canon Frome and Lower Eggleton are identified within table 4.14 and 4.15 which is targeted for proportional levels of growth in Policy RA1and RA2 of the Herefordshire Local Plan (Core Strategy). The NDP will, however, provide general policies for guiding future development across the parish as a whole. Purpose of the SEA 1.3 SEA is a requirement of EC Directive 2001/42/EC (the SEA Directive) which requires the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment to ensure that the proposals in that plan or programme contribute to the achievement of sustainable development. 1.4 The Directive was transposed into domestic legislation through the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 and which applies to plans with significant environmental effects. 1.5. A screening opinion was carried out on the Stretton Grandison NDP and it concluded that due to the range of environmental designations in and around the parish, there may be significant environmental effects and consequently an SEA would be required. Neighbourhood Plan Context 1.6 Stretton Grandison Group Parish comprises of the parish of Stretton Grandison. The Parish covers a rural area within central Herefordshire, and borders on the western edge of Hereford. The parish borders with several other parishes including Yarkhill, Ashperton, Bosbury and Coddington, Bishops Frome and Much Cowarne. 1.7 Stretton Grandison Group Parish have around a population of 360 living, the majority of the population lives within the settlement of Stretton Grandison, Canon Frome and Lower Eggleton. The settlement pattern has developed organically in the form of villages, hamlets, scattered groups of houses, wayside dwellings, and farmsteads, all set amongst pasture and arable farmland, woodland, and orchards. No village is the focus of local services, with schools, village halls, and community shops outside the area. There is a Nursery in Stretton Grandison. Each of the parishes have their own churches. The River Frome flows roughly north east to south west through the area and parts of the area are at risk of flooding (Middle Frome Catchment). 1.8 The neighbourhood area boasts many natural features, not least 7 ancient woodlands, `` Special Wildlife Sites, 1 SSSI and 2 unregistered parks and garden, parish borders 1 conservation areas. There are numerous built heritage assets, too, including listed buildings, 3 Scheduled Monuments and non-designated assets. The river Wye SAC runs along the eastern border of the parish. 1.9 The vision statement for Stretton Grandison Group Neighbourhood Area in 2031 is as follows: New housing development, including affordable housing, will be provided to support the sustainable growth of the area. Development will be of a high quality design which is sympathetic to the distinctive rural character of existing local buildings in the area. In addition, buildings will incorporate sustainable design principles including energy efficiency measures. _________________________________________________________________________________ This document is copyright of Herefordshire Council.

To identify the distribution and scale of housing growth in each of the identified settlements in the Core Strategy. HO2. To work closely with neighbouring parishes to promote a joint approach to growth at Fromes Hill and Lower Eggleton. HO3. To identify a range of suitable sites through a Call for Sites and Site Assessment process. HO4. To support a suitable and appropriate mix of house types, tenures and sizes in both new development and residential conversions across the Group Parish. ENO1. To conserve and protect the park landscapes of Homend Park and Canon Frome Court, including individual veteran trees and avenues

    “JUST AS THE PRIESTS HAVE THEIR WIVES”: PRIESTS AND CONCUBINES IN ENGLAND, 1375-1549 Janelle Werner A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Judith M. Bennett Reader: Professor Stanley Chojnacki Reader: Professor Barbara J. Harris Reader: Cynthia B. Herrup Reader: Brett Whalen © 2009 Janelle Werner ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT JANELLE WERNER: “Just As the Priests Have Their Wives”: Priests and Concubines in England, 1375-1549 (Under the direction of Judith M. Bennett) This project – the first in-depth analysis of clerical concubinage in medieval England – examines cultural perceptions of clerical sexual misbehavior as well as the lived experiences of priests, concubines, and their children. Although much has been written on the imposition of priestly celibacy during the Gregorian Reform and on its rejection during the Reformation, the history of clerical concubinage between these two watersheds has remained largely unstudied. My analysis is based primarily on archival records from Hereford, a diocese in the West Midlands that incorporated both English- and Welsh-speaking parishes and combines the quantitative analysis of documentary evidence with a close reading of pastoral and popular literature. Drawing on an episcopal visitation from 1397, the act books of the consistory court, and bishops’ registers, I argue that clerical concubinage occurred as frequently in England as elsewhere in late medieval Europe and that priests and their concubines were, to some extent, socially and culturally accepted in late medieval England.

This NDP has been identified as requiring AA due to the neighbourhood area being within the hydrological catchment of the River Frome. A previous Habitat Regulation Assessment has been undertaken on the Stretton Grandison Group Neighbourhood Plan dated August 2020, however recent advice and responses from Natural England is indicating that a Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment is required. This report addresses the Appropriate Assessment stage; outlines the task undertaken, the findings and recommendations to support the Stretton Grandison Group Neighbourhood Plan through to adoption. The Initial Screening report September 2015 found that the Neighbourhood Area is within the hydrological catchment of the River Frome SAC. The parish is 8 km away from the River Wye SAC but is within the River Frome catchment which is part of the hydrological catchment of the River Wye SAC.

We are very pleased with the alliums we planted by the pond last year, they give a good splash of colour, and the lewisia are flowering particularly well. There are lots of gardens for you to view this summer, with the Tarrington Open Gardens event happening again, providing the addi- tional opportunity to view progress at Stoke Edith Station. The Vil- lage Fete and a Taste of Ukraine allowing a great chance to see the gardens at The Vine. In addition to that there are soirées and cof- fee mornings to go to.

  • ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE
    22 November 2012 Review Officer (Herefordshire) LGBCE, Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street, London EC1M 5LG Dear Sir ELECTORAL REVIEW of HEREFORDSHIRE I support the Commission’s plan for a 53 member council made up of single member wards, and hope the Commission will resist any moves to make way for any multi- member wards. There were some gremlins however in your report – most notably mis- reading of compass bearings! Eardisley is firmly located in the west, whereas Colwall is the east (page 15), and Fownhope is east of Hereford (page 17). But the Commission is to be congratulated on steering through a workable solution despite all the constraints imposed both by the regulations and the socio-political geography of Herefordshire. There does seem to be some problem with Holmer parish which has been included within adjacent areas of Hereford city without making this clear. This seems certain to meet with justified resistance from residents of Holmer parish. Otherwise I support the thrust of proposals for warding within Hereford city, as well as those for Ledbury and Leominster, and am content with the proposals for Ross on Wye. I support the bulk of the Commission’s proposals in rural areas but have some suggestions below which better match community links. First some suggestions for change of name of proposed rural wards LGBCE Nov 2012 comment preferred name Burghill long straggly ward from outskirts of Queenswood Leominster to Hereford Bishops Frome potential confusion with other communities Cradley within Frome valley which aren’t is this ward – prefer name of main parish in the ward Walford prefer current name which implies links Kerne Bridge across River Wye Ashperton Frome valley Clehonger name Madley as more central parish Madley & Clehonger Kimbolton Kimbolton & Brimfield Colwall The Commission has suggested that Mathon be added to Colwall but Colwall ward is already large enough and Mathon has stronger ties with Cradley so inclusion with Bishop’s Frome, renamed Cradley , would produce slightly more balanced electorates.

  • The History of Walsopthorne Farm, Herefordshire
    The Great Barn of 1425–27 at Harmondsworth, Middlesex Barn of 1425–27 at Harmondsworth, The Great The gigantic barns built by the major landowners of medieval England are among our most important historic monuments. Impressive structurally and architecturally, they have much to tell us about the technology of the time and its development, and are buildings of great and simple beauty. But, unlike houses, The Great Barn of 1425–7 castles and churches, barns were centres of production, where grain crops were stored and threshed, and allow us to glimpse a very different side of medieval life – the ceaseless round of at Harmondsworth, Middlesex the farming year on which the lives of rich and poor depended. The Great Barn at Harmondsworth, built in 1425–27 for Edward Impey Winchester College, rescued and restored by English Heritage with Daniel Miles and Richard Lea and Historic England in the last decade, is one of the most impressive and interesting of them all. Prefaced by an exploration of the ancient estate to which it belonged and of its precursor buildings, this book explores why, how and when the barn was built, the ingenuity and oddities of its construction, and the trades, materials and people involved. Aided by an exceptionally full series of medieval accounts, it then examines the way the barn was actually used, and the equipment, personnel, processes and accounting procedures involved – specifically relating to Harmondsworth, but largely common to all great barns. Finally, it covers its later history, uses and ownership, and the development of scholarly and antiquarian Lea Impey with Daniel Miles and Richard Edward interest in this remarkable building.
