    Our ref: APP/W1850/W/20/3244410 Guy Wakefield Ridge and Partners LLP 15 March 2021 Dear Sir TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990 – SECTION 78 APPEAL MADE BY BLOOR HOMES WESTERN LAND NORTH OF VIADUCT, ADJACENT TO ORCHARD BUSINESS PARK, LEDBURY APPLICATION REF: 171532 1. I am directed by the Secretary of State to say that consideration has been given to the report of Lesley Coffey BA Hons BTP MRTPI, who held a public local inquiry starting on 13 July 2020 into your client’s appeal against the decision of Herefordshire Council to refuse your client’s application for outline planning permission for a mixed use development including the erection of up to 625 new homes (including affordable housing), up to 2.9 hectares of B1 employment land, a canal corridor, public open space (including a linear park), access, drainage and ground modelling works and other associated works, in accordance with LPA reference 171532, dated 22 June 2018. The proposal is for outline planning permission with all matters reserved for future consideration with the exception of access. Only the means of access into the site is sought as part of this outline application, not the internal site access arrangements (i.e. they do not formally form part of the application). Vehicular access is proposed off the Bromyard Road. 2. On 26 March 2020, this appeal was recovered for the Secretary of State's determination, in pursuance of section 79 of, and paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Inspector’s recommendation and summary of the decision 3.

This information has been expanded upon by relevant specialists. This booklet is the result of a community project and it is to those members of the local community that the first thanks must go. It is due to their dedication during a particularly wet and windy month that the survey work was completed. In particular thanks must go to Janet Cooper who assisted with co-ordinating the volunteer involvement. The project was only possible through the support of the staff of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Partnership and the funding provided by their Sustainable Development Fund. The project brought together organisations, societies and individuals from varied areas of interests covering archaeology, history, ecology, geology and forestry.

    Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Second Stage Investigations: Iss. 2, Mar-2016 Iron Age Hillforts Survey (Northamptonshire): Analysis of the Individual Hillfort Reports Synopsis: In the autumn of 2013, CLASP undertook to assist national teams working to compile an “Atlas of British Iron Age Hillforts” (jointly led by focus groups of senior archaeologists at the universities of Oxford and Edinburgh), by carrying out surveys of all known prehistoric hillforts in Northamptonshire. The results of these Northamptonshire surveys naturally feed forward into the national hillforts survey – but in addition, the CLASP team has recognised that the results for Northamptonshire are themselves capable of interpretation and analysis on a local basis. Resulting from this detailed research on each of the individual sites, it gradually became clear that it would be instructive to carry out further analytical investigations. This paper therefore aims to explore, analyse and summarise such of these investigations as could be carried out by desktop analysis and study of the individual survey reports. Five ‘metrics’ are first identified, by which the hillforts can be assessed; and case-study analysis is then applied to selected groups of the hilforts, incorporating a great deal of further data drawn from the wider landscape area around the hillforts, in order to study the ways in which the five metrics apply to each of the selected groups of forts. As a result, it has been possible to form certain conclusions, and to advance some theories about the site groupings and their functions and possible interactions. The CLASP team involved in this study is as follows: G.W.
