  • Hereford Area Plan Site Options Consultation Statement Appendix 1
    Question 1: Do you agree that the sites that have been identified as having potential are the most suitable sites to consider for future housing development? If there is a specific site you have concerns about please identify the site in your response. Site ref Name of responder Comments All the sites have the potential to impact on the River Wye SAC through foul and surface water drainage. Some of the sites due to their proximity to either the River Wye or water courses which are a tributary of the River Wye may have impacts on otters which are an interest feature of the SAC and Bel08 & various Natural England SSSI. (Please refer to published original responses for full version). We support the proposed allocation of Bel08 however we consider that all of the land that we submitted for our client should be included in the HAP even if it is identified as a 'HAP Discounted Bel08 Savills Site'. (Please refer to published original responses for full version). Reference to rejection of Newton Farm Town Green Action Group's Argyll Rise town green Bel08 Martin Gilleland application. (Please refer to published online responses for full version). Bel15 ‐ A number of potential constraints are present at the site. However, it is considered that with careful design of the proposed development to enable the retention of the mature and veteran trees (the habitats of greatest ecological value), and the implementation of suitable safeguarding measures, the delivery of the site is readily achievable in terms of ecology. Lioncourt submits that it is wholly inappropriate to identify sites with an approximate collective capacity of less than the identified minimum housing requirement of 3,200 dwellings.
