Introduction 1.1 Much Birch Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) is a new type of planning document introduced by the Localism Act of 2011. It enables local communities to make a major contribution to some of the planning decisions that will be needed to meet the requirements for development within their areas. It does this by enabling local communities to set planning policies that will be used in determining planning applications. Once it is adopted it will become part of the Development Plan, sitting alongside the Local Plan which includes Herefordshire Core Strategy, guiding what might receive planning permission as well as indicating what measures are to be promoted to guide new development.

  • Annual Report 2014
    The Birds of Herefordshire 2014 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Starling murmurations above Bulmers in Hereford City in March 2014 (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial I am pleased to present the 2014 edition of ‘The Birds of Herefordshire’, the 64th annual report of the Herefordshire Ornithological Club (HOC). Some further changes in format have been incorporated in this publication, including the larger book size, which allows a wider range of illustrative material to be presented more professionally. Once again, I hope you enjoy reading about the 2014 birding year. 2014 saw a quantum leap in bird recording for the Club with the adoption of BirdTrack as the standard system of recording. The roll-out of this recording system within HOC was overseen by Chris Robinson and Mick Colquhoun and, once members are au fait with the data entry process, it should revolutionise the collection and handling of an increasing volume and detail of data being collected. Once again we are indebted to you, the observers, for collecting these records during 2014, and to the eight script writers, for scrutinising and summarising the data for each species in the systematic list accounts. However, the data is still light on confirmed breeding evidence and on relevant behavioural and habitat comments, so please do not forget to include this information wherever possible. Surprisingly, there have been no changes in the taxonomic classification of the species relevant to Herefordshire this year, and hence the systematic list sequence presented here is as for 2013. However an opportunity has been taken by the Rarities Subcommittee to carry out a thorough review of the historical records of rarer species and this updated information is incorporated into the new format for the county list of 280 species which is presented on pages 12 – 16.

    . THE HUNDRED-N AMES OF THE SOUTH-EASTERN COUNTIES I I ii;li! :/1, I :1 ill~ I iidlill' , ;1·"I" , Buckinghamshire The most interesting feature of the history of the Buckinghamshire hundreds is the grouping together of the Domesday hundreds of the county in threes, so that the nine modern hundreds correspond to 18 Domesday hundreds. The amalgamation seems to date approximately from the middle of the 13th century, though the hundreds may have been grouped together in this way as early as Domesday Book (VHBk I. 226 and reference). The modern Buckingham hd contains the Domesday hds of Stodlald, Rovelai I' and Lam2la, Ashendon those of Vofesdune, Tichesela and Essedene, lil~ Aylesbury those of Stanes, Riseberg and Elesberie, Cottesloe those of ',''',1 '1 i Mursalai, Erlai and Coteslau, and Newport those of Moleslou, Sigela,i and :"11' Bonestou. The three hundreds of southern Buckinghamshire, Desborough, Burnham and Stoke, were also grouped together as 'the Chiltern Hundreds', but here each hundred retained its separate identity. The grouping of the hundreds in threes has a parallel in the Worcestershire and Warwickshire 'ship-sokes', on which see Engl. Hundr. Names XIX, PNWa XIX, H. M. Cam in Hist. Ess. in Honour of J.
