News on Herefordshire Local Plan 2021-2041

In the new Local Plan, we need to include provision for new homes for Travellers and Travelling Show People. Our latest evidence tells us that we will need at least 35 pitches for Gypsies and Travellers, and 9 additional Travelling Show People plots. This is set in our latest Herefordshire Gypsy and Travellers Accommodation Assessment (GTAA). Therefore, we are keen to hear about any sites that could help meet this need. They can be new sites, extensions to existing sites or increases in the number of pitches/plots within existing sites.

If you have a site that you think might be suitable please visit the Call for Traveller Sites tile on the Hereford Local Plan Commonplace homepage. Here you can find information about what type of sites are suitable and also complete the call for sites form. Details of how to do this and what information we need are included on the form.

For any advice and help with this please contact a member of the planning policy team by telephone on 01432 383637 or by email at ldf@herefordshire.gov.uk and we will respond to you as soon as possible.

Confidentiality: Please note that we will not publish any of your personal details or say who sent the information in. We will not publish any information about your site suggestions until we have informed you of the results of our assessments. You have the right to withdraw your site from consideration at any time.
