❓ What is a Local plan?
The Local Plan is an important planning document that helps to shape Herefordshire, by looking at how we as a community can plan for where new housing, businesses, industry, community facilities like schools, medical facilities, community halls as well as transport links should go in the future. It is also about looking at what land should be kept available for recreation, farming and wildlife.
It’s all about how we utilise our space now and in the future.
The purpose of the Draft Local Plan consultation and questionnaire is to talk to members of the public to find out what they think of the Local Plan, and that their concerns, which can be addressed through the Local Plan have been met. It provides an opportunity for people to have a say in the future of where they live.
We have created a summary and a shorter questionnaire for younger people who live and go to school or college in Herefordshire, as your views and opinions are really important in shaping the county you live in.
