❓ 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.

Vision

The vision for the Local Plan sets the scene for how the county will be at 2041. It is based on the three themes of Environment, Community and Economy.

🌳 Environment

Herefordshire will be carbon neutral, and nature rich. The county’s distinctive landscapes, cultural heritage and natural environment will be protected and enhanced for the benefit of people and wildlife. The county’s residents’ quality of life will be enhanced by ensuring they are able to live in more environmentally sustainable way

👫 Community

The county will have resilient, well connected communities where new development is beautifully designed and inclusive. The health and wellbeing of the county’s residents will be enhanced by everyone having the opportunity to live in a decent home with access to community facilities and services.

💸 Economy

Herefordshire will be prosperous, with a diverse and sustainable economy. The county’s farming heritage and sustainable tourism sectors will continue to play an important role in the rural economy. Hereford and the market towns will be thriving centres and popular places to live, work and visit. Hereford will be recognised as a centre for education as well as a place where innovative businesses can invest and thrive.
