Herefordshire Council's Core Strategy requires parishes with villages to accommodate some new housing over the next 15 years. A local Steering Group comprising a number of Parish Councillors and members from the communities has prepared a Draft Plan which proposes ways in which this requirement could be met.

Without a plan prepared by community representatives we would have to rely upon either:
- Developers putting forward their own proposals to meet and potentially exceed the Core Strategy targets; or
- Wait until Herefordshire Council prepares a plan for the villages where development is required.

The Steering Group has tried to plan positively for development required to meet local, county and national needs as required by the neighbourhood planning regulations and to address a number of issues raised within the two Parishes.
