Dormington and Mordiford Parish Council

Neighbourhood Development Plan

Call for Sites

Dormington and Mordiford Group Parish Council is preparing a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for the Parish.  As part of this process, the Parish Council is undertaking a Call for Sites.

Without Prejudice, we would like to invite local landowners, developers and their agents to submit potential housing sites in the neighbourhood / group parish area for consideration. Proposed properties must be within the defined Parish Area Boundaries (the boundary map can be found on our website and on the Call for Sites form).

The Parish Council welcomes submissions for both market housing and affordable housing schemes, including possible ‘exception’ sites suitable for affordable housing.

The adopted Herefordshire Local Plan Core Strategy 2011 – 2031 identifies Mordiford, Dormington and Priors Frome as settlements suitable for housing growth and the minimum housing target for the Parish is currently 21 houses up to 2031. However Herefordshire Council has started work on a new Local Plan up to 2041 and there is some uncertainty about the future spatial distribution of growth across the County, and therefore how many houses the NDP will have to plan for over the longer term, and where this growth may be focussed.  The NDP will be informed by the most up to date information about the Local Plan at all stages.

All submitted sites will be subjected to a technical site assessment process by consultants AECOM as part of the Locality Technical Support Programme for NDPs.  Sites considered suitable following the technical assessment will be published for informal public consultation, and then considered for possible inclusion in the Draft NDP as proposed housing site allocations, subject to the new Herefordshire Council Local Plan.

Once the technical assessment and responses have been considered, some sites will not be suitable or necessary, so by submitting a site, landowners should note that there is no presumption of planning consent for future development.

Please complete the Site Submission Form which is available from the links below or on request from the Clerk to the Parish Council Clerk@dormingtonmordifordgroup-pc.gov.uk 17 Wheatridge Road, Belmont, Hereford HR2 7UL,  MOBILE 07940391150

You will also need to provide a legible site location plan (preferably using an OS base) identifying the site boundary in red.

Please submit the form and a legible map of the site by 7th June, 2022 to:

The Clerk, 17 Wheatridge Road, Belmont, Hereford HR2 7UL or by email to: Clerk@dormingtonandmordifordgroup-pc.gov.uk
