Revised Preferred Options Consultation Stage

As a result of the consultation exercises undertaken in 2010 and having taken account of new evidence, a revised preferred option has now been published. We consulted on these revised proposals in October - November 2011.

In summary the changes are:

• To amend the plan period to cover the period 2011-2031
• To reduce the level of housing provision in the county to an average of 825 per annum (compared to 900 per annum as previously proposed)
• To propose fewer new houses for Hereford
• To make some adjustments to the housing proposals for Leominster and Ross-on-Wye
• To increase the level of housing in rural areas

The resources box below contains the leaflet and background paper, which set out the changes in more detail.

The responses to the Revised Preferred Option consultation can also be found in the resources box below. Some of the documents have a very large file size so may take a short while to download.
