Following the completion of our UK wide study into the delivery of Strategic Urban Extensions, Hourigan Connolly were tasked with undertaking a review of sites identified as Strategic Locations for housing in Herefordshire Council’s Core Strategy.
We assessed whether the proposed Strategic Locations would deliver housing within the timescales and at the rates envisaged by the Council.
Through our written and oral submissions to the Examination in Public we put forward a case that there was an over-reliance on such sites in the early years of the Plan and that consequently upon adoption the Plan would not have a 5 year supply of deliverable dwellings and hence would be unsound.
