Matters for Report

4.1	Village Warden Scheme
	In C Cllr Powell’s email it was noted that: Herefordshire annually spend £97,000, and in the period between January and August 2011 there were 2455 visits to clients and 1500 telephone calls. Red Cross have still not submitted impact assessment to Herefordshire Council Adult Social Care He has made contact with Sue Williams (our local agent) to try and understand the local impact He is arranging to meet the Golden Valley locality team in order that he can understand the gap that exists between the services they do, or will, provide and the needs of the community. Village Warden Scheme will be discussed by Cabinet Members on 27th October HC Adult Social Service are finalising their "preventative model” and this should be ready for discussion in late October.
4.2	LDF Consultation
	Cllr McNeil provided feedback from the meeting held on 24th October Housing need across Herefordshire over the next 20 years has been identified at 16,500, with 5,300 in rural areas. Development within Ewyas Harold is seen as requiring 4 units per year over the same period (similar rate as at present) Development Plan needs to be created by GPC (could use Parish Plan as source). Suggest draft as soon as possible so that work towards the final plan can proceed without delay Utility provision would need to be incorporated into such a plan. Providers are already geared up to be responsive to this need. Consultation ends on 28th Nov and guidance pamphlets have been ordered for distribution to local shops.

Public Forum

Mr John Hook again raised concerns (previously reported in October) over the poor state of repair of the footpath stile at the far end of Priorsfield. This will be discussed with the Footpaths Officer.

It was confirmed that Gwent police are immediately informed of suspicious vehicles travelling over the border.
Councillors emphasised the importance of residents being reminded of the need to make properties safe.

The 3venues other than the pavilion (MH, Horsecroft and St Michael's Hall) have all indicated their willingness to provide space at cost only.
Appears to be favourable support from village.
Questionnaire to be sent out later this month, for return by mid December, to gather information on preferred location, opening times, hands on support etc.
Ideally aiming for 3openings per week (morning, afternoon and evening)

School Lane Parking

Following several communications with regards to parking concerns in and around the School, the following actions have been taken and feedback obtained:

Report from Herefordshire Council indicates that the cost for providing an extra 15 places within the School would be £54k. A breakdown of these costs has been requested. There was a discussion as to whether this could be undertaken as a community project. C Cllr Powell advised that the GPC wait for further feedback from HC.
Keys to the Recreation Ground car park have been issued to the School.
It has been confirmed that there are no restrictions to parking at the Memorial Hall.

Pontrilas Builders Merchants

Development concerns raised with the Planning Officer have generated the following responses from the Senior Area Engineer (Development Control):

Junction Movements - Along the A465 approaching from Hereford there is 130m forward visibility, there is more but this is reliant on tree and leaf growth, there is 140m in the opposite direction, whilst the visibility is limited this isn't too much of a worry given the speeds of other vehicles and the stopping distances.
Give way lines are now in place.
Stopping Sight Distance up Rowlestone Lane are not as per drawing but the 2.4m x distance by 100m y distance is more than acceptable.
On site the footpath cycle link into the site isn't acceptable as it stands and needs to be altered - Andrew Prior to chase up.

Appendix 1

Interim Report to Ewyas Harold Group Parish Council from the Parish Plan and Design Statement Committee

The Committee has received the Ewyas Harold GPC Parish Plan and Design Statement Questionnaire Report from the Research Department of Herefordshire Council and it has been circulated to all GPC Councillors. A meeting of the Steering Group was held on 13th October to start the study of the Report. Further meetings are ongoing and public meetings will be held.

The full Report runs to 83 pages and its length precludes it being fully discussed at the monthly GPC meeting, or indeed at any single meeting.

Residents of the parishes of Ewyas Harold, Llancillo, Rowlestone and Dulas were asked to respond to 54 questions. Results were analysed on the basis of the residency of the respondent. Whilst some results showed divided opinion in the community, other results were very clear, with an overwhelming majority of the respondents voting either for or against an issue.

We suggest that:

Those results which present with more than 68% of votes in favour, with no substantial disagreement, can be confidently regarded as reflecting the views of the majority of residents.
Those issues where the vote shows evenly divided opinion in the community should be further investigated before the Parish Plan and Design Statement is drafted. Public meetings will need to be held to find out where development would be acceptable. If the GPC was so minded, this information could then feed into a Neighbourhood Plan.
Some responses indicate problems at particular geographical places in the Parishes. These should be studied by the GPC immediately because they indicate need, although they have not necessarily attracted a big vote.

Issues that attracted a vote of more than 68% of votes and reflect majority opinion.

Question 1: 80% of respondents from Ewyas Harold felt some growth was necessary over the next 12 years to meet the needs of present and future generations. Opinion was divided about the exact number of homes required. Residents from the parishes of Dulas, Rowlestone and Llancillo reflected the view that little new development was required there.

Q2: When considering the impact of new development, over 70% of residents were most concerned about sewage facilities, water provision, green-field sites, and school facilities.

Q5: What kind of additional residential housing should it be? 82% voted for affordable homes for local people to purchase or rent. 79% voted for small or medium sized family homes and 79% voted for realistically priced starter homes.

Q7: What makes Ewyas Harold special? 80% responded “Ewyas Harold Common”. 79% voted “peace and quiet” and 74% voted for “green spaces”.

Q9: What is the preferred design of possible new housing? 85% voted for traditional design.

Q10: 94% of respondents thought all new housing should have off-road parking.

Q11. Should the GPC encourage affordable housing to meet local needs? 68% were in favour, whilst only 20% were against.

Q12: 88% of respondents agreed that redundant buildings should be converted for local families to live in, and 70% thought they should be used for workshops and small business units.

2: Those issues where the vote shows divided opinion in the community

Q1: What level of growth over the next 12 years do you think is required to meet the needs of present and future generations? 27% voted for between 11 and 20 homes, 20% voted for 6-10 homes, and 20% voted for 21-50 homes.

Q4: Should housing development to meet local needs be inside the Settlement Boundary, at the edge of the village, or outside the Settlement Boundary? Results were inconclusive. Residents will need another public meeting to consider the exact location of the Settlement Boundary, and where potential building sites (which have already been identified by Herefordshire Council) exist within the settlement boundary. There is a strong demand to protect green spaces in the village, but an equally strong demand to respect green-field sites. At the same time 80% of respondents agree there is local housing need.

3: Issues that do not fall into either category but indicate problems at particular geographical places in the Parishes

Q18: Road safety is perceived as a problem at all the locations listed, and the percentages may only reflect the respondent’s address.

Q48 41% thought more salt bins required. Specific sites are listed.

Comments

1	Increase to cover Audit fees following Memorial Hall grant will not be repeated this year
2	Have allowed for 10% increase in premium
3	With changes to format and frequency not easy to predict costs and income. Suggest maintain existing budget
4	Assuming some spend this year suggest maintaining budget at £200
5	Savings made in 09/10 have been maintained and improved therefore reduce precept to £350
6	Maintain existing budget
7	Sufficient funds held in reserve
8	Maintain existing budget
9	Carry forward £30 from 11/12 as regularly unspent
10	Maintain existing budget
11	Difficult to predict number of cuts. Suggest inflationary rise
12	Maintain existing budget
13	Usage has doubled during first 6 months. Bulk of increase can be met through recharge but extra funds required to cover standing charges.
14	Maintain existing budget. Any cost increase in 2012/13 (new heating system) will need to be met through letting charges
15	Maintain existing budget
16	Original budget set at £500 but now includes annual provision for repainting Pavilion (£320) and honorarium for gate locking (£400).
17	Maintain existing budget
18	Maintain existing budget
19	Maintain existing budget
20	Maintain existing budget
21	£3,600 carried forward for one-off sum for youth facilities. Would suggest freeze on normal £100 addition.
22	Maintain existing budget
23	Sufficient funds held in budget reserve
24	Options still to be considered. Have £1,400 carry over from proposed footpath. Barrier funds were absorbed into 11/12 budget to reduce precept
25	Extra expenses in 10/11 due to repainting village ironwork (£508) and twinning expenses (£523). Extra funds were identified to supplement the Parish Plan and Church wall repairs in 11/12 therefore suggest revert to lower figure.
