History of CPRE Herefordshire
CPRE Herefordshire branch was
founded in 1933. It is run by volunteers
who are dedicated to protecting this most rural of English counties
from being spoiled by inappropriate development. 
We value the peace and tranquillity Herefordshire retains
but are all too aware of how easily this can be eroded away, as it has
in many other parts of England.
We promote positive solutions for the long-term future of the countryside
and seek to protect and enhance its valued natural and built environment.
In a poll members cited an increase in house building and traffic as the
two most significant and least liked changes they had witnessed in Herefordshire
in the last 10 years.
CPRE campaigns continuously on planning
and transport issues, locally, countywide,
regionally and nationally.
Volunteers work with other groups to improve architectural design and
building techniques to ensure Herefordshire’s villages retain their
reputation for vernacular beauty.
CPRE Herefordshire works with other
local organisations to prevent development which is inappropriate.
We have campaigned vigorously against the proposed route for the Rotherwas
Access Road and against the proposed wind farm on Vagar Hill in the
Golden Valley.
We submitted a detailed response the UDP [Unitary Development Plan] in
which we highlighted the need for the Council to have sustainable development
at the core of the Plan. We have also made representation regarding the
Local Development Framework (LDF), which replaces the UDP.
These are just a few of the issues
CPRE Herefordshire are concerned about. Please take some time to explore
our website and find out what else we do. Members,
supporters and volunteers are always needed
and are most welcome.
