•include revised progress on other development plan documents and Supplementary Planning Documents;
•Inclusion of Herefordshire Design Codes and
•The progress made on Neighbourhood Development Plans in the county.
The revised scheme includes the detail of the proposed target dates for preparation of the following development plan documents:
•Herefordshire Local Plan Part 1- target adoption date mid 2025
•Herefordshire Local Plan Part 2 – target adoption date early 2026
