The Dinedor Hill Group won their case against Herefordshire
Council that was heard in the High Court on June 26th and
June 27th 2008. Bloor Homes as an interested party were
refused leave to appeal on November 8th 2008 and withdrew
from their last chance for an appeal on March 9 2009. The
case concerned giving planning permission for 300 houses at
Bullinghope, south of Hereford City. The planning site lay
outside the city boundary at the foot of Dinedor Hill, an
Area of Great Landscape Beauty. The High Court Judge's
ruling upheld the Unitary Development Plan Inspector's
decision that Bullinghope was "totally unsuitable" for
housing.
Following the final withdrawal of Bloor the Dinedor Hill
Action Association returned the money to people who had
donated to the cause, and dissolved the Limited Company.
The association has reformed as the Dinedor Hill Action
Group, whose purpose is to contribute to good planning
decisions for the area around Dinedor Hill.
