Regarding the “Independent Consultant” being used for the Walford NDP, Mr. W.Bloxsome, can you furnish me with details of his qualifications and does he have any links with Hereford Council or Data Orchard, as I understand he is, or should be, an independent consultant.
I understand the comments made by several members of the NDP Committee regarding Mr Bloxsome’s track record ‘with some 30 NDPs to his credit’, but that does NOT make him suitable, they may have been 30+ NDP’s with bad results for the Parishioners concerned!!
The consultant is a Chartered Town Planner and is registered with the RTPI. He has worked for a number of Local Authorities before setting up in private practice in 2012.
WPC has good references from our neighbouring parishes of Goodrich & Welsh Bicknor and Whitchurch & Ganarew.

Can we see these “Good References”?
The Chair of Goodrich NDP group confirmed their view that Bill Bloxsome had been helpful in moving things along, not least with HCC and had definitely not contributed to delays. Indeed,
his contribution seems to have been particularly important for preparing and expediting the pre and post Article 14 submissions.
The Chair of Whitchurch NDP group was full of praise for Data Orchard and, regarding Bill Bloxsome, and mentioned how useful Bill had been at resolving potential hold-ups and delays.
Virtually all the delays they experienced had come from HCC and Bill’s experience there had apparently helped considerably in resolving issues quickly and straightforwardly.
