Bodenham Parish Council
Planning applications
Two planning applications were considered at the January meeting of the Parish Council.
The applications were:
– 184426 – Land to the west of The Hawthorns, South of Green Acres, Badgers and Eastfields Farm: New detached 3-bedroom house and attached garage, including change of use of agricultural land to residential.
– 182236: Bodenham Lake Nature Reserve: Proposed re-profiling works to include: Southern land spit at the eastern end of the lake to be lowered and divided into three islands. Small island close to bird hide on the southern side of the lake will be cleared of trees, lowered and divided into three smaller islands. The southern half of the western island will be re-profiled and the material used to create a second small adjacent island.
The Parish Council made no objection to either application.
Litter Pick
An early reminder: the next litter picks will be held on Saturdays 23rd March and 2nd November.
Herefordshire Community Champions Awards
Do you know someone in Bodenham who could be nominated for one of the Herefordshire Community Champions Awards? The categories are Volunteer, Caring, Environment and Youth. For more information and to make a nomination visit the Herefordshire or Bodenham Parish Council websites, contact the Parish Clerk, or look at the noticeboards in Bodenham.
Notice about Notices
A polite request: if you put a notice on one the noticeboards, please take it down after the event (or whatever) it refers to.
Parking
A reminder: rather than putting yourself and others at risk by parking on the road outside the post office or hairdressers, make use of Bache’s kind offer to allow parking inside their entrance.
