Our planning application was due to be discussed at the Planning and Regulatory Committee on Wednesday 17th January 2018. It was with great disappointment that we have received an email from Herefordshire Planning Department saying that they would be recommending refusal of our application at that meeting. For this reason we have decided to withdraw our application.
Although there are obviously those who did not support this project from the outset, we have received a majority of fantastic support from across the three villages of Cradley, Storridge and Mathon.
Our aim was always to create a long-term community nucleus in the centre of the village. We are hopeful that in the future a project with similar positive aims could succeed.
Thank you enormously to everyone who has lent their expertise and enthusiasm. One day, we hope that our community will be able to call on you, if and when the time is right.

Welcome to our ‘Heart of the Village’ project.
We plan to create a centrally-located space to serve as a social and cultural heart for the Herefordshire villages of Cradley, Mathon and Storridge. We want a new Heart that meets the needs of local people, nurtures community spirit, celebrates our area's natural beauty and provides economic stimulus.
This is an exciting and challenging project. We have done a considerable amount of consultation, planning and design work and we will do all we can to keep our local community informed of the project's progress.
Please do visit this website regularly to keep up with the news. To become involved, or to ask questions, contact one of the Heart Team.
