  • East Herts District Plan
    East Herts District Plan Strategic March 2017 Land Availability Assessment 1.0 Introduction 1.1 National planning policy requires all Local Planning Authorities to produce a technical study known as the Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) in order to identify sites with potential for future development. The SLAA has informed work on the District Plan and Neighbourhood Planning. It has also assisted with the identification of future land supply. 1.2 The SLAA is a ‘live’ document in that it should be updated on a regular basis in order to reflect changing circumstances. Therefore, this version of the SLAA presents the most up to date position as at March 2017. 2.0 Methodology 2.1 Paragraphs 019 to 021 of the PPG identify that, when undertaking a SLAA, sites should be considered against three criteria, namely; suitability, availability and achievability. These terms are explained below. Suitability The assessment of suitability takes into account a range of policy constraints. These include environmental and heritage designations, impact on landscape and character, flooding and Green Belt / Rural Area Beyond the Green Belt. Availability A site is considered to be available if there are no legal or ownership issues which would prevent the site coming forward for development. Achievability Achievability is effectively a judgement about the economic viability of a site, and the capacity of the developer to complete the development over a certain period of time. 2.2 Having assessed each site against the three criteria, a conclusion can be reached. If a site is considered to be suitable, available and achievable, then it is regarded as being ‘deliverable’.

  • Circular Walks – Number 136 Westmill and Aspenden - 5.2 Miles (8 Kms)
    The Hundred Parishes Circular Walks – number 136 Westmill and Aspenden - 5.2 miles (8 kms) This walk is a mixture of countryside and an exploration of two attractive Hertfordshire villages. It is moderately hilly, mainly on quiet lanes and good paths. There are no stiles. Westmill has a pub and a tea room and there is a pub in Aspenden. Start and finish: The walk starts and finishes from Westmill Church where there is room for several cars to park in the road beside the wall of the cemetery. Ordnance Survey Grid Reference: TL370272 - Postcode: SG9 9LJ. The route can be followed on Ordnance Survey Explorer Map 194. A diagram of the route is provided at the end of the description. Before getting boots wet or muddy, you might like to visit Westmill’s parish church, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin. It dates from the 12th century with substantial additions in the 15th and much rebuilding work in 1876. One of the church’s six bells is exceptionally ancient, dating from 1350 AD. From the churchyard, return to the road and when safe cross to the “pavement” on the far side and turn right. On the left we pass an attractive series of cottages whose origins range from the 16th century to the 18th. Most are listed buildings. On the right, the unusually-named pub, The Sword in Hand, dates from the 16th century. It was once a house but has been an inn for over 200 years. Its name comes from the coat of arms of the Greg family who lived at Coles Park in the south of Westmill parish.

  • The Impact of Agricultural Depression and Land
    THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND LAND OWNERSHIP CHANGE ON THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE, c.1870-1914 Julie Patricia Moore Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD September 2010 2 ABSTRACT The focus of this research has been on how the county of Hertfordshire negotiated the economic, social and political changes of the late nineteenth century. A rural county sitting within just twenty miles of the nation’s capital, Hertfordshire experienced agricultural depression and a falling rural population, whilst at the same time seeing the arrival of growing numbers of wealthy, professional people whose economic focus was on London but who sought their own little patch of the rural experience. The question of just what constituted that rural experience was played out in the local newspapers and these give a valuable insight into how the farmers of the county sought to establish their own claim to be at the heart of the rural, in the face of an alternative interpretation which was grounded in urban assumptions of the social value of the countryside as the stable heart of the nation. The widening of the franchise, increased levels of food imports and fears over the depopulation of the villages reduced the influence of farmers in directing the debate over the future of the countryside. This study is unusual in that it builds a comprehensive picture of how agricultural depression was experienced in one farming community, before considering how farmers’ attempts to claim ownership of the ‘special’ place of the rural were unsuccessful economically, socially and politically.
