A FORMATTED VERSION WITH THE SAME CONTENT WILL BE PUBLISHED SHORTLY. Draft Revised Hertsmere Core Strategy 3 Foreword Hertsmere Borough Council aims to produce a Local Development Framework (LDF), which is not only distinctive to the Borough, but also provides an effective response to local issues and priorities. A key part of that process is the preparation of the Core Strategy, which will set the parameters for development in the Borough until 2026 and beyond. In February 2006, Hertsmere Borough Council published an LDF 'Issues and Options' report which set out a range of options for how the Borough could develop over the next 15 years. The Council subsequently published a set of Core Strategy preferred options in December 2007 and the priorities identified during the associated consultation have informed and guided the preparation of this document. The Core Strategy was submitted to the Secretary of State in 2008 but this was later withdrawn by the Council to ensure that document was compliant with revised government guidance. This revised Core Strategy takes account of previous consultations,

  • The Conservative Party & Perceptions of the Middle
    THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY & PERCEPTIONS OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES TITLE: THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE BRITISH MIDDLE CLASSES, 1951 - 1974 By LEANNA FONG, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Leanna Fong, August 2016 Ph.D. Thesis – Leanna Fong McMaster University - Department of History Descriptive Note McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2016) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: The Conservative Party and Perceptions of the British Middle Classes, 1951 - 1974 AUTHOR: Leanna Fong, B.A., M.A (York University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Stephen Heathorn PAGES: vi, 307 ii Ph.D. Thesis – Leanna Fong McMaster University - Department of History Abstract “The Conservative Party and Perceptions of the British Middle Classes, 1951 – 1974,” explores conceptions of middle-class voters at various levels of the party organization after the Second World War. Since Benjamin Disraeli, Conservatives have endeavoured to represent national rather than sectional interests and appeal widely to a growing electorate. Yet, the middle classes and their interests have also enjoyed a special position in the Conservative political imagination often because the group insists they receive special consideration. It proved especially difficult to juggle these priorities after 1951 when Conservatives encountered two colliding challenges: the middle classes growing at a rapid rate, failing to form a unified outlook or identity, and the limited appeal of consumer rhetoric and interests owing to the uneven experience of affluence and prosperity. Conservative ideas and policies failed to acknowledge and resonate with the changing nature of their core supporters and antiquated local party organization reinforced feelings of alienation from and mistrust of new members of the middle classes as well as affluent workers.

  • Summary of Documents About 29 Breakspear Road Abbots
    SUMMARY OF DOCUMENTS ABOUT 29 BREAKSPEAR ROAD ABBOTS LANGLEY Introduction This document summarises the documents given to the Society in 2020 relating to the transfer of ownership of the land and later the house at 29 Breakspeare Road, Abbots Langley. This record covers from 1797 to 1985. Scans of the original documents listed here are available, their names start with day, month and year e.g. 24081872. In this document I have tried to capture the important names, dates etc so that the reader can understand the timeline of each individual document and what role it plays. The document is also searchable so, by including names of people and places I hope it will help people find the appropriate documents whilst undertaking their research. The documents use old English legal terms, abbreviations and have amendments in pencil. The text in this document is my best view of what each documents says. To avoid repetition, I have only written out sections when they first occur and said “See above” in the subsequent texts where they have been repeated. Trevor Foulkes 30/6/20 amended on 10/10/20 1. 1867: Abstract of the Title of The British Land Company Limited to Freehold Land situate at Abbots Langley in the Country of Herts 1.1 Abstract of the Title of The British Land Company Limited to Freehold Land in Abbots Langley in the County of Hertford Manor of List of land and property held by John Smith of AL, Maltster as a tenant: Abbots Two parcels of pasture at Kitters Green (3 acres), estate of William Young Langley The above with barn, garden orchard

  • The Second World War 1939-45
    CHAPTER 3 THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-45 MAP MODIFIED FROM ATLAS OF WARFARE: NATKIEL & PIMLOTT In the First World War, the aeroplane was in its infancy and, for all the strides made in development, it remained an ancillary of land and sea operations. The Second World War, however, brought air power to its maturity; the aeroplane became a decisive weapon and the outcome of both land and sea battles depended upon air superiority. 91 THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-45 Between 1939-45 the RAF was in the forefront of the exercise of air power; it prevented an invasion of Britain; it supported British Armies in North Africa, Italy, NW Europe and the Far East; it fought continuously over the seas around Britain, over the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean and over the Indian Ocean; and it played a major role (together with the US Army Air Force) in the strategic bombing offensive against Germany. Of the major air forces of the Second World War, the German, Italian, Japanese and Russian were organized and equipped primarily to support their respective armies on the ground; only the RAF and US Army Air Force had well-developed plans for the independent use of air power in maritime and strategic bombing offensive roles. THE LUFTWAFFE From the first to the last day of the war in Europe, the major opponent of the RAF was the German Luftwaffe. Since the RAF and the Luftwaffe were locked in combat for so long, it is worth looking briefly at their plans for an air war at the start of the Second World War.

  • Nationallylistedbuildings Final 2014
    Nationally Listed Buildings in Watford Updated 2014 1.0 Introduction 1.1 A 'Listed Building' is a building, object or structure that has been judged to be of national historical or architectural interest. It is included on a register called the "List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest," drawn up by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. At a national level English Heritage (EH) administers the listing system on behalf of the Secretary of State. 1.2 Nationally Listed Buildings are subject to national and local policies. These are set out in: • National Planning Policy Framework (2012); • Watford District Plan 2000 (2003)*; • Watford Local Plan: Part 1: Core Strategy (2013)*; • Watford Local Plan: Part 2: Development Management Polices (draft)*. *(The Watford Local Plan replaces the Watford District Plan.) 1.3 Nationally Listed Buildings are located throughout Watford, with a concentration along The Parade and High Street. Some of the buildings are situated within Conservation Areas and are subject to the relevant planning policies concerning Conservation Areas, as well as the specific polices relating to Listed Buildings. The contents of the List of Buildings of National Interest are also included on the Historic Environment Record maintained by Hertfordshire County Council. While this does not additionally increase the level of protection afforded to the buildings, it does reinforce and aid the recognition of their contribution to the wider historic environment. 2.0 The Listing Process 2.1 The first buildings to be Nationally Listed in Watford were designated in 1952, with the most recent addition occurring in 2008.

  • A History of Bentley Priory Open Space
    Some Notes on the History of Bentley Priory Open Space When the Bentley Priory estate was broken up in 1926, Middlesex County Council bought 90 acres of the site for use as public open space. The land was subsequently transferred to the GLC and then, in 1968, it came into the ownership of the London Borough of Harrow. The Harrow Natural History Society (HNHS) was formed in 1970 and the following year its members began to survey the area and record the flora and fauna. In 1973 they designed a nature trail to guide visitors around the site, at that time known as Bentley Priory Common or Park, which did not include Summerhouse Lake. The first journal of the HNHS, produced in 1973, contained a map and description of the nature trail. There was also an account of the flora of the common and the first of two articles by Alan Tinsey, describing the results of his survey of Boot Pond. Alan’s second article, and an updated description of the nature trail, appeared in the 1974 journal. A list of the birds that had been recorded in Harrow included observations made on Bentley Priory Common and on Summerhouse Lake. By 1973 plans were afoot to have the area around Summerhouse Lake declared a Nature Reserve. These finally came to fruition in 1975 and an article in the HNHS society journal of 1976 describes how this happened. Here are some extracts from this article. There had been much controversy concerning the fate of the lake. The lake was just a lake as far as the maps were concerned and it did not possess an official name.

  • Harrow Council on the Proposed Warding Arrangements As Part of the Current Phase of Your Electoral Review of the Borough
    Legal & Governance Services Director – Hugh Peart Andrew Scallan Lead Commissioner The Local Government Boundary Commission For England 14th Floor Millbank Tower Millbank London SW1P 4QP 8 October 2018 Dear Mr Scallan, Electoral Review of London Borough of Harrow Please find enclosed the submission from Harrow Council on the proposed warding arrangements as part of the current phase of your electoral review of the Borough. It consists of a narrative report, a Borough map with our proposed ward boundaries and a spreadsheet which includes the electorate forecast figures for each proposed ward. This submission was approved at a meeting of the Council’s Licensing and General Purposes Committee held on 4 October 2018; the Committee has delegated authority to determine matters related to electoral arrangements in the Borough. As required by the procedures established by the Commission, the submission is based on the Council size of 55 councillors, the figure the Commission agreed it was “minded to” recommend. However, at the meeting, certain Members expressed their concerns at the proposed reduction in the number of councillors and, in particular, its implications for the democratic representation of local residents in the future. The Committee resolved to request the Commission to reconsider its view on the appropriate Council size and agree to retain the current number of 63 councillors for Harrow Borough. Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely, Elaine McEachron Democratic Electoral & Registration Services Manager Tel: Email: address Democratic Services, Harrow Council, Civic Centre PO Box 2, Station Road, Harrow, HA1 2UH web fax www.harrow.gov.uk 020 8424 1557 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Warding Pattern Submission for Harrow October 2018 2 Contents Introduction ........................................................................................................................

  • Fast Facts 2017
    June 2017 Fast Facts 2017 The data produced is from sources believed to be reliable, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding accuracy of any information. No liability can be accepted by the Council arising out of its use. If you find any errors, please report them to the Communications team. June 2017 Rickmansworth Urban District Council (UDC) (which included Croxley Green), Chorleywood UDC, and Watford Rural UDC (which included Abbotts Langley, Sarratt, South Oxhey and Carpenders Park) did not want to go together, but had no choice. No area wanted to have the name of another part of the new district so a public competition was held and Three Rivers District Council (TRDC) was born. The Grand Union Canal passes to the south of Rickmansworth. Here it merges with the Rivers Chess, Colne and Gade. After Rickmansworth, the canal follows the valley of the River Gade, a tributary of the River Colne, passing the site of Croxley paper mill. Most of TRDC residents are high-earning families, affluent married couples whose successful careers have afforded them financial security and a spacious home in a prestigious and established residential area. While some are mature empty-nesters or elderly retired couples, others are still supporting their teenage or older children. TRDC is an area which has one of the lowest rates of hate crime, robberies, domestic abuse and violence against another person. It also has low criminal damage, vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour. It has a mixture of business and industry. The main employment areas are at Croxley Business Park, Tolpits Lane, Kings Langley, Maple Cross, Rickmansworth and Leavesden.
