Your ref: PL\0866\17 24 January 2018 Dear Sir, Re: Proposed new 6FE school buildings and associated development at Land to the north of Lower Luton Road, Harpenden, Herts. ref: PL\0866\17. Further to our letter of 16 November 2017 and subsequent additional representations in December 2017 and January 2018, we wrote to you identifying: We are a residents group, representing over 1,000 local residents - details provided in our letter of 16 November 2017. We strongly object to the proposals. That the Planning Application included a substantial number of documents, which on review revealed a significant number of errors and omissions. A need for mitigation on response times to allow proper consideration of matters arising from errors and omissions. Significant new material was added close to the submission date (between 7 -13 November 2017), for which we considered there was insufficient review time Our intention to continue our analysis of the material and to make a further submission(s) We have no option but to apply a high level of assumption to our review, and that will be noted on our comments. We had identified further material that we were continuing to assess and about which we feel obliged to make significant assumptions due to lack of published information. We are adding to that series of representations with this representation. We would however draw your attention to the outstanding 1 matters which have been advised some time ago and which remain unanswered.

In fact SADC Planning made the following statement: Hertfordshire County Council as the decision maker should satisfy themselves that the case for very special circumstances overcomes the in principle and any actual harm, namely:- ▪ The site has been identified as containing matters of potentially nationally significant archaeological interests. Whilst the majority of the site has areas of archaeological interest that can be dealt with by condition there is a section of the site which contains burials which may be of national significance and a suitable methodology for protecting these remains needs to be established, either through protecting the remains by burying them, or excavating the site prior to granting permission. ▪ The applicant has not used appropriate methodology to demonstrate that the impact upon the ecology of the site is acceptable, and further information should be sought in this respect. ▪ Consideration as to whether all of the sports facilities are essential to the provision of the school and whether a portion of the site could be retained for agricultural purposes thereby minimising the amount of land that is lost from agricultural purposes. ▪ To assess whether the proposed technical details of the access are acceptable and will result in a safe and functional highway network.

AMR 005 Authority's Monitoring Report 2015
AUTHORITY’S MONITORING REPORT April 2014 to March 2015 Monitoring the ‘saved’ policies in the St Albans District Local Plan Review (November 1994) December 2015 (Base Date 31.3.15) CONTENTS Executive Summary 1 Background to the Authority’s Monitoring Report 2 Local Context and Contextual Indicators 3 Progress in Relation to the Key Milestones in the Local Development Scheme (including Duty to Co Operate Initiatives and Neighbourhood Plan Progress) 4 Analysis of Adopted Local Plan Policies – Their Usage and Effectiveness 5 Core Output Indicators Appendices: 1 District Plan Review Policies: Success and Failure Data 2 Information Underpinning the Housing Trajectory EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 It should be remembered when reading this document that the planning information and approach set out in this Authority’s Monitoring Report (AMR) follows the usual convention of reflecting the situation as of 31 March 2015 and generally does not include subsequent information (available before the date of publication in December 2015). 2 Although the Localism Act removed the requirement for local authorities to submit an Annual Monitoring Report to Government (Secretary of State), the production of a report is still statutorily required. The title is changed to Authority’s (rather than ‘Annual’) Monitoring Report. 3 At present, the adopted Local Plan for St Albans City and District (SACD) is the District Local Plan Review (November 1994). Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 the policies in the adopted Local Plan were automatically ‘saved’ for three years and subsequently the Government agreed to some policies being saved for longer; effectively until they are replaced by a new Plan.
