It describes the steps to be taken to meet emerging demands and the issues that remain for the Constabulary to understand. Alongside our existing change work, this has provided a rich picture of the Constabulary, its abilities to cope with the demands faced, the gaps and the readiness to address future challenges. It will act as a strategic planning document and an enabler for a more thorough internal inspection regime during the year ahead. In recent years the Constabulary has shifted resources to better meet existing and projected demand. The Constabulary has used evidence based demand analysis to shape services so that they better address the source of demand and more effectively prioritise the resourcing internally and with partner agencies. The county will continue to see significant population growth, with each of Hertfordshire’s ten districts predicting growth of at least 2000 homes over the next ten years, whilst East Hertfordshire expects the development at Gilston to add around 10,500 homes. The under 25 population in particular, a useful proxy for police demand, is predicted to expand as rapidly as any area outside of London. The county’s diversity also continues to increase. The growing population, trends towards greater population density and a younger and more diverse demographic can be expected to increase demand for policing services and requires planning for. Demand for Policing Services Emergency calls have continued to increase, however non-emergency

  • Character of Area Study
    Watford Character of Area Study Adopted December 2011 0B1.0 Introduction The Borough of Watford is a well established urban centre in West Hertfordshire that contains a diverse patchwork of areas reflecting different types of built form. These character areas provide the spatial framework for local neighbourhoods and reflect the multifunctional nature of the town as a location for employment, leisure, study and residential provision. Although these areas provide a network of urban form, rich in “place identity”, they remain at risk of degradation from the pressures of new development. There is therefore a need to identify the Borough’s existing character areas and to provide a reference for guiding contextually responsive development that reinforces local character. 2.0 Urban Conservation Strategy 2.1 The need for a comprehensive study identifying character areas within the Borough was set out in the Council’s Urban Conservation Strategy, as detailed in the Watford District Plan 2000 (adopted 2003). The Urban Conservation Strategy sets out to deliver a package of different documents covering the various heritage assets within the town, including: conservation areas, Statutory Listed Buildings, Locally Listed Buildings and archaeology. The Character of the Area Study provides an overarching resource on urban form for the whole Borough and not just areas or buildings that are designated as heritage assets and referred to in the District Plan and the Urban Conservation Strategy. 2.2 The Watford District Plan 2000 and the related Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 28 (adopted 2003) includes information on Historic Environment Character Zones in Watford. This map based resource provides general information on the historical character zones that exist within the Borough and their archaeological potential.

Croxley Green has many committed and active community groups which support the environment, sport and leisure and the Residents’ Association is a major sponsor of many local initiatives, including the joint community plan which is being written. The community is a cohesive unit for local government and therefore should have representation at county level to reflect local issues.
