  • Nickey Line Greenspace Action Plan 2019 – 2024
    NICKEY LINE GREENSPACE ACTION PLAN 2019 – 2024 Produced by: On behalf of: OVERVIEW Greenspace Action Plans Greenspace Actions Plans (GAPs) are map-based management plans which specify activities that should take place on a site over a stated period of time; these activities will help to deliver the agreed aspirations which the site managers and stakeholders have identified for that site. Public Engagement Engagement with stakeholders is at the centre of effective management planning on any site. An initial engagement period was held for five weeks in December 2017 and January 2018, to establish core aims and objectives for the site; these are reflected in Section 3. This plan has been produced for a second stage of engagement to enable stakeholders to comment on the proposed management actions for the site. Coordination with St Albans City & District Council As the Nickey Line leaves from Hemel Hempstead towards Redbourn, it crosses into the St Albans District Council (SADC) administrative area. A GAP is already in place for the St Albans section. The programme of works for the Dacorum section has been produced to complement the programme in the St Albans section. A coordinated approach will be taken wherever practical to deliver projects jointly to ensure continuity across the administrative boundary.

  • Chilterns Cycleway Off-Road Sections; Alternative Road Routes (Last Updated 3Rd May 2013)
    Chilterns Cycleway off-road sections; alternative road routes (last updated 3rd May 2013) 1) The main off-road section is from Pirton to just south of Little Offley, following a bridleway which has really deteriorated over the winter and is in very poor condition at the moment (large ruts and potholes). This is approximately 4km (2.5 miles) in length. We would not recommend cycling along the B655, it is a fast road with poor sightlines. The safest alternative is to take the minor road south of Higham Gobion to Great Offley (ie missing out the Apsley End/Pirton section of the route). 2) Section of the Grand Union Canal through Berkhamsted Follow the road parallel to the High Street (named Charles Street, off the A416, or Granville Road at the Northchurch end) 3) Section through the Ashridge Estate along Duncombe Terrace (from the Monument and visitor centre to the road near Ivinghoe), about 3km. Some of this is a good hard surface (designed for mobility scooters), but there are some sections near Ivinghoe with a softer surface. There is a good alternative on the B4506 Ringshall Road as shown below. 4) The Chilterns Cycleway follows the Chiltern Heritage Trail through Chesham, the surfacing for this is fairly good but there sections which can be uneven or slightly rutted, particularly after rain. The alternative road is busy (and there are some rather large pot-holes in places at time of writing) but takes you directly into Chesham. From Chesham follow the A416 Amersham road, re-joining the Cycleway at Amersham.

  • DMC-14-12-2017-Item 5K-Boxmoor Hall, St Johns Road , Item 129. PDF
    4/02224/17/FUL - CONVERSION OF BOXMOOR HALL INTO 7 RESIDENTIAL UNITS. BOXMOOR HALL, ST JOHNS ROAD, HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, HP1 1JR. APPLICANT: Mr & Mrs Lardner. [Case Officer - Nigel Gibbs] Summary The proposed conversion of this building with Class D1/ D2 use is, according to the Applicant/ Agent, due to the cumulative effect of a range of factors, notwithstanding the fact that the building was purchased from the Council to continue in such lawful uses. These factors have been examined by the Strategic Planning Unit which is very conscious of the importance of retaining the Borough’s community/ social infrastructure though Dacorum Core Strategy Policy CS23, being such an important sustainable development policy. However, with due weight given to the Applicant’s / Agent’s submitted information regarding viability and other community buildings locally, together with issues concerning noise and site licensing issues it is considered that there is a case to support the loss of this community use building. Despite the original intention to use the building for its lawful use as a public hall it has proved extremely problematic and has become increasingly difficult, hence the application for residential use. The proposed loss of this historically important community use building has been very carefully considered, There are available alternative community buildings for such purposes. It has therefore been concluded that there is a case for the loss of the hall. Set against this, the principle of a residential use is regarded as an acceptable alternative in a very sustainable location where there can be a flexible approach to the level of parking.

    1 The Parish of Boxmoor St John’s Boxmoor, St Stephen’s Chaulden & St Francis’ Hammerfield The Parish of Boxmoor Annual Parochial Church Meeting In St. John`s Church, Boxmoor Sunday 11 October 2020 at 10.00 am Contents Reports from our daughter churches, PCC committees and other church organisations. Please see the main booklet for the agenda, minutes of the last annual meeting, Treasurer’s report & audited accounts for 2019, reports on fabric goods & ornaments, Safeguarding, the Deanery Synod and PCC proceedings. The contents of this booklet are available to be read on the parish website at www.stjohnsboxmoor.org.uk 2 ST FRANCIS HAMMERFIELD APCM REPORT 2020 1. As with other churches in the Diocese, St. Francis has had no hall rentals throughout most of the Covid period, although a few temporary rentals have recently occurred St. Francis has been open for Private Prayer every Wednesday and Sunday between 3pm – 5 pm. 2. A certain number of people have now arranged for their giving to be by Standing Order. 3. The church has good reserves and we are confident that when masses start again, and regular giving resumes, we should again start to have more money. We of course appreciate that the hall rentals will probably not return to what they were until social distancing has vanished. 4. On 16 August we had a well-attended Mass and Benediction 5. Since the last APCM we gave significant sums to The St. Francis Hospice. 6. The Vicar is liaising with The Bishop of Richborough regarding the Bishop presiding and preaching at St.
