If there are fewer applications than places available, all applicants will be offered a place. If there are more applications than places available, the criteria outlined below will be used to allocate applications. Rule 1 Looked After Children Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child’s arrangements order or a special guardianship order). Rule 2 Medical or Social Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school, which includes children previously abroad who were cared for by the state because he or she would not otherwise have been cared for adequately and subsequently adopted. A panel of HCC officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to the school applied for under Rule 2 and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child’s needs. Rule 3 Sibling Children who have a sibling at the school at the time of application, unless the sibling is in the last year of the normal age-range of the school.

  • 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’.

    Gilston Area Settlement Appraisal Settlement Appraisal Gilston Area 1. History 1.1 The Supporting Document records the various stages of assessment that were undertaken to inform the Preferred Options District Plan. It therefore provides an essential background to this Settlement Appraisal. In particular, Chapters 4 to 6 of the Supporting Document explained the process of shortlisting or ‘sieving’ options or ‘Areas of Search’. 1.2 On the basis of the assessments contained within the Supporting Document, and the rest of the evidence base that was available at that time, land to the north of Harlow, known as ‘the Gilston Area’ was identified as a preferred location for development. However, given the size and complexity of the site, and the need for the Council to gather further evidence regarding deliverability, the Gilston Area was not proposed for allocation at that stage. Instead, the Preferred Options District Plan identified it as a ‘Broad Location for Development’ for the delivery of between 5,000 and 10,000 new homes, both within this plan period and beyond, along with a range of supporting infrastructure such as new roads, primary and secondary schools, health centres and public open space. 1.3 Given the uncertainty of delivery at that time, and the need to undertake comprehensive masterplanning work, it was proposed that a separate Development Plan Document (DPD) be prepared following adoption of the District Plan in order to allocate the site. The DPD approach would set out the Council’s intention to deliver development during the latter part of the Plan period, and would enable further consideration of site boundaries, Green Belt boundaries and infrastructure requirements.

  • Hunsdon Parish Council
    Hunsdon Parish Council Letter by email to: For the attention of Adam Halford Planning Dept. East Herts Council Wallfields Pegs Lane Hertford SG13 8 EQ email to [email protected] cc: Councillor [email protected] Ref. No: 3/19/1045/OUT; No: 3/19/1051/FUL; No: 3/19/1049/LBC OUTLINE PLANNING APPLICATION FOR GILSTON PARK ESTATE VILLAGES 1-6 And the Gilston Park planning detailed applications for the two access routes SUBMITTED BY PLACES FOR PEOPLE The Parish Council, as a sponsor of the joint Hunsdon with Eastwick and Gilston Neighbourhood Plan Group, endorses the responses produced by the Group and accordingly appends them to this letter as part of its submission. There are several key issues in the response that the Parish Council would like to underscore and amplify as part of its objections. These have emerged from discussions within the council and residents and following public consultations organised by The Hunsdon Area Neighbourhood Plan Group. We trust that all concerns will be clarified and refined through engagement by both the applicants and the East Herts Council with our joint Neighbourhood Plan Group over the coming weeks. Traffic Impact The route through the centre of Hunsdon from the A414 via Church Lane, Acorn Street the High Street and B180 Widford Road is widely used in both directions as a rat run to avoid congestion in Sawbridgeworth. This increases traffic through the village centre and in particular past the school. The submission is all but silent on the impact the Gilston Area will have on the route, though the EIA noise section, Table 11.4.2 appears to suggest that traffic in Church Lane will more than double on average Apart from a need for greater clarity of what would be the implications for noise and safety our community would like to know how rat runs are going to be discouraged and/or controlled firstly under the interim arrangements for access to village 6 and then looking to the wider impact as Village 7 is developed.

  • The Hundred Parishes HUNSDON
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to HUNSDON 4 miles NW of Harlow. Ordnance Survey grid square TL4114. Postcode SG12 8NJ. Access: B180, no train station. The village is served by bus routes 351 (Hertford to Bishop‘s Stortford), C3 (Waltham Cross to Hertford or Harlow) and 5 (South End to Harlow Sats. only). County: Hertfordshire. District: East Hertfordshire. Population: 1,080 in 2011. The village of Hunsdon was registered in the Domesday Book of 1086. The village centre is dominated by the 15th-century village hall, originally a house called ’The Harlowes’ which had previously been the village school as far back as at least 1806. The hall faces one of the village’s original 5 greens, mainly now used as a pub car park but also the site of the war memorial. A number of houses in the village date back to the same period as the hall, including ’White Horses’ to the right of the village hall, while many others are of subsequent centuries. Hunsdon’s greatest claim to fame is as the site of Hunsdon House to the east of the church. The house was built in the 15th century by Sir William Oldhall, but by the 16th century the building and its extensive parks were in the hands of the Crown. Henry VIII rebuilt the house expanding it into a palatial estate in the Tudor style, complete with royal apartments and even a moat, making it into a splendid palace. Henry spent much of his leisure time at Hunsdon hunting in the well stocked deerpark. All of the King’s children lived there, Mary until her accession to the throne, Elizabeth and particularly Prince Edward.
