Handlist of Maps, Plans, Illustrations and Other Large-Format Single-Sheet Material in the Society's Library Handlist of maps, plans, illustrations and other large-format single-sheet material in the Society’s library This is the fourth edition of the Handlist covering the Society’s map collection. The key updates since the last edition are the inclusion of new digital and printed copies of Benjamin Hare’s 1634 map of the town. Our extensive and eclectic collection also includes architectural drawings, auction notices and posters. The earliest map is Hare’s 1634 map referred to above; we have a unique set of copies of three St Albans parish maps from around 1810; and copies of the 1879 1:500 scale Ordnance Survey maps of St Albans town centre. Some material has not yet been included in this listing. For example, we have digital copies of the early Victorian tithe maps for the four St Albans parishes as well as Sandridge. We also have a digital copy of a rare map of the town in the late 1850s. All are available to view on computer. The listing was collated by Library volunteers Tony Cooper, Frank Iddiols and Jonathan Mein. If you want to know more about the library then please have a look at the society’s web site or contact the library team by email.

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.

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’.

  • Settlement Appraisal Gilston Area 1. History 1.1 the Supporting Document Records the Various Stages of Assessment That Were Un
    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.

  • St Albans City Archive Catalogues - Transcription
    St Albans City Archive Catalogues - Transcription Introduction The St Albans City Archive is one of the main sources of primary material for anyone researching the history of the city. However, understanding what is in the archive is daunting as the key finding aid, the catalogue produced by William Le Hardy in the 1940s, does not match the standard of modern catalogues. Improvements are underway. The City Archive has been held at Hertfordshire Archives & Local Studies (HALS) in Hertford since the 1990s. HALS are currently engaged in an extensive project to improve access to its catalogues via the internet. The City Archive is part of this project but it is likely to be several years before the fully revised catalogue is available on-line. In light of this and with HALS’ agreement, the St Albans & Hertfordshire Architectural & Archaeological Society (SAHAAS) has opted to publish the following transcription of Le Hardy’s catalogue together with relevant material from the ‘Interim’ catalogue. (The latter represents a further deposit by St Albans City Council in the 1990s). For the benefit of SAHAAS members, most of whom live closer to St Albans than to Hertford, we have noted on the transcript the following additional information: 1. Microfilm numbers: much of the pre-1830 archive has been microfilmed. Copies of these films are held in the Local Studies filing cabinets at St Albans Central Library. (See column marked Microfilm/Book) 2. A transcription of the St Albans Borough Quarter Sessions Rolls, 1784-1820, was published by the Hertfordshire Record Society (HRS) in 1991. (See column marked Microfilm/Book) Finally, some of the items catalogued by Le Hardy were not subsequently deposited by the City Council.
