Contact Details The foundations of this Community Plan are the responses from residents of Chorleywood to a questionnaire circulated to every household in the Parish. A Committee comprising representatives of the main community organisations within Chorleywood has analysed these responses and compiled this report. The main issues and concerns highlighted by residents are: • Protection of our open spaces and green environment • Lack of adequate parking facilities in the shopping area • Lack of diversity of shops and businesses in the village • Üóèèçìñê÷õäĦæòñïòæäïõòäçö • Öäìñ÷äìñìñêèģèæ÷ìùèóïäññìñêæòñ÷õòïöæòñöìçèõìñê the local demographics. • Senior school admissions policies Ýëìöçòæøðèñ÷öè÷öòø÷öóèæìĤæ÷òóìæö÷òåèìñùèö÷ìêä÷èçäñç allocates them to local organisations who have agreed to accept responsibility for follow-through. A Community Plan is a document setting out achievable aims and visions for the future of a community, based upon the views of its residents gathered through survey, research and community participation. The Localism Act 2011 gave communities a greater say in the development of their area. In October 2013, the Parish Council decided to use the powers of the Localism Act along with wider-reaching aims and objectives covering other aspects of community life, to produce a Community Plan and Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for Chorleywood. A Steering Group, led by the Parish Council, was formed from a large number of community-interest groups.

  • Full Council Meeting
    Chorleywood Parish Council: Full Council meeting - Notes by GH (in attendance as a member of the public) of matters relevant to Chorleywood Common raised at the meeting on 29th January 2013 The meeting observed a minute’s silence in memory of the late Cllr Dr Norman Eve, who died shortly before Christmas. Public Forum: Mrs M Larkin, of Chorleywood Residents’ Association, congratulated the Council on the award of Higher Level Stewardship funding, and said that recreational uses of the Common should have equal priority with conservation; the Residents’ Association sup- ported the suggested Woodland Play Area, and hoped that a Dog Control Order would be made and would make fencing the Play Area unnecessary; it would be desirable to put forward, as a reserve, an alternative to location 13 (near Shepherd’s Bridge parking area). GH, FoCC, said that the Friends supported the grazing project and were interested in the “virtual fence” suggestion; we would welcome the chance to be represented, if there was room, at any meeting to see the system in use. On the Play Area, there was a bal- ance to be struck between recreation and conservation; the proposal would be on the agenda for discussion at the Friends’ forthcoming AGM and a variety of views were likely to be expressed; it might well be suggested that location 13 had not been specifi- cally considered in previous consultations and that residents should be invited to express a preference as between that location and the Chorleywood House Estate. Mr R Hartley supported the proposal for the Parish Council to take over the mainte- nance of the listed telephone kiosk on the A404 (opposite the Gate public house); and suggested that the arrangements for members of the public to speak at Council and Committee meetings could be varied to allow contributions after the discussion of par- ticular items, rather than being confined to the opening of each meeting.

    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.

Known as the East of England Forecasting model, it is a computer-based set of data for the common variables and a system for modelling the inter-relationships between these variables, with the capacity to generate forecasts and scenarios for each the variables at regional and local scales. The model is constructed primarily on an Excel spreadsheet and can thus be run on any personal computer. The economic relationships underpinning the model were primarily derived from Oxford Economics commercially available Regional Economic Model. Additional estimation at a local level was carried out for this project and applied to the Excel model. A full description of the model is contained in the final report for the EEDA project ‘East of England: Joint Modelling for the RES and RSS’, on the EEDA website at www.eeda.org.uk/files/Joint_RES-RSS_modelling_final.pdf.
