    Parish Council Offices Lockleys Drive Welwyn Hertfordshire AL6 9NT 01438 716667 www.welwynpc.org.uk Louise St John Howe Programme Officer PO Services PO Box 10965 Sudbury Suffolk CO10 3BF 4th November 2019 Dear Louise Ref: Response to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s Documents EX156 and EX160. Following the invitation from the Inspector to all Representors to comment on Welwyn Hatfield Local Plan Documents, this response has been compiled by Welwyn Parish Council in conjunction with Welwyn Planning and Amenity Group. Welwyn Parish Council have made no comment on documents EX154, EX157, EX158 and EX159 as they relate to locations outside of Welwyn Parish. We regard EX156 and EX160 as being of great significance and importance in helping determine future development in the area. Both documents cover the whole of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s domain but as far as possible, we have restricted our comments to those sections of the documents that refer to Welwyn Parish Council’s geographic area. INTRODUCTION This report is Welwyn Parish Council’s (WPC) response to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s (WHBC) Documents EX1561 & EX1602, submitted following invitation from the Inspector of the WHBC Local Plan. We welcome WHBC’s initiative in commissioning these reports following the Inspector’s comments3 that protection of settlement pattern was not a statutory purpose of the Green Belt and his suggestion of considering specific designations to provide protection for breaks between settlements rather than relying on Green Belt policy. WPC greatly appreciates the opportunity to comment on these two reports, which we regard as being potentially of great importance in determining future development in the area.

SUMMARY 1.1 This report seeks Cabinet’s approval to introduce revised model standards for the licensing of park home sites in North Hertfordshire. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 2.1 That Cabinet agrees the adoption of a revised model standard as regards park home licensing as detailed in Appendix 1. 2.2 That Cabinet agrees the implementation of the new model standards as per the proposals outlined in paragraphs 8.3 and 8.5. 2.3 That Cabinet authorises the Head of Housing and Public Protection, in consultation with Portfolio Holder for Housing and Environmental Health, to make minor amendments to the Council’s model standards from time to time. 3. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 The introduction of a revised model standard for park home sites provides an opportunity to update the Council’s existing standard licence conditions and to clarify the current responsibilities of park home site owners whilst also reducing the risk of harm to residents. 4. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED 4.1 The Cabinet could decide against approving the new model standards, however the standard licence conditions would remain unaltered. 5. CONSULTATION WITH EXTERNAL ORGANISATIONS AND WARD MEMBERS 5.1 Cllr Bernard Lovewell, the Portfolio Holder for Housing and Environmental Health, has been consulted and is supportive of the proposals contained in this report. 5.2 Consultation was undertaken between July and August 2012 with site owners, the Fire Authority, Site Managers and occupants of park homes sites in the District.
