  • Lanchester Building, Hempstead Road
    PART A Report of : HEAD OF REGENERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Date of Committee: 30 th January 2014 Site address: Lanchester Building, Hempstead Road Reference number: 13/01134 /FUL Description of development: Conversion of building for use as a primary school with nursery, including two 3 storey rear extensions, alterations to elevations and new entrance canopy. Formation of external play areas, including new surfacing, seating, fencing and gates, and alterations to landscaping. Erection of fencing around the boundaries of the site. Alterations to vehicular access to West Herts College and the provision of 7 car parking spaces, coach lay-by, cycle shelter and new footpaths. Applicant: West Herts Community Free School Trust th Date received: 6 November 2013 st 8 week date (minor): 1 January 2014 Ward: PARK SUMMARY Full planning permission is sought for the conversion of the existing Lanchester Building at West Herts College into a two form entry primary school with nursery comprising the associated extensions and alterations to the building and external ground works to facilitate this use. The building itself is locally listed and the whole site is located within the Civic Core Conservation Area. The adjacent Little Cassiobury is a Grade II* listed building. The proposed use of the Lanchester Building as a primary school will meet an identified and immediate need for primary school places within the central area of Watford. The use of the building as a school does not require planning permission; however, the proposed external works to the open space in front of the Lanchester Building are considered to have a moderate negative impact on the character and appearance of the Civic Core Conservation Area and the setting of the locally listed Lanchester Building.

  • NHS Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group Board Meeting Date of Meeting: 10 May 2018
    NHS Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group Board Meeting Date of Meeting: 10 May 2018 Title Urgent treatment and GP services at Hemel Hempstead Hospital Agenda item 6 Purpose* (tick) Decision ☒ Approval ☐ Discussion ☐ Assurance ☐ Information only ☐ Author and job title Responsible director and job title Director signature David Evans, David Evans Approved by Director of Commissioning Director of Commissioning David Evans and Juliet Rodgers Juliet Rodgers, Associate Director of Communications and Engagement Short summary of paper This paper asks the board to consider options for two services located at Hemel Hempstead Hospital: 1. Future operating hours for the urgent treatment centre which has been operating on interim hours since December 2016 due to staffing shortages overnight; 2. Future contract for the registered patient list at West Hertfordshire Medical Centre once the current fixed term contract ends in October. The paper outlines the feedback from a public consultation on both of the above services, together with information on additional factors such as demand and resourcing issues that have been taken into account in developing recommendations. The thorough process of consultation has helped mitigate the engagement risk. Risk remains of lack of support from some stakeholders. Patient safety and workforce risks are also factors in the discussion on proposals; not opening the UTC overnight would help mitigate risks around a scarce GP workforce and avoiding an inconsistent and unstable urgent care facility. Recommendation(s) The board is being asked to review the outcomes of the consultation together with evidence and information relating to other factors and to consider the following recommendations: 1. To retain the current hours of the urgent treatment centre, reflecting difficulties with staffing the service overnight, and to explore the feasibility of extending the service to midnight, subject to a workforce review that will come to board later in 2018.

  • Character of Area Study
    Watford Character of Area Study Adopted December 2011 0B1.0 Introduction The Borough of Watford is a well established urban centre in West Hertfordshire that contains a diverse patchwork of areas reflecting different types of built form. These character areas provide the spatial framework for local neighbourhoods and reflect the multifunctional nature of the town as a location for employment, leisure, study and residential provision. Although these areas provide a network of urban form, rich in “place identity”, they remain at risk of degradation from the pressures of new development. There is therefore a need to identify the Borough’s existing character areas and to provide a reference for guiding contextually responsive development that reinforces local character. 2.0 Urban Conservation Strategy 2.1 The need for a comprehensive study identifying character areas within the Borough was set out in the Council’s Urban Conservation Strategy, as detailed in the Watford District Plan 2000 (adopted 2003). The Urban Conservation Strategy sets out to deliver a package of different documents covering the various heritage assets within the town, including: conservation areas, Statutory Listed Buildings, Locally Listed Buildings and archaeology. The Character of the Area Study provides an overarching resource on urban form for the whole Borough and not just areas or buildings that are designated as heritage assets and referred to in the District Plan and the Urban Conservation Strategy. 2.2 The Watford District Plan 2000 and the related Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 28 (adopted 2003) includes information on Historic Environment Character Zones in Watford. This map based resource provides general information on the historical character zones that exist within the Borough and their archaeological potential.
