Hertfordshire Gardens Trust
HERTFORDSHIRE GARDENS TRUST SPRING NEWSLETTER 2015 AND ANNUAL REPORT From the President: “Our new Chairman has not let the grass grow under her feet and under her leadership this has been another productive year for the Hertfordshire Gardens Trust. There is plenty of activity in all departments which is impressive. The Hertfordshire Gardens Trust provides interesting opportunities for its members and I do encourage you to bring your friends along to see what is going on as there is something of interest for everyone. It would be an advantage to widen the circle of membership.” 2 Chairman’s Report—Bella Stuart-Smith Like caged beasts unleashed, gardeners emerge in spring with such huge energy and enthusiasm that they can tackle anything. The committee see this coming and so put together a wonderful year full of events, outings, study opportunities and visits which really should inspire and enthuse. Whatever your particular interest I hope you find something to enjoy; and please bring your friends. I particularly recommend Tony Kirkham’s tree lecture, an extraordinarily knowledgeable and engaging expert. Our Research and Conservation team don’t ever seem to hibernate. The reports you will read show just how much is going on behind the scenes. What they highlight is the expertise and knowledge that has been built up by our individual members. With support and training, like the day we held in February, we hope to make this research really count so that planners and local districts, at the click of a mouse, can readily access information about what our members and researchers consider to be the most important elements of our historic landscapes. -

Aurora is promoting two sites in Brookmans Park, BrP1 and BrP12. Both sites passed the Stage 2 HELAA process. BrP12 was considered suitable for allocation in the Housing Sites Selection Paper 2016 (HOU/20); but was not then allocated by WHBC due to a perceived lack of primary school capacity in Brookmans Park. It was the only site in WHBC to be found suitable for allocation, but not allocated. The reason for not allocating BrP12 is contrary to national planning guidance. The Council’s reasons for not allocating BrP1 are disputed by Aurora. Those are matters for the Stage 3 and 4 sessions. Aurora’s detailed representation is dated October 2016 (the Representation). The Representation remains Aurora’s primary evidence supporting its objection. Aurora has also submitted a Stage 1 Hearing Statement. -
