I am a bit of an ‘old codger’ aged 63 and have lived in Cuffley almost all my life (I was actually born in Barnet) and attended my first school at Cuffley primary school – they have a lot to answer for… I owned and edited the Cuffley Courier for over 20 years so know something about the area. That’s enough of that, as I am sure you don’t want to hear my life story. I have been informed it’s a tradition that a new incoming Chairman should thank his or her predecessor, so not wishing to break from tradition, I herewith give my heartfelt thanks to Jim Sharkey, our last Chairman and will also take this opportunity to also thank Mrs Andrea Allgood who has put in a great deal of hard work for the benefit of the Community whilst a Councillor. I would also like to thank our hardworking Deputy Clerk, Carol Branigan, for her support and for keeping the office running during the continuing absence of the Clerk. Our Village Day organiser has now stood down so will not be organising this event next year. Are there any residents who would like to take up the mantle? If interested, please contact me via the Parish Office. Back to business, I have been approached by some folks who think we are wasting our time and money employing planning consultants with reference to the proposed development in the area. The reason they claim it’s a waste of money is that it’s a ‘done deal’ and that Mrs May, when Prime Minister, said local councils should not be NIMBYS (not in my backyard) and everybody should take their fair share of house-building. It was interesting to note that I cannot recall any other major establishment political parties or leaders contradicting her. My view is that we can use the present system and laws to limit the amount of damage done and without planning consultants things could be much worse. However, there are other folk who take the view we should fight the building in the parish and take legal action on the grounds of air pollution and traffic. Those folks never challenged government ideology or policy prior to the first proposals for building in the parish. Strange that – it appears they somehow must have thought that all the rest of the UK could be built on and somehow Northaw and Cuffley would be exempt. Even after they formed their group, you would have thought that they would have stepped up their game (with leaflets, letters to the paper etc.) about the government’s policy – but no, total silence, unlike folks like me who have constantly challenged the government over this issue. They appear to have accepted the premise that is spouted by our political elites, that we must have constant economic growth, which means you must have more houses, more offices, more factories, warehouses, hospitals, more schools etc., which necessitates bringing in more folk, which in turn means more houses etc. – it’s a vicious circle, it’s like a snake devouring its own tail. Some folk can’t grasp the fact that the Parish Council do not make the laws, but they attack us and not the folks who do make the laws – how bizarre! If folk are really sincere about fighting building on the Green Belt they should form a proper political group, with a constitution – and challenge the government at the district level and upwards. When such folks start to give a critique of the ideology, and hence policy, that leads to building on the Green Belt, then – and only then – will I take them seriously. Hope folks have not choked reading this – but to all of you (even folks who disagree with me) – have a happy and sober Christmas! Councillor Brent Cheetham Chairman 3 UPDATE DECEMBER 2019 Northaw & Cuffley Parish Council: Who we are and what we do! Who we are The Northaw & Cuffley Parish Council (NCPC) is a statutory body funded by residents through the Parish Precept which is collected with your Council Tax. A small team is employed to run the Parish Council Office and services. Parish Councillors serve a four year term following a formal election process. The role is unpaid. Qualification for the nomination process is mainly to be a local elector. In the recent elections of May 2019 just eight people sought election to the eight vacancies on the Parish Council out of a total of 4,410 eligible residents! Councillors sit on three committees: Planning and Licensing, Policy and Resources (which largely manages the finances of the Parish Council and ongoing policy directions and protocols), both of which meet regularly and Personnel and Urgency which meets as and when needed. We are responsible for the upkeep of a number of community assets • King George V Playing Fields in Cuffley • Northaw Playing Fields • Northaw Cemetery • Sopers Road and Maynard Place car parks • The Millennium Garden and the flower beds in Station Road. • Homewood • Peters Wood The Parish Council also owns Cuffley Hall and leases Cuffley Youth & Community Centre, although these are run by independent charities on a day to day basis. We host and help organise community events …Such as the annual Parish Meeting, Village Day and the Community Party at Christmas, litter picking and tree planting to name but a few. We have a number of planning responsibilities The Planning Committee of the Parish Council works hard to influence development in the Parish, although we do not have the final say about which developments take place. That resides with Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council. There is a lot we can do though: • The Planning Committee reviews all the planning and licence applications in the Parish • We provide advice to residents about their applications and those of other residents • We submit comments and objections to Welwyn & Hatfield Borough Council (WHBC) Planning Department. • We attend hearings of the WHBC Development Committee to put residents’ views and hearings called by the Inspector for the Local Plan. • We have also contributed to the WHBC Local Plan examination of development in our area • We engage professional planning Consultants to act on our behalf through the Local Plan and Neighbourhood Plan processes 4 ISSUE 69 • We keep Borough Councillors informed of residents and our own concerns e.g. infrastructure, social services etc. • We are currently preparing our Neighbourhood Plan, which will set out the vision for Northaw and Cuffley over the next fifteen years. Residents will have an opportunity to input their views and vote on the Neighbourhood Plan. The Local Plan or The Neighbourhood Plan? Confused? How to tell them apart! Local Plans are prepared by the Local Planning Authority (LPA), in this case WHBC. They provide a vision for the future of the Borough and a framework for addressing housing needs and other economic, social and environmental priorities. WHBCs Local Plan is now at the stage where it has been submitted to the Secretary of State who has appointed an Inspector. His role is to examine the Plan’s soundness according to National Planning Policy Framework’s tests. A key role of the Local Plan is to deliver the number of dwellings the Government requires over the time period of the Plan to meet projected future housing needs. Initially in 2016, the Local Plan allocated six sites for development in Cuffley (none in Northaw) amounting to 299 units. It is very unlikely that WHBC will change its mind about these sites. Add to this housing numbers already built, given permission for building, or likely to obtain permission since 2016 which account for around an additional 147. Together these amount to around 450 dwellings. The recent call for sites from landowners came about because the Inspector asked WHBC to find a further 4,000 dwellings over and above the 12,000 already agreed by WHBC. This ‘Call for Sites’ was followed by a public consultation. The response to this consultation took WHBC by surprise, especially from the residents of Northaw and Cuffley! Which sites are selected should be made known in December.

PURPOSE OF STUDY Introduction This study has been produced by Metropolis Planning and Design in response to the Government Office for East of England’s directive to review the Green Belt boundaries in Welwyn Hatfield to accommodate growth up till 2031. This study ties in with our representations to the Council’s ‘Issues and Options’ Core Strategy published for consultation in early March. It is the intention that this study will inform the Local Authority’s district wide review of the Green Belt boundaries; however the study is focused on Cuffley and its surroundings. The purpose of the study is to review the possibility of altering the Green Belt boundary around Cuffley and more specifically to release a 22.6 ha piece of land by Northaw Road East. The location of the site is shown on the map attached on the opposite page. Sustainability Appraisal An appraisal produced by Metropolis Green assessing the sustainability credentials of the site was submitted to the Council in January. The Sustainability Appraisal included information on the sustainability of a potential development at the site and a detailed assessment of Cuffley and the subject site in terms of location, services and infrastructure.

  • 1028210 Northaw & Cuffley Residents' Association Appendix 1 Matter 9 Cuf15
    Cuf15 – c. 240 New Dwellings, approx. a 12% increase for Cuffley. This site is a ‘standalone’ remote development within the Green Belt. We feel strongly that this would then become an 'outlier' and so assist further applications that encroach upon the Green Belt. We do not believe that there are any ‘very special circumstances’, as detailed in the NPPF 2019, that would justify this development within the Green Belt. It is not a sustainable development as the nearest shops, services and station are located in Cuffley village centre. This is not a walk that many residents would willingly undertake carrying shopping and is certainly not a convenient location for those with disabilities or mobility issues. Car use would be essential to access any services. The bus service is so infrequent it barely exists, the nearest secondary schools are some miles away at Potters Bar or Cheshunt and the nearest primary school is full. Development of this site would have a detrimental impact on the rural gap between Northaw and Cuffley and could encourage the urban sprawl that the Green Belt was created to prevent. We therefore feel strongly that this site is unsuitable. This site could accommodate up to 240 dwellings and this would inevitably increase traffic in an area which is already congested. This site is near to the dangerous ‘T’ junction of Cattlegate Road and Northaw Road East. There have been several accidents at this junction as traffic turns onto the B156 from Cattlegate Road. Cattlegate Road becomes so congested at peak travel times that traffic regularly tails back to the M25 and beyond towards Crews Hill.

Despite the age of the house, the internal design is suited to both informal family living and entertaining, with impressive interconnecting reception rooms with double doors either side of the fireplace and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room with gas aga and two sets of French doors; opening to the walled courtyard at the side of the house and to the rear gardens with mature trees, well established flower beds and large lawned area, the plot being about 0.63 acres.

Welwyn Hatfield Response a) Yes. In line with the NPPF (paras 156, 162), the Council has continuously worked with the relevant infrastructure service providers and landowners, to assess how the location of and scale of potential housing allocations within Cuffley may impact the capacity of its existing infrastructure and whether any proportionate enhancements or new provisions are required to address additional demands of growth and support sustainable development. A range of infrastructure providers such as Hertfordshire County Council Highways and Education, Thames Water, Utility providers were consulted during the assessment of potential sites through the HELAA and with regard to their cumulative impact at different stages of the Local Plan process. Their consultation responses have informed the location and scale of proposed allocation of sites within Cuffley as well as whether any mitigation is needed to address any infrastructure capacity issues.
