Hicks North Herts District Council Our Ref: District Council Offices Your Ref: Gernon Road Tel: 01992 556158 Letchworth Garden City SG6 3JF Date: 21/03/2013 Dear Sir Local Plan 2011 – 2031 Housing Options Growth Levels and Locations 2011 – 2031 Consultation Paper February 2013 I would like to make the following comments on the above consultation: 1. Housing Options Part 1: Housing Numbers 1. There is no indication as to how many of the strategic Sites might be used, or whether it may be that parts of all of them may be released for development, although if new discrete communities are planned with minimum sizes for facilities etc. this may not be an option. It is suggested that at least one will be required to meet the target of 10,700 dwellings (1.46). However, if somewhat variable, this could obviously have an impact on the environmental implications of any development. 2. Currently, the increase in proposed homes represents an increase of over 20% of the existing resource; this will also – crudely - increase the resulting generic environmental pressures such as increasing transport, water demand, pollution and disturbance by 20%, overall within the District and locally where development takes place. This may result in direct impacts such as the lowering of water tables if over-abstraction occurs, as well as increased nitrogen deposition, although it is hoped that measures will be taken in an attempt to address these issues as part of more detailed planning.

  • The Hundred Parishes HORMEAD
    The Hundred Parishes An introduction to HORMEAD Location: 2 miles east of Buntingford. Ordnance Survey grid square: TL4029. Postcode: SG9 0AD. Access: B1368 or B1038. Bus: 331 - Hare Street to Royston or Hertford. County: Hertfordshire. District: East Herts. Population: 743 in 2011. The parish of Hormead comprises Great Hormead, Little Hormead and Hare Street. Running from north to south through the parish are the valley of the River Quin and the B1368 road. Further south, the Quin joins the River Rib. The B1368 meets the east- west road B1038 at the staggered crossroads in Hare Street. From here the land rises to Great and Little Hormead, a little east of Hare Street. The parish’s two churches stand on the higher ground. The little Grade I-listed Church of St Mary at Little Hormead dates from the 11th century and has a superb door from the 12th century, ornately decorated with ironwork including a dragon. It is one of the oldest doors in England, albeit not as venerable as the one at Hadstock in the north of the Hundred Parishes. A major preservation project on the door was halted through lack of funds and the church is now permanently locked to protect what has been done. It is hoped that the church, which is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, will be able to reopen before too long. Another unusual feature of this church is this coat of arms of King Charles II. It is dated 1660, the year he became king on the restoration of the monarchy.
