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. -

Watford Colosseum Management Contract Watford Borough Council
Watford Colosseum Management Contract Watford Borough Council Direct Market Engagement Watford Colosseum Opportunity Document Watford Borough Council would like to invite suitable and experienced orgainsations, to participate in a Direct Market Engagement Exercise. This process will involve discussions regarding the proposed development works and new management contract of the council’s receiving and touring theatre called Watford Colosseum. The council have developed this Opportunity Document to provide theatre operators with some background information regarding the venue and the future building and contract plans. Introduction to Watford Watford is an urban borough in South West Hertfordshire, on the edge of the East of England region, and to the north-west of London. It covers 2,142 hectares (8.3 square miles), and is the only non-metropolitan borough wholly contained within the M25. Watford is the largest town in Hertfordshire and the centre of a sub-region serving over 500,000 people, living within a 20 minute travelling time who look to Watford as the go to place for shopping, leisure, culture and entertainment. We are also home to around 5,000 businesses and 100,000 jobs. This brings an amazing energy to the borough Whilst it does not have a common boundary with London, in terms of its regional profile and its young and diverse population (currently circa 96,700 - Office for National Statistics (ONS): 2017 mid-year estimate), the borough has much in common with the energy and dynamism of the capital. However, one of Watford’s key strengths is that retains its own strong identity, with a long and varied history as a market town and a much-loved premier league football team. -
Carpenders Park and South Oxhey (Again Watch for Details)
CPSO METHODIST CHURCH NEWSLETTER Lent/Easter 2020 Minister’s Letter – Journey into Lent Our Lent journey begins! We make our way with Jesus towards Jerusalem and the Cross. This year we are exploring that journey and the places en-route through our Lent Group “Places on the Way”. We are stopping off at a village wedding in Cana, climbing new heights at the mount of Transfiguration, finishing up at the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem as Jesus makes his way to Golgotha. We will be exploring what the journey meant to Jesus and the journey we make this Lent. (See later in the newsletter for details) Following on from the soap cross, this Lent I am asking for you to make pom- poms – brown wool pom-poms of various sizes and shades of brown. Make as many as you can during the six weeks of Lent and then join the team putting the cross together. (More information to follow) Maundy Thursday we are still going to gather for a shared meal and worship in the small hall at Bushey and Oxhey Church but this year it will be a ‘bring & share’ supper (details to follow). Finally, Good Friday, as churches together in Bushey and Oxhey, this year we are trying something slightly different. During Passiontide you will be asked to take some purple ribbons and tie them in prominent places (purple being a symbol of the passion). We will gather outside St. Andrews at 9.30am for a short act of worship before walking (or driving) down to the small park opposite St Peter’s for another short reflection. -

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. -
