Our response, which begins on the following page, starts with an overall summary of our position on the draft local plan, and then gives more detail with regard to particular sections, policies and proposals (referenced and in plan order). Each element indicates whether our statement is in support, objection or as a comment. We did not find either the online portal or the downloadable pro forma to be conducive to an effective response, and we trust that this will be acceptable. There is much to be commended about the plan, but we also have serious reservations. We are, however, strongly supportive of the council taking steps to continue progressing with consultation on the plan in these difficult times. It is essential to have an up-to-date plan in place at all times for the sustainable management of development in an area with such a potent combination of development pressures, regeneration aspirations and a sensitive environment. The council is to be commended for the steps it has taken to give stakeholders as much of an opportunity to comment on the current proposals as it can under the current circumstances.

  • Dacorum Borough Council
    case study Rocket® Dacorum Borough Council Finding and Capturing the Golden Thread Dacorum is an area of 212 square kilometers situated in West Hertfordshire that includes the towns of Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, the villages of Bovingdon, Kings Langley, and Markyate, and 12 smaller settlements. 50% of the area is Green Belt and around 18% of the borough’s 60,000 homes are owned by the council. The Council is improving in key priority areas, and the overall rate of improvement is above average compared with other District Councils. Situation The challenge for the borough’s business improvement team was to be able to show the Dacorum community and council members that that their priorities were being met, and to demonstrate to auditors that the organization was managing its business and performance eectively. One of the biggest diculties was to show the linkages between the top-level priorities and the everyday activities of the council. This is commonly alluded to by the Audit Commission as “The Golden Thread.” In order to improve and move to a Portfolio Management approach, where all projects and programs clearly contribute to the Council’s strategic priorities, Dacorum Borough Council had to be able to demonstrate the golden thread process, which included: • setting clear priorities – what we all have to achieve • citizen needs – what our communities need and expect from us • sound nancial control – spending resources wisely and forecasting for the future • improving service delivery – better value for money for citizens • sta engagement and development – ensuring sta have the right skills and opportunities • tracking our progress – celebrating success and reacting quickly where necessary Solution One of the key outcomes to be delivered from this appointment was to improve performance planning and management.

  • Dear Cllr X, Dacorum Borough Council Local Plan: Land Adjacent
    Dear Cllr X, Dacorum Borough Council Local Plan: Land adjacent to Blegberry Gardens, Shootersway, Berkhamsted (Site Be-h6, Dacorum Schedule of Site Appraisals, October 2017) I am writing to you regarding land in Berkhamsted that Crest Nicholson is promoting for allocation in your council’s new Local Plan, further to my previous letter of November 2017. The land adjacent to Blegberry Gardens is approximately 3.5 hectares on the southwestern edge of the town, off Shootersway. As I set out in my previous letter we believe that this site would make an ideal location for a development of up to 100 homes: • Located in Flood Zone 1 (Low Risk) • Not in a Conservation Area or the AONB • Surrounded on two sides by existing homes • Vehicle access easily provided off Shootersway • Easy pedestrian and cycle routes into Berkhamsted town centre • Defensible boundaries provided by A41 and thick belt of mature trees • Principle of new homes established by ‘Bearroc Park’ development opposite Your council recently finished consulting on its Local Plan Issues and Options paper, and the land adjacent to Blegberry Gardens was identified as site Be-h6 in the accompanying Schedule of Site Appraisals. We have submitted representations to the council setting out our thoughts on the most effective strategy to deliver new homes for the borough, and some of our key considerations are outlined below. 1. Increasing Dacorum’s housing target will help to meet affordable housing need and accommodate new jobs in the borough • Your council’s Issues and Options document proposes that the council increases its housing target beyond the current 430 homes a year agreed in the adopted Core Strategy, to better meet the borough’s housing need.

DX 8804 Hemel Hempstead D/deaf callers, Text Relay: 18001 + 01442 228000 Dear Ms St John Howe Luton Local Plan examination – stage 2 hearings With reference to your email of 2 August 2016, I confirm that Dacorum Borough Council does not wish to be represented at the stage 2 hearing sessions. We are content to rely on our representations of 7 December 2015 on the pre-submission plan, but would also like to comment briefly on Matter 2, question 17 which asks: “Is the Luton HMA correctly and accurately described in paras 1.18, 4.5 and 4.7 of the Plan? In particular, is any part of Dacorum Borough Council within the Luton HMA? [see Council’s ‘minor modifications’ MOD9 & MOD29]” The ‘Luton and Central Bedfordshire Strategic Housing Market Assesment Refresh 2014’ (examination document HOU 003b) included two small parts of Dacorum in the Markyate and Gaddesden Row areas within the Luton Housing Market Area. In our letter of 20 July 2014 in response to the Draft Luton Local Plan we commented that the Dacorum parts of the Luton HMA were rural areas, not well served by services and facilities and therefore not considered suitable locations for growth. The boundaries of the Luton HMA were reviewed in the ‘Housing Market Areas in Bedfordshire and surrounding areas’ report (examination document HOU 003d).
