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).

  • WHBC Birchall Garden Suburb Hearing Statement
    Examination of the Welwyn Hatfield Local Plan Council’s Statement for the Stage 7 Hearing on Tuesday 10 th March 2020 SP19: Birchall Garden Suburb Matter 1 – Historic Heritage and Urban Design 1 Matter 1 – Historic Heritage and Urban Design Heritage Assets There are a number of historic heritage assets, close to the site, some of which are of national significance. In preparing Local Plans the NPPF requires Local Planning Authorities to recognize that heritage assets are an irreplaceable resource that should be conserved in a manner appropriate to their significance. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 also requires them to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the setting of listed buildings. Question 1: Other than the Montages produced by David Jarvis Associates on behalf of Tarmac (EX37), is there any other evidence (such as a Heritage Impact Assessment) that has been considered the sensitivity of development to the nearby Heritage Assets within Welwyn/Hatfield? Council Response: a. Yes, in addition to the photomontages produced by David Jarvis Associates on behalf of Tarmac (EX37), there is also the Panshanger Park and Environs Heritage Impact Assessment (July 2016) (Welwyn Hatfield ref: HIS3) produced by Beacon Planning on behalf of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council and East Herts District Council. b. The Memorandum of Understanding (September 2017) (EX15) between Historic England (HE) and Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (WHBC) provides a summary of engagement between Historic England and WHBC, including the process of identifying a requirement for, and commissioning an independent study defining the significance of Panshanger Park and its environs and assessing the sensitivity of the surrounding area for development.

  • Borough Profile Borough Profile September 2017 September 2017
    BOROUGH PROFILE BOROUGH PROFILE SEPTEMBER 2017 SEPTEMBER 2017 1 Borough Profile Overview Hertsmere is located in the south-west of Hertfordshire abutting north-west London. Despite its proximity to Greater London, the 10,116 hectares borough remains largely rural and almost 80% of the land is designated Green Belt. The borough has five main settlements including: Borehamwood, Bushey, Potters Bar, Radlett and Shenley, with other villages and smaller settlements dispersed throughout the rest of the district. Hertsmere is very much a gateway to the county. This is reflected in the name given to the borough when it was created in 1974, combining ‘Herts’ a common abbreviation of Hertfordshire, with ‘mere’, an old word for a boundary. Hertsmere is not a single town or place and when Hertsmere was formed, it combined parts of Bushey and Potters Bar Urban Districts with Elstree and Watford Rural Districts. Population in Hertsmere The population currently stands at 103,000, which has risen by almost 13,000 between the censuses of 1981 and the most recent projections, made in 2015. The rate of population increase for Hertsmere (14.3%) is comparable with the rest of the UK (15.4%) but slightly less than average for the Southwest Herts sub-region (17.2%). Table 1: Population within the borough Location Latest known (2015) Hertsmere 103,000 Borehamwood 34,979 Bushey (including Bushey Heath) 27,109 Potters Bar 22,383 Aldenham (including Radlett) 9,338 Shenley 4,955 Elstree 4,236 source: Nomis 2 Figure 1: Age group breakdown between 2014 and 2038 in Hertsmere (as % of overall population).
