AL10 6AE 12th June 2020 (by email) Dear Mr. Haigh, Potential Plot-land Development, Digswell Park Road We are writing to advise you of potential plot-land development on the fields between Digswell Park Road and Hertford Road. The land in question is pasture land to the north of Digswell Park Road, within the Green Belt and immediately adjacent to the Grade II* listed Digswell Viaduct. Earlier this year the landowner entered into a contract to sell this land (and allegedly the adjoining field to the south of Digswell Park Road). The land has subsequently been subdivided into plots, of which three have been sold and the remainder due for auction on 23 June. The purchaser, Country Land Conservation, a company registered in Ireland, state on their website that “Our main objectives with pasture and arable land once acquired is returning them to wildflower meadows. … We do have finances to compete with other developers who would look to acquire rural sites for development. The CLC’s actions with these pieces of lands can vary, the main importance would be to halt a possibility for development.” Consequently, it is puzzling that their agent is now advertising the plots as “the parcels offer an excellent opportunity for a number of potential uses along with future potential for development.

    Our Ref: LF/18092 31 October 2019 Mrs L St John Howe Programme Officer PO Services PO Box 10965 Sudbury Suffolk CO10 3BF By Email Only: [email protected] Dear Mrs St John Howe Re: Green Gap Assessment October 2019. Land East of New Road, Digswell (Dig1). We write further to your email of the 6 October 2019 inviting comments on new documentation published by the Local Planning Authority. As explained in our earlier correspondence, we represent Countryside Properties in respect of Site Dig1, Land East of New Road, Digswell. This site has been promoted via the 2019 ‘Call for Sites’ exercise undertaken by the Local Planning Authority. You have confirmed that whilst we are not a Regulation 19 party, given our recent promotion of Dig1, you have confirmed that we are entitled to make comments on the recent documentation. The Green Gap Assessment has been produced to assist the Local Planning Authority in understanding the local purpose of the gaps between settlements to assist in further site allocations. Noting that there is no standard methodology available for undertaking such assessments, the approach adopted appears reasonable and has had regard to other similar assessments undertaken in other Authorities, thus adding an element of robustness to the methodology. We do not propose to review the entire document, but will concentrate of the assessments undertaken around Digswell. Area between Oaklands, Welwyn and Digswell. This assessment is primarily focusing on the western edge of Digswell as opposed to the eastern edge, but it is clear that area in and around Digswell is rated largely as having high or moderate-high landscape sensitivity, with areas of moderate sensitivity, including Dig1.

  • The Impact of Agricultural Depression and Land
    THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND LAND OWNERSHIP CHANGE ON THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE, c.1870-1914 Julie Patricia Moore Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD September 2010 2 ABSTRACT The focus of this research has been on how the county of Hertfordshire negotiated the economic, social and political changes of the late nineteenth century. A rural county sitting within just twenty miles of the nation’s capital, Hertfordshire experienced agricultural depression and a falling rural population, whilst at the same time seeing the arrival of growing numbers of wealthy, professional people whose economic focus was on London but who sought their own little patch of the rural experience. The question of just what constituted that rural experience was played out in the local newspapers and these give a valuable insight into how the farmers of the county sought to establish their own claim to be at the heart of the rural, in the face of an alternative interpretation which was grounded in urban assumptions of the social value of the countryside as the stable heart of the nation. The widening of the franchise, increased levels of food imports and fears over the depopulation of the villages reduced the influence of farmers in directing the debate over the future of the countryside. This study is unusual in that it builds a comprehensive picture of how agricultural depression was experienced in one farming community, before considering how farmers’ attempts to claim ownership of the ‘special’ place of the rural were unsuccessful economically, socially and politically.
