Plan’ or the ‘SSNP’). It represents one part of the development plan for the Parish over the period 2019 to 2036, the other part being the St Albans District Local Plan Review, 1994, which, at the time of publication, is at Examination1. 1.2 St Albans City and District Council (SADC), the local planning authority, designated a Neighbourhood Area for St Stephen Parish in April 2015 to enable St Stephen Parish Council to prepare the Neighbourhood Plan. The Plan has been prepared by the community through the St Stephen Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group. 1.3 The St Stephen Neighbourhood Plan (SSNP) has been prepared in accordance with the Town & Country Planning Act 19902, the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 20043, the Localism Act 2011, the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended)4, the Neighbourhood Planning Act 20175 and the National Planning Policy Framework6 (revised 2019). The Steering Group has prepared the Plan to establish a vision for the future of the Parish and to set out how that vision will be realised through planning land use and development change over the Plan period 2019 to 2036, to coincide with the lifespan of the emerging Local Plan. 1.4 The Neighbourhood Plan will guide development within St Stephen Parish and provide direction to any interested parties wishing to submit planning applications. The process of producing the Plan has sought to involve the community as widely as possible and the different topic areas are reflective of matters that are of considerable importance

  • Bricket Wood
    Memories of the River Ver – Bricket Wood Derivation of: Bricket Wood – this area was once heavily wooded, indeed vestiges of this ancient wood remain today. Apparently the name is a compound of OE ‘beorht’ (briht), ‘bright, light’ and ‘iggoð’, ‘islet’. As the Rivers Ver and Colne lay some distance away, this may refer to the original tiny settlement of ‘Smug Oak’ which in turn may refer to a ‘small, hollowed-out place’, secret place’, i.e. an ‘island’ homestead carved from the surrounding woodland. From ‘Park Street’s Past’ by Cyril Martin (1995). Moor Mill, Past and Present’ (chap. 4). “... The Domesday book states that there was a mill here, on this part of the River Ver, controlled by the Saxon Manor of Hanstead. “During the terms of office of the first five Norman abbots from Paul de Caen to Robert de Gorham, just over a hundred years, Moremyll had to be partly altered and its water-courses widened and deepened. About that time a record in the Park (Manor) Court book (1237-1460) carried information that eighteen offenders were punished for hunting in the Abbot’s wood and twenty-one for poaching fish of various kinds in his waters. One offender was captured several times poaching trout in the Ver at Moremyll. The control of the mill had apparently passed from Hanstead to the Manor of Park. “In 1330, during the term of office of the 15th Norman Abbot Richard de Wallingford, further structural changes were made and recorded which improved the building and mill-gear. “A few years later Abbot John Moore (1349-96) rebuilt both Parkye Mill and Moremyll at a recorded cost of £22.
