Highways England’s work to build the A5-M1 link is almost complete. The road will link the A5 with a new junction (11A) on the M1. It will provide a quicker route for strategic traffic between Hemel Hempstead and Leighton Buzzard and beyond; and will remove the need for this traffic to use the A4146. Effectively, Water End will be bypassed. Hertfordshire County Council’s (HCC) highways department is working with Central Bedfordshire Council and Buckinghamshire County Council on two cross-border changes affecting the A4146 Leighton Buzzard Road. This concerns the section of the A4146 between Galley Hill/A4147) roundabout in Hemel Hempstead and the A505 roundabout just south of Leighton Buzzard. Traffic surveys indicate that currently over 300 HGVs drive through Water End between 7am and 7pm on weekdays. The bridge at Water End is a listed structure, and has been damaged a number of times. It is thought the damage is caused by HGVs. For a long time residents have wanted to reduce the environmental impact of HGVs in Water End and neighbouring villages. HCC has identified Water End as an appropriate location for a ban which precludes HGVs from crossing the bridge on the A4146. This ban is the preferred solution in terms of outcomes and enforceability. In advance of making a formal request for a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO), public consultation has been undertaken to feed into the refinement of the final scheme. To further complement the A5-M1 link as the most suitable route for HGVs it is also proposed that the A4146 should be reclassified to a ‘B’ road (B440). Furthermore there could be three zonal HGV bans in Central Bedfordshire. These complementary changes do not form part of this consultation. This report sets out the outcomes of the consultation. This represents the views from all of the comments submitted online through the consultation portal, via post or via email. Responses received after the closure of the consultation period have also been included where possible. | Final report | 11 November 2016 Page 1 Hertfordshire County Council A4146 Water End HGV Ban Consultation Report 2 Legislative and best practice context Procedures to be adopted by local authorities for making TROs is set out in the Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996 (SI 1996/2489) as amended. Opportunities for the public and key stakeholders to make objections is part of the making of any order, however general public consultation is not. Local authorities are expected to apply a ‘test of reasonableness’ as to who they decide to consult out of the following: • other authorities; • town or parish and district councils; • bus operators; • the Chief Officer of the appropriate NHS trust; • the Chief Officer of the fire authority; • other organisation or individuals likely to affected by any provision in the order; and • the Freight Transport Association and/or the Road Haulage Association. In addition, it is HCC practice to undertake informal public consultation in advance of formal TRO procedures for larger scale projects. The new Local Authorities Traffic Orders Regulations 2012 state that there is a requirement to inform those individuals and organisations likely to be affected in a way which is most appropriate in the circumstances. The approach to consultation is set out in Chapter 3. Best practice states that consultation should follow the Gunning Principles, namely that: • consultation should occur when proposals are at a formative stage; • consultations should give sufficient time for any proposals to permit intelligent consideration; • consultations should allow adequate time for consideration and response; and • the product of consultation must be conscientiously taken into account. Ensuring that informal consultation takes place in advance of any work on a formal TRO process ensures that consultation is undertaken at a formative stage. The information provided (consultation leaflet and FAQs) provide information on why the scheme is thought to be needed, and the process for decision making. Responses received have been reviewed in detail and analysed to identify recurring and similar comments. A full assessment of the comments received and an account of how the scheme has responded are set out in Chapter 4 and 5. | Final report | 11 November 2016 Page 2 Hertfordshire County Council A4146 Water End HGV Ban Consultation Report 3 Consultation approach 3.1 Stakeholder identification An initial study was undertaken to understand the potential sphere of influence of a HGV ban at Water End. This identified potential alternative routes for traffic between Leighton Buzzard and Hemel Hempstead. Nettleden Road, and the sections of Hudnall Lane, Pipers Hill and Ringshall Road which connect Nettleden Road to the A4146 were identified as the most vulnerable alternative routes. The other potential routes were discounted due to increased journey times, or existing and proposed measures that are likely to discourage HGVs from travelling along roads. Addresses along these routes and the A4146 were identified from Ordnance Survey data, covering addresses in both Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Central Bedfordshire. A total of 374 addresses were identified. Appendix A includes a plan showing the parishes and addresses identified through this exercise, and a list of the stakeholder organisations contacted. A draft of this plan was shared with the local County Councillors for Hemel Hempstead North and Bridgewater to ensure they agreed this consultation area was appropriate. Groups and representatives who may have an interest in the scheme were also identified. These included representatives from the Road Haulage Association, Highways England, the emergency services, road user and right of way groups, public transport operators and local authority officers for travel and schools. Political representatives were also identified, including HCC local members, district council local members, and parish council clerks. A list of the groups and representatives is provided at Appendix A. 3.2 Consultation materials Consultation materials were distributed via post to the 374 stakeholder addresses identified. Materials are described below. • A consultation leaflet – this provided background to the proposals, a plan showing the extent of the proposed ban area, locations of proposed signs and proposed traffic count monitoring sites, a predicted timeline for the project and ways to share feedback including links to the consultation website. • A feedback form – asked for views on the scheme as a whole, and the monitoring locations in particular, and requesting any other comments about the proposals. • A factsheet – gave more information on the background and development of the scheme in terms of wider improvements linked to the A5-M1 link road. It also provided wider information in the format of frequently asked questions. Copies of these materials are included within Appendix B. | Final report | 11 November 2016 Page 3 Hertfordshire County Council A4146 Water End HGV Ban Consultation Report These materials were uploaded to a project consultation web page within the Transport and Highways Consultations area of the HCC website. A link to this web page was sent by email to the groups and representatives on the first day of the consultation period. The message accompanying the information asked for it to be shared as they felt appropriate. 3.3 Extension of the consultation period The consultation period was originally planned to last three weeks, running from the 12 September to 2 October 2016. During the consultation period, Little Gaddesden Parish Council raised concerns that some residents of Little Gaddesden had not received consultation materials through the post, and so had not been advised of the consultation in adequate time to formulate views within the three-week period. These concerns about some members of the parish not receiving information were also raised with the local Councillor for Little Gaddesden. Little Gaddesden Parish Council highlighted the consultation at their September 2016 parish meeting. To ensure that all interested parties were able to make representations the consultation period was extended by one week, until 9 October 2016. Consultation responses received early in the period were reviewed, and a high number of responses had been received from residents of Little Gaddesden. It was therefore deemed that additional materials did not need to be sent out, as the response rate far exceeded the expected number of responses. A commitment was made to discuss the proposals with the parish council once the formal consultation period was closed.

  • Laureate Academy Admissions Arrangements 2020/2021
    Laureate Academy Admissions Arrangements 2020/2021 Laureate Academy has an annual admission number of 210 pupils. Section 324 of the Education Act 1996 requires the governing bodies of all maintained schools to admit a child with a statement of special educational needs that names their school. Schools must also admit children with an EHC (Education, Health and Care) Plan that names the school. If there are fewer applications than places available at a school all applicants will be admitted. If there are more applications than places available, the criteria outlined below will be used to prioritise applications. Oversubscription criteria Rule 1: Children looked after and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order). Rule 2: Medical or Social Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school, which includes children previously from abroad who were cared for by the state because he or she would not otherwise have been cared for adequately and subsequently adopted. A panel of HCC officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to Laureate Academy and must clearly demonstrate why Laureate Academy is the only school that can meet the child’s needs. Rule 3: Sibling Children who have a sibling on the roll of the school or linked school at the time of application*. This applies to Years 7 to 13.

Do you think the overarching vision and the strategic objectives are right for the Borough? (pp3 – 26) No 1.1. The consultation process We appreciate the fact that the consultation period was extended, although this should have been agreed at the outset rather than imposing a significant workload during a national lockdown and over the Christmas holidays which self-evidently were always going to make it extremely difficult both to give the plan the attention it deserved and to undertake adequate public consultation. However we are still extremely concerned that the consultation has proceeded given that: • shortly after publication the Government changed its guidance on the level of housing growth required by the Borough, a key driver of the plan, and it now appears that the Borough is adopting a housing growth figure which is not consistent with the Government’s express intent to protect Green Belt land. • it is very difficult to understand how the majority of the proposed major developments can be described as “sustainable” given their distance from existing infrastructure. • neither the Infrastructure Development Plan not the Transport Plan are complete and under the current process it will not be possible to comment in any meaningful way on the Plan without the benefit of these significant elements.

Known as the East of England Forecasting model, it is a computer-based set of data for the common variables and a system for modelling the inter-relationships between these variables, with the capacity to generate forecasts and scenarios for each the variables at regional and local scales. The model is constructed primarily on an Excel spreadsheet and can thus be run on any personal computer. The economic relationships underpinning the model were primarily derived from Oxford Economics commercially available Regional Economic Model. Additional estimation at a local level was carried out for this project and applied to the Excel model. A full description of the model is contained in the final report for the EEDA project ‘East of England: Joint Modelling for the RES and RSS’, on the EEDA website at www.eeda.org.uk/files/Joint_RES-RSS_modelling_final.pdf.
