Part I Item No: 11 Main author: Bryce Tudball Executive Member: Cllr Mandy Perkins All Wards WELWYN HATFIELD BOROUGH COUNCIL CABINET PLANNING AND PARKING PANEL – 12 APRIL 2018 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (PUBLIC PROTECTION, PLANNING AND GOVERNANCE) DRAFT COLE GREEN WAY GREENSPACE ACTION PLAN 2018-2023 CONSULTATION 1 Executive Summary 1.1 A draft Greenspace Action Plan (GAP) has been prepared for Cole Green Way by the Countryside Management Service (CMS) on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council (HCC). 1.2 Cole Green Way is a 6.2km non-motorised transport route following the former Hertford to Welwyn Garden City branch line. It provides a traffic-free connection between Hertford and Welwyn Garden City connecting at both ends to links to the respective town centres and forms part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 61. 1.3 The draft GAP focuses on the section of Cole Green Way between Hertford and the A414 which is owned by HCC and will make recommendations for the management of the remainder of the route. 1.4 A briefing document was produced by CMS in August 2017 as a first stage of engagement on the GAP. The Council’s proposed consultation response was reported to this Panel on 5 October 2017 and following agreement of the Panel was submitted to the CMS on 12 October 2017. 1.5 The CMS has considered the feedback from the consultation on the briefing document and has subsequently prepared a draft Cole Green Way Greenspace Action Plan 2018-2023. This report summarises the draft GAP and sets out the Council’s response to the consultation which was agreed with the Executive Member for Planning, Housing and Community and submitted to HCC by email on Friday 16 March.

Colin Haigh Our Ref: Head of Planning Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council Your Ref: Campus East Welwyn Garden City Herts. 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.

RETIREMENT LIVING MADE BETTER Proposed Retirement Village Cole Green Way, Hertford Planning Statement Woodlands Retirement Village RETIREMENT LIVING MADE BETTER Retirement Living Made Better The Vision seeks to: Achieve a new sustainable development that is tailored to the particular and distinctive circumstances of Hertford.

The proposals constitute inappropriate development within the Metropolitan Green Belt and are therefore, by definition, harmful to it. Other harm would also result from a loss of openness to the surrounding area; an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area; the isolated and unsustainable location of the site and the adverse impact upon protected trees.

Jan 2009 Newsletter
WELWYN GARDEN CITY SOCIETY Newsletter January 2009 www.wgcsoc.org.uk Dear Member Well, we have discovered what makes a number of our residents tick - trains! Our last newsletter carried a brief summary of the light railways that were used to bring construction materials to building sites as the town was first being built. We have had a number of comments since and a selection of them is included. You will see that we asking for your help on a number of issues and your assistance where this is requested would be most welcome. We also have two dates for your diaries. Finally, we are giving web site addresses on a number of issues in this edition and we are conscious that some residents do not have access to the internet. I do not think we can avoid this these days, as it is by far the easiest way to get information. However, members can usually get access to the internet through friends and, of course, the local libraries provide free access for up to an hour. Moorlands – Beehive Conservation Area 1 Estate Management Scheme ۩ Members will note that the Estate Management Scheme is to get a new lease of life as our last newsletter set out. Members will also recall that one of the most frequently mentioned points that residents raised in the consultation period with the Council was the importance of “enforcement”. Indeed, without proper enforcement the scheme would fail once more to meet the aspirations of those who wish to see the Garden City continue as something very distinct.

INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY 1.1 General 1.1.1 This report has been prepared for Woodlands Retirement Village Limited (WRVL) in connection with the proposed development of a site at ‘Brickfields’, on the south western edge of Hertford for a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). CCRCs are intended to provide a flexible range of care options for older people, catering for both the fit and those needing support. The site lies within the administrative area of East Herts District Council (EHDC). 1.1.2 This site lies around 1km to the south west of the centre of Hertford, on the site of a former brickworks and immediately to the west of the London to Hertford North railway line, which is elevated as it passes across the valleys of the River Mimram and River Lea (see Figure 1). The Cole Green Way (a pedestrian and cycle route linking Hertford with Welwyn Garden City, along a former railway line) runs to the north of the site, and there is an extensive (but currently disused) area of greenhouses and a small group of houses immediately to the west.
