The aim of this Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) is to give account of as many aspects of planning within Welwyn Hatfield Borough as possible during the period 1st April 2005 and 31st March 2006. District Plan Objectives and Targets are assessed and reviewed to show how the District Plan 2005 is functioning and whether it is doing so effectively. Local Development Framework monitoring is an evolving process. One of the main aims of this years report is to build on the initial baseline data collected in the first AMR and where baseline data was not available previously, attempt to provide it this year. The successful monitoring of the LDF will ultimately be dependant on analysing trends and drawing conclusions from data spanning a number of years of monitoring. Although the situation is much improved from the first AMR, this is only the second year of monitoring and as a result in some cases it is still not yet possible to draw meaningful conclusions. Local Development Scheme – Key Milestones • The key milestone of submitting the Statement of Community Involvement was reached on 10 May 2006. Contextual Characteristics • In 2005 Welwyn Hatfield Boroughs population was estimated at 100,500 residents (NOMIS, 2005). • Welwyn Hatfield Council own’s the largest amount of woodland in the county. Two important woodlands are SSSI’s (Sherrardspark Wood and Northaw Great Wood). Sherrardspark Wood was resurveyed recently and Unit 3 on the north eastern side of the wood has improved and is now in an ‘unfavourable recovering condition’. Sustainable Development • 99 per cent of new residential development completed in the year is located within 30 minutes travel time by public transport to key services and facilities. These are GPs, primary and secondary schools, areas of employment and major retail centres. 61 per cent of new homes are within 30 minutes travel time by public transport to hospitals. • Three developments including renewable energy generation have been completed. These include the provision of solar panels on housing developments at a) Bishops Rise and b) Wenham Place, Wellfield Road, Hatfield and c) Ground source heat pump at the church rooms extension at St. Mary’s Church, Welwyn. There are a number of other examples in the borough; however planning permission is not required for them. Business Development • 100 per cent of the land developed for industrial/commercial purposes in 2005/2006 was carried out on previously developed land. iv Welwyn Hatfield Annual Monitoring Report 2005/2006 • There has been a net gain of 8866 m² of employment floorspace within designated Employment Areas but overall within the Borough the last year has seen a net decrease in employment generating floorspace of 7,548m2. • Monitoring indicates a potential net increase in floorspace of 198,874m² in the borough. At the time of the survey many schemes were either under construction or yet to start. Housing • 94 per cent of completions in the year were on previously developed land (PDL). This exceeds the Government target of 60 per cent residential completions on PDL by 2008. • 91 per cent of new dwellings (on sites of 10 dwellings or more) were built at a density of more than 30 dwellings per hectare. 60 per cent of these were built above 50 dwellings per hectare. • 736 new dwellings were completed in the year far exceeding the existing target of 280 dwellings per annum. During the period April 1991 to 31 March 2006, 4,848 dwellings (out of the total Structure Plan allocation of 5600) have been completed. We expect to reach our Structure Plan allocation by December 2006 which is 5 years early. v Welwyn Hatfield Annual Monitoring Report 2005/2006 Glossary of Terms Annual Monitoring Report (AMR): A report submitted to the government by local planning authorities or regional planning bodies assessing progress with, and the effectiveness, of a Local Development Framework.

Following the invitation from the Inspector to all Representors to comment on Welwyn Hatfield Local Plan Documents, this response has been compiled by Welwyn Parish Council in conjunction with Welwyn Planning and Amenity Group. Welwyn Parish Council have made no comment on documents EX154, EX157, EX158 and EX159 as they relate to locations outside of Welwyn Parish. We regard EX156 and EX160 as being of great significance and importance in helping determine future development in the area. Both documents cover the whole of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s domain but as far as possible, we have restricted our comments to those sections of the documents that refer to Welwyn Parish Council’s geographic area. INTRODUCTION This report is Welwyn Parish Council’s (WPC) response to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s (WHBC) Documents EX1561 & EX1602, submitted following invitation from the Inspector of the WHBC Local Plan. We welcome WHBC’s initiative in commissioning these reports following the Inspector’s comments3 that protection of settlement pattern was not a statutory purpose of the Green Belt and his suggestion of considering specific designations to provide protection for breaks between settlements rather than relying on Green Belt policy. WPC greatly appreciates the opportunity to comment on these two reports, which we regard as being potentially of great importance in determining future development in the area.
