PART I (‘OPEN’) BUSINESS ACTION 1. MINUTES 1.1 The Minutes of the Cabinet Panel meeting held on 8 March 2016 were confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman. 2. PUBLIC PETITIONS 2.1 There were no public petitions. HIGH SPEED 2 - FORMAL RESPONSE OF HERTFORDSHIRE 3. COUNTY COUNCIL [Officer Contact: Jenny Foster, Senior Planning Officer, (Tel: 01992 556245)] 3.1 The Panel received a report to update and inform Members of the progress of the High Speed 2 (HS2) scheme and subsequently to enable Cabinet and the County Council to consider a proposal to authorise a petition to the House of Lords opposing the High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Bill. It also described the current level of engagement that theAgenda County Pack Council 4 of 353 had with HS2 Ltd on the scheme, the arrangements for joint working with Three Rivers 1 District Council and the need for community engagement. To clarify for Members the scenario and HS2 issues in relation to Hertfordshire, officers tabled maps of the proposed Old Shire Country Park and the Colne Valley including the main construction site and tunnel : HS2 Interactive Map; TABLED Maps for Colne Valley HS2 Site Map: HS2 Compound & Tunnel; Proposed Old Shire Country Park. 3.2 Officers advised Members that, subsequent to the success of the Council’s first petition in the House of Commons against the HS2 Bill in May 2014 (which resolved detailed local access and environmental issues but most importantly slip roads on to the M25), additional provisions had been introduced by HS2 in respect of other petitioners’ issues. For Hertfordshire the most significant of these was AP4, which proposed a longer tunnel under the Chilterns and would result in more spoil and a longer construction period. Members were informed that the Council had submitted its comments on AP4 to HS2 in November 2015 but as yet had not received a response. Consequently a further petition against the Bill (Hybrid) was submitted to the House of Lords on 18 April 2016 to formally raise these concerns and negotiate their resolution with HS2 and the Secretary of State for Transport. 3.3 Officers updated the Panel that the first meeting between the County Council and HS2 to discuss the issues raised in the petition had just taken place on 9 May 2016. 3.4 The Panel noted that the 2.6km increase in length of the Chiltern Tunnel was not proportionate to the increase in construction time from 1 to 4 years and remarked that there may be reasons other than purely constructional. Officers commented that that the increased time frame could be due to having to tunnel deeper and a wider Northern Portal. 3.5 Concern was expressed about increased environmental impact, e.g. on air quality, when removing chalk from the tunnel in the summer months. Officers reported that the County Council had requested air quality monitoring every quarter as there was insufficient environmental impact data in HS2 documentation. 3.6 Changes to the profile of the landscape were discussed by Members particularly the impact on nearby West Hyde village and Maple Cross. Officers confirmed that HS2 projected a 3-10m increase in height across the land in general, which would obscure the trains from view and reduce noise levels. The exact height would depend on the quality of material extracted during tunnelling; e.g. the chalk may be tunnelled using slurry methods and the resultant material would require drying and ultimately may not be 2 CHAIRMAN’S INITIALS Agenda Pack 5 of 353 ……………. suitable for landscaping use. It was clarified that the land was currently chalky arable; the top soil would be stripped off and later replaced on top of the new profile made from the tunnelled chalk 3.7 The requirement for a direct link from the extraction site to the HS2 compound (e.g. exit of Denham Park Farm pit (sand and gravel and restoration site) and also the movement of any imported material via the M25 was emphasised by the Panel . 3.8 The proposed excavation of minerals at Pynesfield (due to come to the County Council Development Control Planning Committee on 26 May 2016) was raised by the Local Member. Excavation of minerals from this gravel pit prior to and during the HS2 process for use by HS2 was suggested, thus shortening disruption to the local community and reducing vehicle movements over the rest of Hertfordshire.

  • Hertfordshire Countryside Management Service CMS: Practical and Project Work
    Hertfordshire Countryside Management Service CMS: Practical and Project Work. Norman Jones Besides the excellent work of the Rights of Way Unit at Hertfordshire County Council the Countryside Management Service is working to improve the natural environment in Hertfordshire and promoting people’s enjoyment of it. There are two main strands of this work which are working in conjunction with the Rights of Way officers to make improvements to the Rights of Way network and project work within the districts which are sponsors of CMS. Rights of Way Work The CMS has three teams of volunteers doing practical work, on Tuesdays in the east of the County on Wednesday in the west and south of the county and on Thursday in the north of the county. Much of the work is on District Council green spaces but there is a substantial amount of work on the Rights of Way network clearing encroaching vegetation and enhancing infrastructure like replacing stiles with kissing gates. In the six months up to Autumn last year the conservation groups have installed or restored 258 steps. As noted in the CMS Newsletter if this was calculated as one continuous flight it would scale 39 metres, the height of a 20 storey building. 65 metres of new boardwalk has been installed. A particular achievement was the building of a flight of 21 steps at Charlton near Hitchin. Green Spaces I will initially highlight some of the sites with particular interest for walkers. Oughtonhead Common Oughtonhead Common is on the Eastern outskirts of Hitchin. The common runs up to the River Oughton and access is also possible on the private land running up to the source of the river at Oughton Head.

  • North Hertfordshire Open Space Review & Standards 2016
    North Hertfordshire Open Space Review & Standards 2016 PART 1: OPEN SPACE REVIEW 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Access to high quality open spaces and opportunities for sport and recreation can make an important contribution to the health and well-being of communities; and if well designed and maintained they can make areas attractive places to live, work and visit. 1.2 Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 (PPG17): Planning for Open Space, Sport and Recreation (2002) aimed to improve the quantity and quality of open space, by requiring local authorities to undertake an assessment of needs and opportunities in their area, and to develop a series of local standards by which to improve the overall provision of open space. 1.3 In 2009 an assessment was carried out to assess the provision of open space, sport and recreation facilities in North Hertfordshire, based on PPG17 and its Companion Guide (Assessing Needs and Opportunities). This North Hertfordshire Green Space Standards document examined the existing provision based on different types of open space and set out open space standards, differentiating between urban and rural developments. 1.4 The purpose of this 2016 report is to review open space provision in the District since the open space assessment undertaken in 2009. In doing so, it will provide an updated position on the latest provision of open space, sport and recreation facilities in North Hertfordshire. This work is being done in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2012) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) (2014), which have replaced PPG17 and its Companion Guide. 1.5 This 2016 update will ensure that the Local Plan is supported by an up-to-date assessment and will form part of the evidence base.

    HERTFORDSHIRE BIOLOGICAL RECORDS CENTRE Environment, County Hall, Hertford, Herts, SG13 8DN Planning Policy Ask for: M. Hicks North Herts District Council Our Ref: District Council Offices Your Ref: Gernon Road Tel: 01992 556158 Letchworth Garden City SG6 3JF Date: 21/03/2013 Dear Sir Local Plan 2011 – 2031 Housing Options Growth Levels and Locations 2011 – 2031 Consultation Paper February 2013 I would like to make the following comments on the above consultation: 1. Housing Options Part 1: Housing Numbers 1. There is no indication as to how many of the strategic Sites might be used, or whether it may be that parts of all of them may be released for development, although if new discrete communities are planned with minimum sizes for facilities etc. this may not be an option. It is suggested that at least one will be required to meet the target of 10,700 dwellings (1.46). However, if somewhat variable, this could obviously have an impact on the environmental implications of any development. 2. Currently, the increase in proposed homes represents an increase of over 20% of the existing resource; this will also – crudely - increase the resulting generic environmental pressures such as increasing transport, water demand, pollution and disturbance by 20%, overall within the District and locally where development takes place. This may result in direct impacts such as the lowering of water tables if over-abstraction occurs, as well as increased nitrogen deposition, although it is hoped that measures will be taken in an attempt to address these issues as part of more detailed planning.
