Introduction 1.1. In early 2015 Dacorum Borough Council, Hertsmere Borough Council, Three Rivers District Council and Watford Borough Council commissioned consultants GL Hearn (in conjunction with Justin Gardner Consulting) to carry out a Strategic Housing Market Assessment for the south west Hertfordshire area. An Economy Study for the same area was commissioned in parallel, from consultants Regeneris, in conjunction with GL Hearn. 1.2. Both studies have been carried out using the framework set out by Government in the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) and in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 1.3. The PPG encourages the early co-operation and involvement with a range of local stakeholders when preparing housing and economic need assessments: (Paragraph: 007Reference ID: 2a-007-20150320) 1.4. In order to comply with this advice, and also to test market perceptions of the draft recommendations arising from both studies, a stakeholder workshop was held on 14 September 2015, at the South Hill Centre, Hemel Hempstead. The purpose of this workshop was: “To provide feedback and comment on the draft findings of the SW Herts Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) and Economy Study and discuss the inter-linkages between the number, type and distribution of future homes and jobs.” 1.4 Attendees were also made aware that the figures coming out of both studies for home and jobs needs do not necessarily equate to future Local Plan / Core Strategy targets and that the event was not an opportunity to promote individual sites.
