  • Lanchester Building, Hempstead Road
    PART A Report of : HEAD OF REGENERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Date of Committee: 30 th January 2014 Site address: Lanchester Building, Hempstead Road Reference number: 13/01134 /FUL Description of development: Conversion of building for use as a primary school with nursery, including two 3 storey rear extensions, alterations to elevations and new entrance canopy. Formation of external play areas, including new surfacing, seating, fencing and gates, and alterations to landscaping. Erection of fencing around the boundaries of the site. Alterations to vehicular access to West Herts College and the provision of 7 car parking spaces, coach lay-by, cycle shelter and new footpaths. Applicant: West Herts Community Free School Trust th Date received: 6 November 2013 st 8 week date (minor): 1 January 2014 Ward: PARK SUMMARY Full planning permission is sought for the conversion of the existing Lanchester Building at West Herts College into a two form entry primary school with nursery comprising the associated extensions and alterations to the building and external ground works to facilitate this use. The building itself is locally listed and the whole site is located within the Civic Core Conservation Area. The adjacent Little Cassiobury is a Grade II* listed building. The proposed use of the Lanchester Building as a primary school will meet an identified and immediate need for primary school places within the central area of Watford. The use of the building as a school does not require planning permission; however, the proposed external works to the open space in front of the Lanchester Building are considered to have a moderate negative impact on the character and appearance of the Civic Core Conservation Area and the setting of the locally listed Lanchester Building.

Thanks to publicity in last week’s Watford Observer, cyclists crowded at the meeting point in Cassiobury Park. Young cyclists Verity and Victoria report: ‘On the sunny afternoon of October 1st 26 cyclists set out with Spokes on a relaxing cycle. We travelled about 10 miles through the beautiful countryside of Hertfordshire, with people ranging in age from teenagers to the retired. It’s only our 3rd ride with Spokes and we thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to many more adventurous outings. ‘On this ride, we most enjoyed how relaxing it was, it was a beautiful sunny day that couldn’t have been enjoyed any better than being outside and being active without knowing it! After the ride we all got to unwind by sitting in the Cha Cha Cha café’s garden and munching our pieces of cake and sipping our drinks. ‘I would highly recommend this less experienced ride to others, as it is a nice gentle way to ease yourself into, or back into, cycling with many existing cyclists there on hand and to give you helpful tips.’ Spokes Less Experienced Cyclists Rides on the First Saturday of the Month - 2011 Report For many years now, Spokes members have been trying to encourage people whose bikes are underused to get back on their bikes with short friendly rides.

  • NHS Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group Board Meeting Date of Meeting: 10 May 2018
    NHS Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group Board Meeting Date of Meeting: 10 May 2018 Title Urgent treatment and GP services at Hemel Hempstead Hospital Agenda item 6 Purpose* (tick) Decision ☒ Approval ☐ Discussion ☐ Assurance ☐ Information only ☐ Author and job title Responsible director and job title Director signature David Evans, David Evans Approved by Director of Commissioning Director of Commissioning David Evans and Juliet Rodgers Juliet Rodgers, Associate Director of Communications and Engagement Short summary of paper This paper asks the board to consider options for two services located at Hemel Hempstead Hospital: 1. Future operating hours for the urgent treatment centre which has been operating on interim hours since December 2016 due to staffing shortages overnight; 2. Future contract for the registered patient list at West Hertfordshire Medical Centre once the current fixed term contract ends in October. The paper outlines the feedback from a public consultation on both of the above services, together with information on additional factors such as demand and resourcing issues that have been taken into account in developing recommendations. The thorough process of consultation has helped mitigate the engagement risk. Risk remains of lack of support from some stakeholders. Patient safety and workforce risks are also factors in the discussion on proposals; not opening the UTC overnight would help mitigate risks around a scarce GP workforce and avoiding an inconsistent and unstable urgent care facility. Recommendation(s) The board is being asked to review the outcomes of the consultation together with evidence and information relating to other factors and to consider the following recommendations: 1. To retain the current hours of the urgent treatment centre, reflecting difficulties with staffing the service overnight, and to explore the feasibility of extending the service to midnight, subject to a workforce review that will come to board later in 2018.
