  • 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.

Then a series of enticing events throughout the year let us explore key places in more depth. I know you will all find something to enjoy and I want to congratulate those who have contributed and worked so hard to put this together. It is a collaboration of so many, including those who have read pages of type, trudged the footpaths on cold wet days, spent hours bent over maps and books, and owners who have generously let us research and explore. They have shown us all it is an anniversary really worth celebrating. Thank you so much.

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.
