East Hertfordshire District in the County of Hertfordshire Local Government Boundary Commission For England Report No.149 LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY• COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND REPORT NO. LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY 'COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN Sir Edmund Compton, GCB,KBE. DEPUTY CHAIRMAN Mr J M Rankin,QC. MEMBERS The Countess Of Albemarle, DBE. Mr T C Benfield. ' Professor Michael Chiaholm. Sir Andrew l*ThoatleyfCBE. Mr P B Young, CBE. To the Rt Hon Roy Jenkins HP Secretary of State for the Home Department PROPOSALS FOR FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS TOR THE EAST HERTFORDSHIRE DISTRICT IN THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE 1. We, the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, having carried out 0 our initial review of the electoral arrangements for the East Hertfordshire district, in accordance with the requirements of section 63 of, and Schedule 9 * to, the Local Government Act 1972, present our proposals for the future electoral arrangements for that district. 2. In accordance with the procedure laid down in section 60(1) and (2) of the 1972 Act, notice was given on 10 June 197** that we were to undertake this review. This was incorporated in a consultation letter addressed to the East Hertfordshire District Council, copies of which were circulated to the Hertfordshire County (Council, parish councils and pariah meetings in East Hertfordshire district, the Members of Parliament for the constituencies concerned and the headquarters of the main political parties. Copies were also sent to the editors of the local nev/spapers circulating in the area and of the local government press. Notices inserted in the local press announced the start of the review and invited comments from members of the public and from interested bodies* 3- The East Hertfordshire District Council were invited to prepare a draft scheme of representation for our consideration. When doing so, they were asked to observe the rules laid down in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972, and (, , the guidelines which wo set out in our Report No 6 about the proposed size of the council and the proposed number of councillora-for each ward. They were also asked to take into account any views expressed to them following their consultation with local interests* We therefore asked that they should publish details of their provisional proposals about a month before they submitted their draft scheme to us, thus allowing an opportunity for local comment. 4. The Council have passed a resolution under section 7(*0(a) of the Local Government Act 1972 requesting the Secretary of State to provide for a system of whole council elections* 5. On 9 December 197*N East Hertfordshire District Council presented their draft scheme of representation. They proposed to divide the area of the district into 31 wards, each returning from 1 to 3 members to give a council of 49. 6. We considered the draft scheme submitted by the Council. We noted that, taking into account the forecast growth, there would be some imbalance between the proposed representation of Bishop's Stortford and the remainder of the district. We therefore allocated an extra councillor to one of the Bishop's Stortford wards. We noted that the draft scheme as modified complied with the rules in Schedule 11 to the Local Government Act 1972, and with our own guidelines and we considered that it provided a satisfactory basis of representation for the district. We decided to shorten the names of some of the wards. We then formulated our draft proposals accordingly. 7. On ^ April 1975» we issued our draft proposals and these were sent to all who had received our consultation letter or had made comments. The Council were asked to make these draft proposals, and the accompanying map which defined the proposed ward boundaries, available for inspection at their main offices. Representations on our draft proposals were invited from those to whom they were circulated and, by. public notices, from members of the public and interested bodies. We asked that any comments should reach us by 30 May 1975. 8. East Hertfordshire District Council accepted the draft proposals in general, but suggested a boundary change between two wards of Bishop's Stortford. Hertfordshire County Council thought the wards proposed for Bishop's Stortford might be incompatible with future county electoral arrangements. A political association and a ratepayers' association submitted alternative proposals for Bishop's Stortford. A political party suggested modifications to our draft proposals for Hertford, There was also a suggestion for re-grouping parishes and parish wards in the northern part of the district. 9. In view of these comments we considered that we needed further information to enable us to reach a conclusion. Therefore, in accordance with section 65(2) of the.1972 Act,and at our request, you appointed Mr H J Backhouse as an Assistant Commissioner to hold a local meeting and report to us. 10. The Assistant Commissioner held the meeting at Bishop's Stortford on 2*f September 1975- A copy of his report is attached as Schedule 1 to this report. 11. The Assistant Commissioner recommended that our draft proposals should be approved subject to modifications in the areas of Hertford and Bishop's Stortford. 12. We considered again our draft proposals in the light of the comments which we had received and of the Assistant Commissioner's report of the local meeting. We noted that, because of the provisions of paragraph 3^2)(b) of Schedule 11 to the 1972 Act, our acceptance of the Assistant Commissioner's recommendations depended on action by the District Council to complete their review of parish electoral arrange- ments for Bishop's Stortford and Hertford. We thought that the alterations recommended by the Assistant Commissioner should be made and decided to bring them to the attention of the District Council with a request that they consider them in making their proposed order under section 50(4) of the Act to revise the wards of the towns. Otherwise, we were of the opinion that we should confirm our draft proposals and we asked the District Council to proceed, as they had originally proposed, in regard to the warding of the parish of Ware, and to make the necessary parish warding order. 13. The District Council completed their reviews of tho parish electoral arrange- ments of the successor parishes of Hertford, Bishop's Stortford and Ware and made orders which will bring the new arrangements into effect on the same date as the new district council arrangements. The new parish wards in Hertford and Bishop's Stortford correspond with wards recommended by the Assistant Commissioner* 14. In the light of all the evidence before us we decided to confirm our provisional decision that we should modify our draft proposals as recommended by the Assistant Commissioner, and we formulated our final proposals accordingly. 15» Details of these final proposals are set out in Schedules 2 and 3 to this report and on the attached map. Schedule 2 gives the names of the wards and the number of councillors to be returned by each. The new wards are defined in Schedule 3 and are illustrated on the attached map. PUBLICATION 16. In accordance with Section 60(5)(b) of the Local Government Act 1972 a copy of this report and a copy of the map are being sent to East Hertfordshire District Council and will be available for public inspection at the Council offices at Bishop's Stortford. Copies of this report are also being sent to those who received the consultation letter or have subsequently made comments. Signed L.S. EDMUND COMPTON (CHAIRMAN) JOHN M RANKIN (DEPUTY CHAISMAN) DIANA ALBEMARLE T C BKNFIELD MICHAEL CIIISHOLH ANDREW WHEATLE7 DAVID H SMITH (Secretary) 4. March 1976 SCHEDULE 1 RB>OBT OP MEETING TO INQUIRE IHTO THS FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRAHGaiWS FOR THE DISTRICT OP EAST HERTFORDSHIRE. I attended at the Council Offices, Bishops 3tortford, on 24th September, 1975 to hear representations relating to the following wards proposed by the Commissioni- Buntingford, St. Andrews and All Saints in Hertford and, Parsonage, Hookerill, Havers and Thorley in Bishops 3tortford. The persons set out in the attached list attended. BUHTIHQFQHD The Commission's proposals are that the Buntingford ward should be created from the parishes of Buntingford and the adjoining parishes of Wyddial, Anstey, Meesden and Brent Pel ham. Mr. Albert Chapman, a resident of Buntingford, claimed that the parishes which were joined to Buntingford had no community of interest with Buntingford and, for electoral purposes, tended to be unrepresented. He therefore felt that Buntingford parish should stand alone for District Council electoral purposes, being primarily urban in character. If, however, Buntingford had to be joined to other parishes for electoral purposes, then it should be joined to the Parish of Aspenden with which there were some community ties. He instanced in support of this that children from Buntingford (including his own) play on Aspenden Village Green and that Buntingford had assisted Aspenden Parish Council in maintaining the swings on the Green* Finally* he objected to the principle of more than on* councillor representing a ward and felt that Buntingford oould be conveniently divi- ded into two wards by the A.10 road* which would give a balanced representation between the new housing estates and the older part of the community. Mr. Weaver, a Buntingford Town Councillor, said that his Council's original view was that, because of the increase in population in the To*n, particularly of younger people, the Town should be represented by two councillors. However, when the joined Parish Councils were consulted, they indicated that they were happy with the proposed ward. The Town Council, therefore, ooneidered that they had insufficient grounds for objecting to the amalgamation with the adjoining parishes.

Today, the parish covers a large area, one of the biggest in the Hundred Parishes, incorporating the villages of Standon and Puckeridge and also the hamlets of Barwick, Colliers End, Latchford and Wellpond Green. Standon, Latchford and Barwick grew up beside the River Rib, which meanders from north to south through the middle of the parish. Puckeridge and Colliers End developed alongside Ermine Street, the old Roman road from London to Lincoln and York that later became a busy coaching route, especially serving London and Cambridge. A second Roman highway, Stane Street, ran between Colchester and St Albans, crossing Ermine Street at a Roman town whose location was close to the present northern parish boundary with Braughing, a boundary that is today largely defined by the old route of Stane Street. Wellpond Green is a relatively new residential hamlet. Much of Stane Street has become today’s A120, with a diversion that now runs to the south of Puckeridge.

  • East Herts District Plan
    East Herts District Plan Strategic March 2017 Land Availability Assessment 1.0 Introduction 1.1 National planning policy requires all Local Planning Authorities to produce a technical study known as the Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) in order to identify sites with potential for future development. The SLAA has informed work on the District Plan and Neighbourhood Planning. It has also assisted with the identification of future land supply. 1.2 The SLAA is a ‘live’ document in that it should be updated on a regular basis in order to reflect changing circumstances. Therefore, this version of the SLAA presents the most up to date position as at March 2017. 2.0 Methodology 2.1 Paragraphs 019 to 021 of the PPG identify that, when undertaking a SLAA, sites should be considered against three criteria, namely; suitability, availability and achievability. These terms are explained below. Suitability The assessment of suitability takes into account a range of policy constraints. These include environmental and heritage designations, impact on landscape and character, flooding and Green Belt / Rural Area Beyond the Green Belt. Availability A site is considered to be available if there are no legal or ownership issues which would prevent the site coming forward for development. Achievability Achievability is effectively a judgement about the economic viability of a site, and the capacity of the developer to complete the development over a certain period of time. 2.2 Having assessed each site against the three criteria, a conclusion can be reached. If a site is considered to be suitable, available and achievable, then it is regarded as being ‘deliverable’.

Deposited by Messrs. Boulton Sons and Sandeman for the Cannon Brewery. Inventory compiled: LAccession 162] March 1968 D/ECb Introduction This collection consists of deeds incident to the conveyance of the vhole of the Hoddesdon Brewery and all its licensed houses in 1866 and titl e deeds of some of those houses and of others that were acquired later. The expansion of Hoddesdon Brewery dates from its purchase by William Whittingstall from Rene Briand in 1781. From that date til l his death in 1803, rfhittingstall systematically enlarged the brewery*s commercial outlets by buying up a number of public houses in the surrounding district. Messrs. John Christie and George Cathrow bought the property from Vhittingstall's executors and at the death of Cathrow in 1842 it was sold privately to a new partnership of Messrs. Peter Christie, John Back and Robert Hunt. After Peter Christie's death and when 3ack and Hunt had retired to their country estates, the firm was conveyed in 1866 to Charles Peter Christie. On his death in 1898 it was turned into a public company which 30 years later was absorbed by the Cannon Brewery of London, later controlled by Taylor, Valker and Co. and now by the Ind Coope combine.
