    Part I Item No: 11 Main author: Bryce Tudball Executive Member: Cllr Mandy Perkins All Wards WELWYN HATFIELD BOROUGH COUNCIL CABINET PLANNING AND PARKING PANEL – 12 APRIL 2018 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (PUBLIC PROTECTION, PLANNING AND GOVERNANCE) DRAFT COLE GREEN WAY GREENSPACE ACTION PLAN 2018-2023 CONSULTATION 1 Executive Summary 1.1 A draft Greenspace Action Plan (GAP) has been prepared for Cole Green Way by the Countryside Management Service (CMS) on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council (HCC). 1.2 Cole Green Way is a 6.2km non-motorised transport route following the former Hertford to Welwyn Garden City branch line. It provides a traffic-free connection between Hertford and Welwyn Garden City connecting at both ends to links to the respective town centres and forms part of the Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 61. 1.3 The draft GAP focuses on the section of Cole Green Way between Hertford and the A414 which is owned by HCC and will make recommendations for the management of the remainder of the route. 1.4 A briefing document was produced by CMS in August 2017 as a first stage of engagement on the GAP. The Council’s proposed consultation response was reported to this Panel on 5 October 2017 and following agreement of the Panel was submitted to the CMS on 12 October 2017. 1.5 The CMS has considered the feedback from the consultation on the briefing document and has subsequently prepared a draft Cole Green Way Greenspace Action Plan 2018-2023. This report summarises the draft GAP and sets out the Council’s response to the consultation which was agreed with the Executive Member for Planning, Housing and Community and submitted to HCC by email on Friday 16 March.

  • Nickey Line Greenspace Action Plan 2019 – 2024
    NICKEY LINE GREENSPACE ACTION PLAN 2019 – 2024 Produced by: On behalf of: OVERVIEW Greenspace Action Plans Greenspace Actions Plans (GAPs) are map-based management plans which specify activities that should take place on a site over a stated period of time; these activities will help to deliver the agreed aspirations which the site managers and stakeholders have identified for that site. Public Engagement Engagement with stakeholders is at the centre of effective management planning on any site. An initial engagement period was held for five weeks in December 2017 and January 2018, to establish core aims and objectives for the site; these are reflected in Section 3. This plan has been produced for a second stage of engagement to enable stakeholders to comment on the proposed management actions for the site. Coordination with St Albans City & District Council As the Nickey Line leaves from Hemel Hempstead towards Redbourn, it crosses into the St Albans District Council (SADC) administrative area. A GAP is already in place for the St Albans section. The programme of works for the Dacorum section has been produced to complement the programme in the St Albans section. A coordinated approach will be taken wherever practical to deliver projects jointly to ensure continuity across the administrative boundary.

  • Redbourn, Rothamsted, Harpenden and Redbournbury Mill
    Redbourn, Rothamsted, Harpenden and Redbournbury Mill Start: Redbourn Common Author: Chris & Lynda Abbott Nearest Post Code: AL3 7NG OS Map Ref: TL 102119 Distance: 8 miles (13 km) Ascent 350 feet (108m) Parking: Redbourn Common next to the cricket pavilion. Facing the cricket pavilion, turn right and follow the path, lined with trees, to the end of the common, ignoring the left-hand fork. Cross the road and follow the alleyway to the right of Cumberland House (large red brick building). It leads to the High Street. Turn right and first left down Waterend Lane. Follow this windy lane to the Nicky Line footpath, which runs beside the bypass. Turn left along the footpath and continue to the roundabout, where cross two roads to the continuation of the Nicky Line. Go along the Nicky Line towards Harpenden. After half a mile, continue past Knott Wood, which is on your right. At the corner of Knott Wood (waymark but no signpost) turn right and walk eastwards along its northern edge. When you come to a gate into the wood, turn right into it. Make a circuit of the wood, leave by the same gate and turn right so you continue walking eastwards. There are lots of paths but it is a small wood. You can use a different exit on the northern edge but don’t exit the wood on its eastern edge because that path does not connect to the route. After a quarter mile broad path bends sharp left and right. Further on it makes a sharp left turn just before some buildings.

  • Chilterns Cycleway Off-Road Sections; Alternative Road Routes (Last Updated 3Rd May 2013)
    Chilterns Cycleway off-road sections; alternative road routes (last updated 3rd May 2013) 1) The main off-road section is from Pirton to just south of Little Offley, following a bridleway which has really deteriorated over the winter and is in very poor condition at the moment (large ruts and potholes). This is approximately 4km (2.5 miles) in length. We would not recommend cycling along the B655, it is a fast road with poor sightlines. The safest alternative is to take the minor road south of Higham Gobion to Great Offley (ie missing out the Apsley End/Pirton section of the route). 2) Section of the Grand Union Canal through Berkhamsted Follow the road parallel to the High Street (named Charles Street, off the A416, or Granville Road at the Northchurch end) 3) Section through the Ashridge Estate along Duncombe Terrace (from the Monument and visitor centre to the road near Ivinghoe), about 3km. Some of this is a good hard surface (designed for mobility scooters), but there are some sections near Ivinghoe with a softer surface. There is a good alternative on the B4506 Ringshall Road as shown below. 4) The Chilterns Cycleway follows the Chiltern Heritage Trail through Chesham, the surfacing for this is fairly good but there sections which can be uneven or slightly rutted, particularly after rain. The alternative road is busy (and there are some rather large pot-holes in places at time of writing) but takes you directly into Chesham. From Chesham follow the A416 Amersham road, re-joining the Cycleway at Amersham.

  • Hill End Station
    History Trail Point 9 – Hill End Station In 1862 the Hatfield and St Albans Railway Company was formed. In 1865 a link was constructed from the London Road terminus to Abbey Station. There were halts at Sanders (the orchid growers), Hill End, Smallford, Nast Hyde and on to Hatfield. Hill End station was opened on 1st May 1899 to serve the Hertfordshire County Asylum with passengers being set down, on request to the guard. A siding ran south across Hill End Lane, between the houses into the hospital grounds for delivering coal, stores and sometimes patients. The line was poorly used with passenger demand destroyed by the new Midland main line railway to St Albans (City) and was closed to passengers in 1951 and freight traffic in 1964. Mr Truwert recalls how, in the 1950s,” some of the patients from Cell Barnes hospital worked at the nearby station” (Herts Memories/Lost Rails/The Alban Way) Hill End Station 1959 (Courtesy M. Covey-Crump) The station buildings consisted of a wooden parcels office, waiting room and timber office and an iron gents Hill End Halt with footway over tracks between the Hospital and Marconi’s electrical engineering works at loo. Long Acres – late 1950’s. Hospital Pumping Station is the large building in right background. (Source unknown) “Many people will remember Hill End Railway Station which was situated quite near to the hospital, consisting of a single track line operating between St Albans and Hatfield, by which lots of goods were brought to the hospital until the station closed sometime after the war.

  • DMC-14-12-2017-Item 5K-Boxmoor Hall, St Johns Road , Item 129. PDF
    4/02224/17/FUL - CONVERSION OF BOXMOOR HALL INTO 7 RESIDENTIAL UNITS. BOXMOOR HALL, ST JOHNS ROAD, HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, HP1 1JR. APPLICANT: Mr & Mrs Lardner. [Case Officer - Nigel Gibbs] Summary The proposed conversion of this building with Class D1/ D2 use is, according to the Applicant/ Agent, due to the cumulative effect of a range of factors, notwithstanding the fact that the building was purchased from the Council to continue in such lawful uses. These factors have been examined by the Strategic Planning Unit which is very conscious of the importance of retaining the Borough’s community/ social infrastructure though Dacorum Core Strategy Policy CS23, being such an important sustainable development policy. However, with due weight given to the Applicant’s / Agent’s submitted information regarding viability and other community buildings locally, together with issues concerning noise and site licensing issues it is considered that there is a case to support the loss of this community use building. Despite the original intention to use the building for its lawful use as a public hall it has proved extremely problematic and has become increasingly difficult, hence the application for residential use. The proposed loss of this historically important community use building has been very carefully considered, There are available alternative community buildings for such purposes. It has therefore been concluded that there is a case for the loss of the hall. Set against this, the principle of a residential use is regarded as an acceptable alternative in a very sustainable location where there can be a flexible approach to the level of parking.
