Good News at Planning meeting tonight

20th June 2013

The revised application submitted to Three Rivers District Council to demolish the current building and build 65 dwellings on the Long Island site - was tonight again refused with no objections,  by the Planning Committee.  The refusal was proposed by Cllr Shaw, seconded by Cllr Mediratta, supported by Cllr Lloyd and Cllr Sansom.

At Cllr Sansom's request, the committee agreed that the Archaeological officer at Herts County Council will be consulted further about the their statement on the archaeological value of the site.

Following the vote by the committee to refuse the application, Cllr Shaw requested that the Conservation Officer at Three Rivers District Council be asked to review the recent decision to refuse to list this building.  It was agreed by the committee that this be put to the conservation officer.

Local resident Peter Waters delivered a witty and succinct 3 minute speech against the application.

We have no doubt that this is not the end of this story... so please watch this space for more information.
