Delay expected for Radlett rail freight inquiry result

The decision into whether a £300 million rail freight terminal will be built on Green Belt land near Radlett is not likely to be made until October.

It had been expected that Mr Phillipson's report would be passed to Secretary of State Hazel Blears for a final decision by the end of June, but his office now believes there will be a delay until the autumn.

Current Core Stategy consultation

Hertsmere Borough Council has to put together a plan of what development there should be, and where, in the borough until 2021.

The plans respond to national policy requirements, as well as community needs. The plan is called a Core Strategy and once adopted by Hertsmere will become the most important document for assessing planning applications in the future.

The consultation runs to 5pm, Monday December 17th.

There will be an exhibition and drop-in session at the Radlett Centre on 20 November from 4:30pm to 8:30pm. If you miss that one then there is another session being held at Bushey Country Club, High Street Bushey on 27 November.

Flytipping

The Council treats this problem very seriously and will prosecute anyone caught flytipping waste. The flytipping of controlled waste is a serious criminal offence which carries a fine of up to £50,000 or up to five years in prison.

Hertsmere ask that if you discover flytipped waste after the tippers have left, or of you see someone flytipping, then you follow their set of guidelines and report the matter to the council. CLICK HERE to go to the Hertsmere website for the guidelines and more details.

Proposals for Traveller/Gypsy Sites

The Society is aware of the proposals in the Scott Wilson Report and will be submitting appropriate representations to Hertsmere Borough Council. It should be noted that Hertsmere Council planning officers have shortlisted 6 sites, none of which is in Aldenham/Radlett. We suggest that anyone who has concerns should attend one of the meetings being set-up by the Council. Further information can be obtained from:- www.hertsmere.gov.uk/search?keyword=gypsies .

Strategic Rail Freight Interchange – Former Radlett Aerodrome, Park Street, St.Albans

The developers Helioslough have decided to appeal against the decision of St.Albans District Council to refuse the application. The lobby group STRiFE (www.strife.biz ) has scheduled a public meeting on Thursday 19th July at Radlett United Synagogue, Watling Street.

The Society is opposed to the application primarily on Green Belt grounds, viz: loss of openness, over-development, no exceptional circumstances. We will be submitting our case to the Planning Inspector in time for the Public Inquiry expected late 2007.
